Studies to assess the impact of those sites on the environment were in the process of being prepared, in accordance with the national legislation transposing Council Directive 85/337/EEC of 27 June 1985 on the assessment of the effects of certain public and private projects on the environment (OJ 1985 L 175, p. 40), and were to be completed before the end of 1994.
Studije procjene utjecaja na okoliš navedenih lokacija bile su u procesu pripreme u skladu s nacionalnim zakonodavstvom za prijenos Direktive Vijeća 85/337/EEZ od 27. lipnja 1985. o procjeni učinaka određenih javnih i privatnih projekata na okoliš (SL L 175, str. 40.) te su trebale biti dovršene do kraja 1994.
Following that procedure, the competent body could draw up the final study regarding the construction, operation, supervision and restoration of whichever of the two sites appeared the more suitable.
U skladu s tim postupkom nadležno tijelo moglo bi izraditi konačnu studiju o gradnji, stavljanju u funkciju, nadzoru i sanaciji jedne od lokacija za koju se pokaže da je prikladnija.
23 Having received no further information from the Greek Government, the Commission decided to initiate the procedure under Article 171(2) of the Treaty.
23 Budući da Komisija nije zaprimila nikakve nove informacije od grčke vlade, pokrenula je postupak na temelju članka 171. stavka 2. Ugovora.
On 21 September 1995 it called on the Greek Government to submit within two months its observations concerning its failure to comply with the judgment in Case C-45/91.
Ona je 21. rujna 1995. zatražila da joj grčka vlada u roku od dva mjeseca dostavi svoja očitovanja o neizvršenju navedene presude Komisija/Grčka.
24 By letter of 14 December 1995 the Greek Government informed the Commission that the prefectorial council for Chania had selected a waste disposal site and that the waste disposal programme would therefore be implemented.
24 Dopisom od 14. prosinca 1995. grčka je vlada obavijestila Komisiju da je vijeće prefekture Chania odabralo lokaciju za zbrinjavanje otpada te da će se stoga provesti program zbrinjavanja otpada.
25 The Commission considered that that reply clearly showed that, four years after the judgment in Case C-45/91, the Greek authorities still had not taken the necessary measures to comply with the judgment, that adoption of those measures was still only at a preliminary stage and that the waste disposal plans still could not be implemented.
25 Komisija je smatrala da iz tog odgovora jasno proizlazi da četiri godine nakon navedene presude Komisija/Grčka grčke vlasti još uvijek nisu bile poduzele mjere potrebne za njezino izvršenje, da je donošenje mjera za njezino izvršenje još uvijek bilo u preliminarnoj fazi te da se planovi ili programi zbrinjavanja otpada i dalje nisu mogli provesti.
Thus, according to the Commission, waste continued to be deposited in the Kouroupitos tip, endangering public health and harming the environment.
Zbog toga se, prema mišljenju Komisije, otpad i dalje odlagao na odlagalište Kouroupitos čime se ugrožavalo zdravlje ljudi i štetilo okolišu.
26 By reasoned opinion of 6 August 1996, the Commission found that, by failing to take the necessary measures to comply with the judgment in Case C-45/91 and, in particular, by still not having drawn up or implemented the plans necessary for the disposal of waste and toxic and dangerous waste from the area concerned without endangering human health and without harming the environment, the Hellenic Republic had failed to fulfil its obligations under the Treaty.
26 U obrazloženom mišljenju od 6. kolovoza 1996. Komisija tvrdi da je Helenska Republika povrijedila obveze iz Ugovora jer nije poduzela potrebne mjere za izvršenje navedene presude Komisija/Grčka i, posebno, jer još nije izradila niti provela planove ili programe koji su potrebni za zbrinjavanje otpada te toksičnog i opasnog otpada iz predmetnog područja i to na način koji ne ugrožava zdravlje ljudi i ne šteti okolišu.
27 The Commission called on the Hellenic Republic, in accordance with Article 171(2) of the Treaty, to take the necessary measures to comply with the reasoned opinion within two months of its notification.
27 Komisija je pozvala Helensku Republiku da u skladu s člankom 171. stavkom 2.
In addition, the Commission drew the attention of the Greek authorities to the fact that a periodic penalty payment could be imposed for failure by the Hellenic Republic to comply with the judgment in Case C-45/91, stating that it would determine the amount of the penalty payment to be claimed in the Court proceedings pursuant to Article 171(2) of the Treaty in the light of the circumstances obtaining when it brought its action.
