INDLEDNING ved Domstolens prresident G.C. Rodriguez Iglesias
FOREWORD by Mr G.C. Rodriguez Iglesias, President of the Court of Justice
I är 2000 er Domstolens arbejde blevet intensiveret.I denne periode er derregistreret 901 sager, hvoraf 503 ved Domstolen og 398 ved Retten i Fsrste
In the course of the year 2000 the level of judicial activity increased.
Instans, og 870 sager er afgjort, nemlig 526 ved Domstolen og 344 ved Retten.
Over thatperiod 901 cases were lodged, 503 at the Court of Justice and 398 at the Court of First Instance, and 870 were disposed of , 526by the Court of Justice and 344by the Court of First Instance.
Alt tyder pä, at antallet af sager fortsat vil stige.
There is every reasonto believe that the number of cases before the Community Courts will continue to grow.
Domstolen og Rettener derfor meget tilfredse med i är 2000 at have fäet Rädets samtykke til atendre deres procesreglementer og indfsre nye vrerktojer, navnlig enhasteprocedure og en forenklet procedure for behandlingen af sagerne.
It was thereforewith very great satisfactionthat in 2000 the Court of Justice and the Court of First Instance receivedthe Council's approval to amendtheir Rules of Procedureand introduce new instruments, in particular an accelerated procedure and asimplified procedure for disposing of cases.
Disse foranstaltninger, som skal forbedre afuiklingen af sagerne og nedbringesagsbehandlingstiden, ville kun have ringe virkning, hvis Domstolen ikke havdetilstrrekkelige ressourcer til at klareden stigende arbejdsbyrde, som denikke har herredsmmetover.
Those measures, designed to improve the conduct of proceedings and to reducetheir duration. would remain of little effect if the Court of Justice did not havesufficient resources to contendwith changes in a workload over which it has nocontrol. In this regard, the Court of Justice must express satisfactionat theunderstanding shown to it by the budgetary authorities, in particular the EuropeanParliament .
Hvad det angär glrederDomstolen sig over den forstäelse, den har msdt hos budgetmyndigheden, navnlig Europa-Parlamentet.De midler, der er afsat pä budgettet for 2001, skulle gffie det muligt for Domstolen, dels fortsat at sikre, at dommene foreligger pä alle sprog den dag,hvor de afsiges,dels at nedbringeefterslrebet af tekster,der skal oversrettes,som har en stor indflydelse pä sagsbehandlingstiden.
The resources granted under the 2001 budget should enable it, first,to continue to make judgments available in all the languages on the actual day ofdelivery and, second, to reduce the backlog of texts to be translated whichseriously affects the period within which cases are dealt.
Hvis tendensentil etstigende antal sager skulle fortsrette, mä budgetmyndigheden imidlertid afoassede ressourcer,der tildeles institutionen, herefter, for at kontinuiteteni arbejdetkan bevares.
However, if the trendof increasingnumbers of cases were to persist, it would be for the budgetaryauthorities to adjust the resources allocatedto the institution in order to maintaincontinuity of judicial activity.
For Domstolen har är 2000 - ligesom for de andre institutioner - vreretprreget af regeringskonferencen, som var helliget reformen af institutionernei Den Europreiske Union med henblik pä udvidelsen. Konferencen sluttede idecember 2000 under Det Europeiske Räd i Nice og forte for Domstolens og Rettens vedkommende til en rrekkereformer, som i det store og hele ligger pälinje med de overvejelser,Domstolen selv havde gjort sig, navnlig medforslagene i dens oplreg "Den Europreiske Unions Domstolsordnings Fremtid",som blev forelagt Rädet(ustitsministrene) i maj 1999.
For the Court of Justice as for the other institutions, the year 2000 was markedby the Intergovernmental Conference which took place, devoted to institutionalreform of the European Union with a view to its enlargement.
Disse serlige retsinstanser - som kan oprettespä Kommissionens eller Domstolens initiativ for at aflaste Retten, som de vil blive tilknyttet - skaltreffe afgorelse i fsrste instans i visse arter af sager inden for srerligeomräder,f.eks. personalesager.
'l'he judtcial panels, rvhosecreatlon, or the initiative of the Commission or the Court of Justice, is intended to relievc the burden on the Court of First Instanceto which they wiil be attached,wiil hear and determine at first instance certainclasses of actions or proceeciings brought in specific areas, such as litigationbetween the Communitv and members of its staff.
Den nye traktatgor det ogsä muligt at tillregge Retten kompetence til at afgoreprajudicielle sporgsmäl inden for sarlige omräder fastlagt i statutten.
The new Treaty also allows the Court of First Instance to be conferredjurisdiction to hear and determine questions referred for a preliminary ruling inspecific areas laid down by the Statute.
Som folge af denne udvikling vil der ogsä ske en tilpasning for sä vidt angär Domstolens provelse af Rettens afgorelser.
Because of thesechanges, review by the Court of Justice of decisions of the Courtof First Instance will also be modified.
Säledes kan muligheden for atappellere afgorelserne til Domstolen undergives betingelser og begraensninger,der fastsrttesi statutten.
Thus, the possibility of bringing anappeal before the Court of Justice may be subject to conditions and limits to belaid down by the Statute.
Ligeledes vil de afgorelser, Retten mätte trreffe omprrejudicielle sporgsmäI, eller i sager, der indbringes vedrsrende afgorelsertruffet af de srerlige retsinstanser, kun undtagelsesvis kunne underkastesfornyet provelse ved Domstolen, nemlig hvis der er alvorlig risiko for, atfrellesskabsrettens ensartede anvendelse eller sammenhengkan pävirkes.
Likewise, decisions which the Court of First Instancecould be called on to give on questions referred for a preliminary ruling or inactions brought against decisions of the judicial panelswill be subject to reviewby the Court of Justice only exceptionally,that is to say where there is a seriousrisk of the unity or consistencyof Community law being affected.
Detvil tilkomme forstegeneraladvokaten at foreslä en sädan fornyet provelse, hvishan finder det nsdvendiet.
It will be forthe First Advocate General to propose such review where he considers it necessary.
I overensstemmelse med et forslag, som Domstolen allerede havde fremsat iforbindelse med den regeringskonference,der fsrte til Maastricht-traktaten,bestemmes det i den nye traktat, at rndringer i Domstolens og Rettensprocesreglementer fremover skal godkendes af Rädet, som ikke lrengere skaltrreffe afgorelse med enstemmighed,men med kvalificeret flertal.
Acceptinga proposal which the Court of Justice had previously put forward at thetime of the Intergovernmental Conference which led to the Maastricht Treaty, thenew Treaty provides that amendments to the Rules of Procedure of the Court of Justice and the Court of First Instance will henceforthrequire the approval of the Council acting by a qualified majority and no longer unanimously.
Desuden vil bestemmelserne i protokollen vedrsrende statutten for Domstolen- bortset fra afsnit I, som vedtsrer dommerne og generaladvokaterne -fremover kunne endres af Rädet med enstemmighed pä begrering af Domstolenog efter horing af Kommissionen og Europa-Parlamentet eller pä begrering af Kommissionen og efter horing af Domstolen og Europa-Parlamentet.
Furthermore, the Protocol on the Statute of the Court of Justice, with theexception of Title I concerning Judges and Advocates General, will in future beamended by the Council acting unanimously at the request of the Court of Justiceand after consulting the Commission and the European Parliament, or at therequest of the Commission and after consulting the Court and the European

