58 It may also be noted that the judgment of the Corte d'appello di Roma, the authority of which as a final judgment is invoked, does not, to any greater extent than the judgment of the Tribunale civile e penale di Roma, expressly rule on the compatibility of the State aid sought by Lucchini with Community law or the lawfulness Decision 90/555.
58 U tom pogledu, može se također zaključiti da se u presudi koju je donio Corte d'appello di Roma, na čiju se pravomoćnost poziva, kao ni u presudi Tribunale civile e penale di Roma, ne odlučuje izričito o spojivosti državnih potpora koje je zahtijevalo društvo Lucchini sa zajedničkim tržištem, ni o valjanosti Odluke 90/555.
The application of Article 2909 of the Italian Civil Code
Primjena članka 2909. talijanskoga Građanskog zakonika
59 According to the national court, Article 2909 of the Italian Civil Code precludes not only the reopening, in a second set of proceedings, of pleas in law which have already been expressly and definitively determined but also precludes the examination of matters which could have been raised in earlier proceedings but were not.
59 Prema nacionalnom sudu, članku 2909. talijanskoga Građanskog zakonika protivno je ne samo ponovno otvaranje, u drugom postupku, tužbenih razloga koji su već izričito i konačno utvrđeni, već i razmatranje pitanja koja su mogla biti postavljena u okviru prethodnog postupka, a to nije učinjeno.
One of the consequences of such an interpretation of that provision may be that effects are attributed to a decision of a national court which exceed the limits of the jurisdiction of the court in question as laid down in Community law.
Jedna od posljedica takvog tumačenja te odredbe jest pripisivanje odluci nacionalnog suda učinaka koji prelaze granice nadležnosti predmetnog suda kako proizlaze iz prava Zajednice.
It is clear, as the Consiglio di Stato has observed, that the effect of applying that provision, interpreted in such a manner, in the present case would be to frustrate the application of Community law in so far as it would make it impossible to recover State aid that was granted in breach of Community law.
Jasno je, kako je naveo sud koji je uputio zahtjev, da bi primjena te odredbe tumačena na taj način spriječila primjenu prava Zajednice budući da bi onemogućila povrat državne potpore dodijeljene protivno pravu Zajednice.
60 In that context, it should be noted that it is for the national courts to interpret, as far as it is possible, the provisions of national law in such a way that they can be applied in a manner which contributes to the implementation of Community law.
60 U tom kontekstu, valja podsjetiti da je na nacionalnim sudovima da tumače odredbe nacionalnog prava koliko je god to moguće na takav način da ih se može primijeniti tako da doprinose provedbi prava Zajednice.
61 It also follows from settled case-law that a national court which is called upon, within the exercise of its jurisdiction, to apply provisions of Community law is under a duty to give full effect to those provisions, if necessary refusing of its own motion to apply any conflicting provision of national legislation (see, inter alia, Case 106/77 Simmenthal [1978] ECR 629, paragraphs 21 to 24; Case 130/78 Salumificio di Cornuda [1979] ECR 867, paragraphs 23 to 27; and Case C-213/89 Factortame and Others [1990] ECR I-2433, paragraphs 19 to 21).
61 Iz ustaljene sudske prakse proizlazi i da je nacionalni sud koji u okviru svoje nadležnosti mora primijeniti odredbe prava Zajednice ima dužnost osigurati puni učinak tih pravnih pravila izuzimajući po potrebi od primjene, na temelju samostalne ovlasti, svaku suprotnu odredbu nacionalnog prava (vidjeti osobito presude od 9. ožujka 1978., Simmenthal, 106/77, Zb., str. 629., t. 21. do 24.; od 8. ožujka 1979., Salumificio di Cornuda, 130/78, Zb., str. 867., t. od 23. do 27.; i od 19. lipnja 1990., Factortame i dr., C-213/89, Zb., str. I-2433., t. od 19. do 21.).
62 As stated at paragraph 52 above, the assessment of the compatibility of aid measures or of an aid scheme with the common market falls within the exclusive competence of the Commission, subject to review by the Community Courts.
62 Kako je utvrđeno u točki 52. ove presude, ocjena spojivosti mjera potpore ili sustava potpora sa zajedničkim tržištem u isključivoj je nadležnosti Komisije, podložno nadzoru suca Zajednice.
That rule applies within the national legal order as a result of the principle of the primacy of Community law.
To se pravilo primjenjuje u okviru nacionalnog pravnog poretka zbog načela nadređenosti prava Zajednice.
63 The answer to the questions referred must therefore be that Community law precludes the application of a provision of national law, such as Article 2909 of the Italian Civil Code, which seeks to lay down the principle of res judicata in so far as the application of that provision prevents the recovery of State aid granted in breach of Community law which has been found to be incompatible with the common market in a decision of the Commission which has become final.