Ugovora poduzme potrebne mjere kako bi postupila u skladu s obrazloženim mišljenjem u roku od dva mjeseca od primitka obavijesti. Nadalje, s obzirom da Helenska Republika nije postupila u skladu s navedenom presudom Komisija/Grčka, Komisija je grčkim tijelima skrenula pozornost na mogućnost nalaganja novčane kazne čiji će iznos zatražen u sudskom postupku na temelju članka 171. stavka 2. Ugovora odrediti Komisija s obzirom na okolnosti u trenutku podnošenja njezine tužbe.
28 In their reply of 11 November 1996, the Greek authorities referred to a national waste management plan, guaranteed and implemented at prefectorial and regional level, for which the necessary funds were available and committed.
28 Grčka tijela su se u svom odgovoru od 11. studenoga 1996. pozvala na nacionalni plan gospodarenja otpadom, zajamčen i proveden na lokalnoj i regionalnoj razini, za koji su potrebna sredstva raspoloživa i izdvojena.
As regards the regional waste management plan in the prefecture of Chania, the Greek authorities stated that it consisted in the implementation of an integrated management programme including:
U pogledu regionalnog plana gospodarenja otpadom u prefekturi Chania, grčke su vlasti izjavile da se on sastoji od provedbe globalnog programa gospodarenja koji uključuje:
the sorting of waste at source;
razvrstavanje otpada na izvoru;
the construction and operation of a mechanical recycling plant;
izgradnju i stavljanje u funkciju postrojenja za mehaničko recikliranje;
the provision and operation of a landfill site; and
organizaciju i stavljanje u funkciju lokacije za odlaganje otpada; i
a programme for the reinstatement and restoration of the area on account of the uncontrolled disposal of waste in the Kouroupitos tip.
program reorganizacije i sanacije predmetnog područja zbog nekontroliranog odlaganja otpada na odlagalište u Kouroupitosu.
29 With regard to the waste deposited in the Kouroupitos tip, the Greek authorities indicated that they had taken specific actions and measures of intervention dealing with the local problems in order to resolve definitively the question of that site, for which they were drawing up separate management programmes.
29 Što se tiče otpada odloženog na odlagalištu u Kouroupitosu, grčka su tijela naznačila da su poduzela konkretne radnje i interventne mjere za rješavanje lokalnih problema kako bi konačno riješile pitanje tog odlagališta za koje su izrađivala posebne programe gospodarenja.
30 As for the management of toxic and dangerous waste, especially hospital waste, the Greek authorities stated that they were implementing a series of actions and measures of intervention relating to the financing of waste management studies and works and, in particular, that the Chania prefectorial authorities had taken the steps necessary to set up a mechanical recycling plant and a landfill site.
30 Što se tiče upravljanja toksičnim i opasnim otpadom te posebno bolničkim otpadom, grčka tijela tvrde da su provodila brojne radnje i interventne mjere u pogledu financiranja studija i realizacije radova gospodarenja otpadom te posebno da su vlasti prefekture Chania poduzele potrebne korake kako bi uspostavile postrojenje za mehaničko recikliranje i lokaciju za odlaganje otpada.
According to the competent authorities, completion of that programme would settle the problem of the river Kouroupitos and resolve the problem of waste management in the Chania area.
Prema mišljenju nadležnih tijela, dovršetak tog programa riješio bi probleme Kouroupitosa te regulirao problem gospodarenja otpadom u prefekturi Chania.
31 By letter of 28 August 1997 the Greek authorities provided supplementary information concerning progress with the procedure for waste management in the prefecture of Chania.
31 Dopisom od 28. kolovoza 1997. grčka su tijela dostavila dodatne informacije o napretku postupka gospodarenja otpadom u prefekturi Chania.
They indicated in particular that preliminary approval had been granted for the location chosen for the landfill site and that the study relating to the environmental impact of the waste recycling and composting plant had been completed, as had the first stage of an international restricted tendering procedure.
Posebno su istaknula da je izdano preliminarno odobrenje za lokaciju koja je odabrana za odlaganje otpada te da je dovršena studija učinka na okoliš postrojenja za recikliranje i kompostiranje otpada, kao i prva faza međunarodnog ograničenog postupka javne nabave.
32 The Commission considered that those replies were unsatisfactory and that the measures to comply with the judgment in Case C-45/91 had still not been implemented and consequently decided to bring the present action.
32 Komisija smatra da su ti odgovori nezadovoljavajući i da mjere za izvršavanje navedene presude Komisija/Grčka još uvijek nisu provedene te je stoga odlučila podnijeti ovu tužbu.