A final assessment of the outcome of the Intergovernmental Conference will bepossible only when the necessary implementing measures have been adopted, atask to which the Court will contribute fully.
Formälet med denne rapport er at give en oversigt over de sidste tolvmäneder af Domstolens arbejde.
This report is intended to provide a picture of the judicial activity of the Court of Justice over the past 12 months.
Domstolenintensiverede sit arbejde i är 2000.
The Court increased its activity in 2000.
Den afsluttede 526 sager(395 i 1999, brutto), afsagde273 domme(235 i 1999) og 190 kendelser (143i 1999).
It brought 526 cases to a close(395 in 1999 - grossfigure, that is to say disregarding joinder), delivered2T3judgments (235 in 1999) and made 190 orders (143 in L999).
Antallet af nye sager viser en tendens til at stabilisere sig i forhold tilde foregäendeär (503 i är 2000, mod 543 i 1999 og 485 i 1998, brutto),hvilket gjorde det muligt for Domstolen at nedbringe antallet af verserendesager (fra 896 tll 873, brutto).
The number ofnew cases annually seems to be stabilising(503 in 2000 as against543 in L999and 485 in 1998, gross figures), a development which enabledthe Court to reducethe number of pending cases (from 896 to 873, gross figure).
Alligevel var antallet af verserende sager i är2000 stadig stsrre end i 1998(748, brutto).
Nevertheless, thenumber of cases pending before the Court is stitl higher than in 1998(748, gross figure).
Den gennemsnitlige sagsbehandlingstid var i det store og hele urendret iforhold til det foregäendeär, men sagsbehandlingstiden blev dog nedsatmerkbart for appelsagernes vedkommende (fra 23 mäneder i 1999 til 19mäneder i är 2000).
The average duration of proceedings was unchangedoverall comparedwith thepreceding year, with the exception of an appreciable reduction in the time takento deal with appeals (from 23 months in 1999 to 19 months in 2000).
Endelig kan man konstatereen vis regelmressighed i fordelingen af sagernemellem Domstolens plenum og afdelingerne: Domstolens plenum afgjorde ca.en ud af fire sager, mens de ovrige domme og kendelser blev afsagt afafdelinger med fem dommere (nresten en ud af to sager)og med tre dommere(mere end en ud af fire sager).
Finally, a certain constancymay be observed as regards the distribution of casesbetween the Court in plenary session and Chambers of Judges:the Court inplenary session disposed of approximately one case in four, while the remainingjudgments and orders were pronouncedby Chambers of five Judges(almost onecase in two) or Chambers of three Judges(more than one case in four).
Pä grundlag af en udvelgelse gives der i det folgende le seren enoversigt over de vigtigste afgorelser i är 2000.