63 Stoga na postavljena pitanja valja odgovoriti da je pravu Zajednice protivna primjena odredbe nacionalnog prava, kao što je članak 2909. talijanskoga Građanskog zakonika, kojom se utvrđuje načelo pravomoćnosti, utoliko što se primjenom te odredbe sprječava povrat državne potpore koja je bila dodijeljena povredom prava Zajednice i čija je nespojivost s unutarnjim tržištem bila utvrđena u odluci Europske komisije koja je postala pravomoćna.
On those grounds, the Court (Grand Chamber) hereby rules:
Slijedom navedenoga, Sud (veliko vijeće) odlučuje:
Community law precludes the application of a provision of national law, such as Article 2909 of the Italian Codice Civile (Civil Code), which seeks to lay down the principle of res judicata in so far as the application of that provision prevents the recovery of State aid granted in breach of Community law which has been found to be incompatible with the common market in a decision of the Commission of the European Communities which has become final.
Pravu Zajednice protivna je primjena odredbe nacionalnog prava, kao što je članak 2909. talijanskoga Građanskog zakonika (codice civile), kojom se utvrđuje načelo pravomoćnosti, utoliko što se primjenom te odredbe sprječava povrat državne potpore koja je bila dodijeljena povredom prava Zajednice i čija je nespojivost s unutarnjim tržištem bila utvrđena u odluci Europske komisije koja je postala pravomoćna.

1 The references for a preliminary ruling concern, first, the interpretation of Community law as regards the power of a national court to consider of its own motion the compatibility of an administrative measure with Council Directive 85/511/EEC of 18 November 1985 introducing Community measures for the control of foot-and-mouth disease (OJ 1985 L 315, p. 11), as amended by Council Directive 90/423/EEC of 26 June 1990 (OJ 1990 L 224, p. 13), (`Directive 85/511') and, secondly, the interpretation of that directive.
1 Zahtjevi za prethodnu odluku odnose se, kao prvo, na tumačenje prava Zajednice u pogledu ovlasti nacionalnog suda da po službenoj dužnosti ocijeni usklađenost upravne mjere s Direktivom Vijeća 85/511/EEZ od 18. studenoga 1985. o uvođenju mjera Zajednice za suzbijanje slinavke i šapa (SL L 315, str. 11.), kako je izmijenjena Direktivom Vijeća 90/423/EEZ od 26. lipnja 1990. (SL L 224, str. 13.) (SL, posebno izdanje na hrvatskom jeziku 2013., poglavlje 3., svezak 32., str. 29.), (u daljnjem tekstu: Direktiva 85/511) i, kao drugo, na tumačenje te direktive.

3 Directive 85/511 lays down Community measures for controlling foot-and-mouth disease.
3 Direktivom 85/511 utvrđuju se mjere Zajednice za suzbijanje slinavke i šapa.
Article 4 of the directive requires Member States to ensure inter alia that, where a holding contains one or more animals suspected of being infected or of being contaminated with foot-and-mouth disease, official means of investigation to confirm or rule out the presence of the disease are set in motion immediately and, in particular, that the official veterinarian takes the necessary samples, or has them taken, for laboratory examination.
Člankom 4. te direktive zahtijeva se od država članica da između ostalog osiguraju da se, ako se na gospodarstvu nalazi jedna ili više životinja za koje se sumnja da su zaražene ili kontaminirane slinavkom i šapom, smjesta poduzmu službene istražne mjere kako bi se potvrdila ili odbacila prisutnost bolesti, a posebno da službeni veterinar uzme potrebne uzorke ili naloži njihovo uzimanje za laboratorijski pregled.
4 In addition, Article 5 of the directive provides that as soon as it has been confirmed that one or more infected animals are on a holding, the competent authority is to introduce the measures laid down in that article, in particular the measure which requires that all animals of susceptible species on the holding are to be slaughtered on the spot under official supervision in such a way as to avoid all risk of spreading the foot-and-mouth virus.
4 Osim toga, člankom 5. te direktive predviđa se da, čim se potvrdi prisutnost jedne ili više zaraženih životinja na gospodarstvu, nadležno tijelo treba donijeti mjere navedene u tome članku, a posebno mjeru kojom se zahtijeva da se sve životinje prijemljivih vrsta na gospodarstvu zakolju na licu mjesta pod službenim nadzorom na takav način da se izbjegne svaka opasnost širenja virusa slinavke i šapa.
5 Article 11(1) and Article 13(1) of the directive state that Member States are to ensure that laboratory testing to detect the presence of foot-and-mouth disease and the manipulation of foot-and-mouth virus for research, diagnosis and/or manufacture of vaccines are carried out only in approved establishments and laboratories listed in the annex to the directive.