Forms of order sought
Tužbeni zahtjevi stranaka
33 The Commission claims that the Court should declare that the Hellenic Republic has failed to fulfil its obligations under Article 171 of the Treaty, impose on it a penalty payment of EUR 24 600 for each day of delay in implementing the measures necessary to comply with the judgment in Case C-45/91 and order it to pay the costs.
33 Komisija od Suda zahtijeva da utvrdi da je Helenska Republika povrijedila obveze koje ima na temelju članka 171. Ugovora, da joj naloži plaćanje novčane kazne u iznosu od 24 600 eura po danu zakašnjenja u provedbi potrebnih mjera za usklađivanje s navedenom presudom Komisija/Grčka te joj naloži plaćanje troškova.
34 By order of the President of the Court of 29 September 1998, the United Kingdom was granted leave to intervene in support of the form of order sought by the Commission.
34 Rješenjem predsjednika Suda od 29. rujna 1998. Ujedinjenoj Kraljevini odobrena je intervencija u prilog tužbenom zahtjevu Komisije.
However, it has not filed pleadings.
Međutim, ona nije podnijela tužbeni zahtjev.
35 The Greek Government claims that the Court should declare the action inadmissible or dismiss it as unfounded and order the Commission to pay the costs.
35 Grčka vlada zahtijeva da Sud prvenstveno tužbu proglasi nedopuštenom ili je odbije kao neosnovanu i da Komisiji naloži snošenje troškova.
In the alternative, it contends that the Court should set the penalty payment on the basis of coefficients of seriousness and duration which are more favourable to the Hellenic Republic than those applied by the Commission, taking account of the high degree of compliance with the judgment in Case C-45/91 achieved by the Hellenic Republic.
Podredno, ona zahtijeva od Suda da odredi novčanu kaznu na temelju koeficijenata težine i trajanja povrede koji su za Helensku Republiku povoljniji od onih koje je zatražila Komisija i uzimajući u obzir visoki stupanj usklađenosti s gore navedenom presudom Komisija/Grčka koji je Helenska Republika ostvarila.
36 Relying on the judgments in Case 14/81 Alpha Steel v Commission [1982] ECR 749, at paragraph 28, and in Case C-331/88 Fedesa and Others [1990] ECR I-4023, at paragraph 42, the Opinion of Advocate General Fennelly in Case C-334/94 Commission v France [1996] ECR I-1307 and some of the legal literature, the Greek Government maintains that the action is inadmissible on the ground that Article 171(2) of the Treaty, which results from the Treaty on European Union, entered into force on 1 November 1993, after the initiation of the infringement procedure based on Article 171 of the Treaty for failure to comply with the judgment in Case C-45/91.
36 Oslanjajući se na presudu od 3. ožujka 1982., Alpha Steel/Komisija, 14/81, Zb., str. 749., točku 28. i presudu od 13. studenoga 1990., Fedesa i dr., C-331/88, Zb., str. I-4023., točku 42., na mišljenje nezavisnog odvjetnika Fennellya u presudi Komisija/Francuska (presuda od 7. ožujka 1996., C-334/94, Zb., str. I-1307.) i pravnu teoriju, grčka vlada smatra da je tužba nedopuštena na temelju članka 171. stavka 2. Ugovora koji proizlazi iz Ugovora o Europskoj uniji, koji je stupio na snagu 1. studenoga 1993. nakon što je pokrenut postupak zbog povrede obveze na temelju članka 171. Ugovora zbog neizvršenja presude Komisija/Grčka.
37 In its submission, Article 171(2) of the Treaty provides for the imposition of very severe penalties on the Member States and is therefore a stricter and more onerous rule which in principle cannot be applied retroactively.
37 Članak 171. stavak 2. Ugovora predviđa nalaganje vrlo strogih kazni državama članicama te stoga predstavlja strože i restriktivnije pravilo koje se u načelu ne može retroaktivno primjenjivati.
38 The Greek Government states that the infringement procedure for failure to comply with the judgment in Case C-45/91 began on 11 October 1993 when the Commission, having received no information regarding compliance with that judgment, wrote to the Greek authorities reminding them that the Court had found against the Hellenic Republic and setting a time-limit for communication by them of the measures taken to comply with the Court's ruling.
38 Postupak zbog neizvršavanja navedene presude Komisija/Grčka počeo je 11. listopada 1993. kada se Komisija, nakon što nije zaprimila informacije o izvršenju predmetne presude, obratila grčkim tijelima podsjećajući ih na kaznu Helenskoj Republici sadržanu u toj presudi i odredivši rok u kojem one Sudu trebaju dostaviti obavijest o poduzetim mjerama za postupanje u skladu s tom presudom.