Among the procedural instruments available to the Court following theseamendments, which concern preliminary reference proceedings in particular, thereader's attention is drawn to the simplified procedure, requestsfor information,requests for clarification and the accelerated procedure.
Säledes besvarede Domstolen ved kendelse af 19. september 2000 (C-89/00,ikke offentliggjort) i Bicakci-sagenet prrejudicielt sporgsmäl om fortolkningen af en afgorelse truffet af det associeringsräd,der er oprettet vedassocieringsaftalen mellem Det Europaeiske Okonomiske Frellesskabog Tyrkiet, som var identisk med et af de sporgsmäl,som gav anledning tildommen af 10. februar i Nazli-sagen (sag C-340197, Sml. I, s. 957).

I Vogler-sagen valgte Domstolen ogsä at benytte en begrundet kendelse (af 20.10.2000,sag C-242199, endnu ikke trykt i Samling af Afgorelser) ved besvarelsen af enrrekke prrejudicielle sporgsmäl,som ikke efterlod nogen rimelig tvivl omgyldigheden og fortolkningen af visse bestemmelser i forordning (EOF) nr.1408171 om anvendelse af de socialesikringsordninger pä arbejdstagere,

I den nye affattelse af procesreglementet bestemmes det ligeledes, at den refererende dommer og/eller generaladvokaten kan forlange, at parternefremlegger enhver oplysning om sagens faktiske omstrendigheder, ethvert dokument eller andet, som de finder relevant (procesreglementets artikel 54a).Endvidere har Domstolen mulighed for at anmode den nationale ret om atuddybe sinforeleggelse (procesreglementets artikel 104, stk. 5).

Pä baggrund af de erfaringer, man har gjort, har disse rndringer ogsä medfsrten afklaringaf bestemmelsen i procesreglementet om replikkenog duplikken,säledes at det klart fremgär, at när prrsidenten i en appelsag imodekommersagsogerens begrering om tilladelse til at afgive replik, er den anden partberettiget til at svare herpä ved at indgive duplik uden fsrst at skulle opnätilladelse hertil (procesreglementets artikel 117, stk. 1).
The amendments also clarify, in the light of experience,the provision of the Rules of Procedure relating to replies and rejoinders, in order to make it clearthat, where the President grants an appellant's application to submit a reply, theother party is entitled to respondto it by todging a rejoinder without first havingto obtainleaveto do so(Article117(1) of the Rules of Procedure).
Visse aspekter af de procedurer, der kan anvendes af de retsundergivneved Frellesskabets retsinstanser, blev prreciseret i är 2000.