5 U članku 11. stavku 1. i članku 13. stavku 1. te direktive navodi se da države članice moraju osigurati da se laboratorijska ispitivanja s ciljem otkrivanja prisutnosti slinavke i šapa te postupanje s virusom slinavke i šapa u istraživačke svrhe, za dijagnostiku i/ili proizvodnju cjepiva provode samo u odobrenim objektima i laboratorijima navedenima u prilogu toj direktivi.
6 At the time of the facts in the main proceedings, Annex B to Directive 85/511, entitled `National laboratories dealing with foot-and-mouth disease', referred, under the heading `Netherlands', to the `Centraal Diergeneeskundig Instituut, Lelystad'.
6 U vrijeme nastanka činjenica o kojima se raspravlja u glavnom postupku, u Prilogu B Direktivi 85/511 naslovljenom „Nacionalni laboratoriji ovlašteni za rukovanje živim virusom slinavke i šapa", u rubrici „Nizozemska" naveden je „Centraal Diergeneeskundig Instituut, Lelystad".
7 Article 8:69 of the General Law on administrative law (Algemene Wet Bestuursrecht) provides:
7 Člankom 8:69. Općeg zakona o upravnosudskom postupku (Algemene Wet Bestuursrecht) predviđa se sljedeće:
The court before which proceedings are brought shall give its ruling on the basis of the application, the documents produced, the preliminary investigation and the consideration of the case at the hearing.
Sud pred kojim se pokreće postupak donosi odluku na temelju tužbe, predočenih isprava, prethodne istrage i razmatranja predmeta na raspravi.
2. The court shall supplement the pleas in law of its own motion.
2. Sud nadopunjuje tužbene razloge po službenoj dužnosti.
3. The court may supplement the facts of its own motion.'
3. Sud može činjenice nadopuniti po službenoj dužnosti."
8 That provision is applicable to the procedures followed before the College van Beroep voor het bedrijfsleven (Administrative court for trade and industry) by virtue of Article 19(1) of the Law on appeals in administrative matters (Wet rechtspraak bedrijfsorganisatie).
8 Ta se odredba primjenjuje na postupke koji se provode pred College van Beroep voor het bedrijfsleven (Upravnim sudom za trgovinu i industriju) na temelju članka 19. stavka 1. Zakona o žalbama u upravnim stvarima (Wet rechtspraak bedrijfsorganisatie).
The dispute in the main proceedings and the questions referred for a preliminary ruling 9 In February 2001, an epidemic of foot-and-mouth disease was declared in the Netherlands.
Glavni postupak i prethodna pitanja 9 U veljači 2001. u Nizozemskoj je proglašena epidemija slinavke i šapa.
At that time, the appellants in the main proceedings were in charge of cattle-breeding holdings in which biungulate animals were kept.
U to su vrijeme tužitelji u glavnom postupku vodili stočarska gospodarstva na kojima su držali papkare.
Their holdings were situated less than two kilometres from the holdings which had been declared to be infected by foot-and-mouth disease by the Director of the Rijksdienst voor de keuring van Vee en Vlees (national cattle and meat inspection service) (`the RVV').
Njihova su gospodarstva bila smještena manje od dva kilometra od gospodarstava koja je ravnatelj Rijksdienst voor de keuring van Vee en Vlees (nacionalne inspekcijske službe za stoku i meso) (u daljnjem tekstu: RVV) proglasio zaraženima slinavkom i šapom.
The latter had relied in that regards on the result of tests carried out by the ID-Lelystad BV laboratory (`ID-Lelystad'), which had been communicated by facsimile and according to which the samples taken in the infected holdings had been found to be positive.
Potonji se u tom pogledu oslonio na rezultate ispitivanja koja je proveo laboratorij ID-Lelystad BV (u daljnjem tekstu: ID-Lelystad), a koji su priopćeni faksimilom i prema kojima je utvrđeno da su uzorci uzeti na zaraženim gospodarstvima pozitivni.
10 Following that finding of foot-and-mouth disease, the Director of the RVV took decisions concerning the appellants in the main proceedings, in terms of which all biungulate animals on their holdings were to be treated as under suspicion of being infected by foot-and-mouth disease, on the ground that, since a case of foot-and-mouth disease had been ascertained in the vicinity of their holdings, the possibility could not be ruled out that the animals on those holdings might have been infected by that disease.
10 Na osnovi tog utvrđivanja slinavke i šapa, ravnatelj RVV-a je u pogledu tužitelja u glavnom postupku donio odluke u smislu kojih je trebalo smatrati da postoji sumnja da su svi papkari na njihovim gospodarstvima zaraženi slinavkom i šapom, uz obrazloženje da je slučaj slinavke i šapa potvrđen u blizini njihovih gospodarstava te stoga nije bilo moguće isključiti mogućnost da su i životinje na tim gospodarstvima zaražene tom bolešću.