39 The Greek Government argues that, although it relates to the future and not to the past and does not apply retroactively, the fine contains retroactive elements.
39 Grčka vlada tvrdi da, iako se odnosi na budućnost, a ne na prošlost, te se ne primjenjuje retroaktivno, kazna sadrži retroaktivne elemente.
The procedure under Article 171(2) of the Treaty essentially involves consideration of the past and the fine is calculated on the basis of factors and criteria referring to acts carried out in the past.
Postupak na temelju članka 171. stavka 2. Ugovora u biti podrazumijeva da se prošlost uzima u obzir a kazna se izračunava na temelju elemenata i kriterija koji se odnose na postupke iz prošlosti.
The Commission seeks to penalise past conduct while pursuing the longer-term objective of avoiding future reoffending by the undisciplined Member State.
Komisija pokušava kažnjavanjem prošlih postupaka ostvariti dugoročni cilj, a to je da u slučaju „nedisciplinirane" države članice u budućnosti ne dođe do „recidiva".
40 The Commission contends that Article 171(2) of the Treaty is not being applied retroactively.
40 Komisija odgovara da se članak 171. stavak 2. Ugovora ne primjenjuje retroaktivno.
The present action can be distinguished from Commission v France, cited above, since here all the stages of the infringement procedure have taken place after the Treaty on European Union entered into force.
Ova se tužba razlikuje od prije navedenog predmeta Komisija/Francuska, budući da su se u ovom slučaju sve faze postupka pokrenutog zbog povrede obveze odvijale nakon što je stupio na snagu Ugovor o Europskoj uniji.
41 Nor are the penalties being applied retroactively.
41 Kazne se također ne primjenjuju retroaktivno.
The penalty payment proposed by the Commission cannot be considered to be a penal sanction, because it is imposed to influence future conduct.
Novčana kazna koju je Komisija predložila ne može se smatrati kaznenom sankcijom jer je naložena kako bi utjecala na buduće ponašanje.
42 On this issue, it is sufficient to note, first, that all the stages of the pre-litigation procedure, including the letter of formal notice of 21 September 1995, occurred after the Treaty on European Union entered into force.
42 U tom je pogledu, kao prvo, dovoljno napomenuti da su se sve faze predsudskog postupka, a posebno pismo opomene od 21. rujna 1995., odvijale prije nego što je Ugovor o Europskoj uniji stupio na snagu.
The letter of 11 October 1993 to which the Greek Government refers does not form part of that procedure.
U stvari, dopis od 11. listopada 1993. na koji se poziva grčka vlada nije dio navedenog postupka.
Second, the argument put forward by the Greek Government concerning the relevance, when setting the penalty payment, of factors and criteria relating to the past is indissociable from consideration of the substance of the case, in particular as regards the object of penalty payments under Article 171(2) of the Treaty.
Drugo, argument koji je istaknula grčka vlada u pogledu uzimanja u obzir elemenata i kriterija koji se odnose na prošlost kod određivanja novčane kazne podudara se u biti s ispitivanjem merituma spora, a posebno cilja kazne iz članka 171. stavka 2. Ugovora.
43 Accordingly, the plea of inadmissibility raised by the Greek Government must be rejected.
43 U tim okolnostima valja odbiti prigovor nedopuštenosti koji je podnijela grčka vlada.
44 A preliminary point to be considered is whether the obligations which the Hellenic Republic owed under Articles 4 and 6 of Directive 75/442 and Articles 5 and 12 of Directive 78/319 still apply as Community law now stands.
44 Najprije valja razmotriti postoje li još uvijek obveze Helenske Republike na temelju članaka 4. i 6. Direktive 75/442 i članaka 5. i 12. Direktive 78/319 s obzirom na trenutačno stanje prava Zajednice.
45 Directive 75/442 was substantially amended by Council Directive 91/156/EEC of 18 March 1991 (OJ 1991 L 78, p. 32).
45 U tom pogledu valja napomenuti da je Direktiva 75/442 znatno izmijenjena Direktivom Vijeća 91/156/EEZ od 18. ožujka 1991. (SL L 78, str. 32.).
The effect of Article 1 of Directive 91/156 is that Articles 1 to 12 of Directive 75/442 have been replaced by Articles 1 to 18 and three annexes have been added.
Iz članka 1. Direktive 91/156 u stvari proizlazi da su članci 1. do 12. Direktive 75/442 zamijenjeni člancima 1. do 18. te da su dodana tri priloga.
46 Directive 78/319 was repealed with effect from 12 December 1993 and replaced by Council Directive 91/689/EEC of 12 December 1991 on hazardous waste (OJ 1993 L 377, p. 20).