11 By the same decisions, the Director of the RVV informed the appellants in the main proceedings of a number of measures designed to control the foot-and-mouth virus and to prevent it from spreading, including the vaccination, followed by the slaughter, of all biungulate animals on their holdings.
11 Istim je odlukama ravnatelj RVV-a izvijestio tužitelje u glavnom postupku o nizu mjera osmišljenih u svrhu suzbijanja virusa slinavke i šapa i sprečavanja njegova širenja, uključujući cijepljenje, nakon čega slijedi klanje svih papkara na njihovim gospodarstvima.
Accordingly, those animals were vaccinated and then slaughtered.
U skladu s time te su životinje cijepljene i potom zaklane.
12 After having lodged objections to those decisions with the Director of the RVV, who rejected them as unfounded, the appellants in the main proceedings brought proceedings before the national court challenging the decisions taken by the Director against them.
12 Nakon što su uložili prigovore na navedene odluke ravnatelju RVV-a, koji ih je odbio kao neutemeljene, tužitelji u glavnom postupku pokrenuli su pred sudom koji je uputio zahtjev postupak protiv nepovoljnih odluka koje je donio ravnatelj.
13 For the purposes of contesting the validity of the statement that foot-and-mouth disease was suspected and, accordingly, the decisions of the Director of the RVV, the appellants in the main proceedings have put forward pleas in law claiming, in particular, that the authorities misinterpreted the definition of `animal suspected of being infected', the clinical signs of the presence of foot-and-mouth disease and the procedures applying when blood samples are taken.
13 U svrhu osporavanja zakonitosti tvrdnje da je postojala sumnja na slinavku i šap te u skladu s time i odlukâ ravnatelja RVV-a, tužitelji u glavnom postupku istaknuli su tužbene razloge, tvrdeći osobito da su tijela pogrešno protumačila definiciju „životinje za koju se sumnja da je zaražena", kliničke znakove prisutnosti slinavke i šapa te postupke koji se primjenjuju pri uzimanju uzoraka krvi.
14 The national court rejected all of those pleas.
14 Sud koji je uputio zahtjev odbio je sve te razloge.
However, it pointed out that, in the related cases before it which gave rise to the judgment of the Court in Case C-28/05 Dokter and Others [2006] ECR I-5431, the validity of similar decisions had been challenged on the basis of different pleas in law, which had not been raised by the appellants in the main proceedings.
Naglasio je, međutim, da je u povezanim predmetima koji su pred njim pokrenuti, a koji su doveli do presude Suda od 15. lipnja 2006., Dokter i dr. (C-28/05, Zb., str. I-5431.), zakonitost usporedivih odluka osporena na temelju drukčijih tužbenih razloga koje tužitelji u glavnom postupku nisu naveli.
15 Those pleas in law had claimed that the Director of the RVV was not entitled to take measures to control foot-and-mouth disease based on the result of tests carried out by ID-Lelystad, because the latter had not been authorised by Directive 85/511 to carry them out.
15 U tim se tužbenim razlozima tvrdilo da ravnatelj RVV-a nema pravo poduzimati mjere suzbijanja slinavke i šapa na osnovi rezultata ispitivanja koje je proveo ID-Lelystad jer taj laboratorij nije Direktivom 85/511 bio ovlašten za njihovo provođenje.
Moreover, the Director was not entitled to base measures to control foot-and-mouth disease solely on the content of the facsimile sent by ID-Lelystad intimating the results of the laboratory testing.
Osim toga, ravnatelj nije imao pravo temeljiti mjere za suzbijanje slinavke i šapa samo na sadržaju faksimila koji je dobio od ID-Lelystada, a u kojem su priopćeni rezultati laboratorijskog ispitivanja.
He ought to have asked for the file drawn up by the laboratory to be sent to him, have studied it and verified whether the tests had been correctly carried out.
Trebao je zatražiti da mu se pošalje dokument koji je sastavio laboratorij, proučiti ga i provjeriti jesu li ispitivanja ispravno provedena.
16 The College van Beroep voor het bedrijfsleven held that those pleas in law could also have an influence on the resolution of the current disputes in the main proceedings.
16 College van Beroep voor het bedrijfsleven utvrdio je da bi ti tužbeni razlozi mogli utjecati i na rješavanje predmetnih sporova u glavnom postupku.
However, because those pleas were not raised before it, the national rules of procedure prevent their being taken into account.
Međutim, kako ti razlozi nisu izneseni pred navedenim sudom, nacionalna postupovna pravila sprečavaju da ih se uzme u obzir.
Article 8:69 of the General Law on administrative judicial procedure provides that the court is to give its ruling solely on the basis of the issues which are put before it.
Člankom 8:69. Općeg zakona o upravnosudskom postupku predviđa se da sud mora donijeti odluku isključivo na osnovi pitanja iz spora koja su mu iznesena.