46 Direktiva 78/319 stavljena je izvan snage s učinkom od 12. prosinca 1993. i zamijenjena Direktivom Vijeća 91/689/EEZ od 12. prosinca 1991. o opasnom otpadu (SL L 377, str. 20.).
Council Directive 94/31/EC of 27 June 1994 amending Directive 91/689 (OJ 1994 L 168, p. 28) postponed the repeal of Directive 78/319 to 27 June 1995.
Direktivom Vijeća 94/31/EZ od 27. lipnja 1994. o izmjeni Direktive 91/689 (SL L 168, str. 28.) odgođeno je stavljanje izvan snage Direktive 78/319 do 27. lipnja 1995.
47 Comparative study of the abovementioned provisions shows that the amended directive tightened up certain provisions of Directive 75/442 (Case C-365/97 Commission v Italy [1999] ECR I-7773, paragraph 37).
47 Iz usporednog ispitivanja navedenih odredbi proizlazi da je Direktiva 75/442, kako je izmijenjena, postrožila određene odredbe Direktive 75/442 (presuda od 9. studenoga 1999., Komisija/Italija, C-365/96, Zb., str. I-7773., t. 37.).
Thus, the obligations imposed on the Member States by Article 4 of Directive 75/442 remain applicable by virtue of the first paragraph of Article 4 of the amended directive (Commission v Italy, paragraph 61).
Zbog toga se obveze država članica predviđene člankom 4. Direktive 75/442 i dalje primjenjuju na temelju članka 4. stavka 1. Direktive 75/442, kako je izmijenjena (gore navedena presuda od 9. studenoga 1999., Komisija/Italija, t. 61.)
The obligation laid down in Article 6 of Directive 75/442 to draw up waste disposal plans corresponds now to the obligation under Article 7 of the amended directive to draw up waste management plans.
Obveza predviđena člankom 6. Direktive 75/442 o izradi planova zbrinjavanja otpada sada odgovara obvezi iz članka 7. Direktive 75/442, kako je izmijenjena, o izradi planova gospodarenja otpadom.
48 Similarly, the obligations imposed on the Member States by Article 5 of Directive 78/319 are retained by virtue of Article 4 of Directive 75/442, as amended.
48 Na sličan način, obveze država članica predviđene člankom 5. Direktive 78/319 zadržavaju se na temelju članka 4. Direktive 75/442, kako je izmijenjena.
First, the obligation under Article 5(1) of Directive 78/319 to dispose of toxic and dangerous waste without endangering human health or harming the environment now appears in the first paragraph of Article 4 of Directive 75/442, as amended, that directive having been rendered applicable to hazardous waste by Article 1(2) of Directive 91/689.
Prvo, obveza zbrinjavanja toksičnog i opasnog otpada na način koji ne ugrožava zdravlje ljudi i ne šteti okolišu, koja proizlazi iz članka 5. stavka 1. Direktive 78/319, sada se pojavljuje u članku 4. stavku 1. Direktive 75/442, kako je izmijenjena, koja se primjenjuje na opasni otpad na temelju članka 1. stavka 2. Direktive 91/689.
49 Second, Article 5(2) of Directive 78/319 imposed a specific obligation on the Member States to take the necessary steps to prohibit the abandonment and uncontrolled discharge, tipping or carriage of toxic and dangerous waste, as well as its consignment to installations, establishments or undertakings other than those referred to in Article 9(1) of the directive.
49 Kao drugo, članak 5. stavak 2. Direktive 78/319 predviđa preciznu obvezu prema kojoj države članice trebaju poduzeti mjere potrebne za zabranu ostavljanja, nekontroliranog odlaganja ili prijevoza toksičnog i opasnog otpada, kao i pohranjivanje otpada u postrojenjima, ustanovama ili poduzećima koja nisu ona predviđena u članku 9. stavku 1. te direktive.
That obligation now appears in the second paragraph of Article 4 of Directive 75/442, as amended.
Ta se obveza sada pojavljuje u članku 4. stavku 2. Direktive 75/442, kako je izmijenjena.
50 As regards the obligation laid down in Article 12 of Directive 78/319 to draw up, and keep up to date, plans for the disposal of toxic and dangerous waste, that obligation corresponds to the obligation to draw up plans for the management of hazardous waste, imposed by Article 6(1) of Directive 91/689.
50 S obzirom na obvezu izrade i ažuriranja planova zbrinjavanja toksičnog i opasnog otpada predviđenu člankom 12. Direktive 78/319, ta obveza odgovara obvezi izrade planova gospodarenja opasnim otpadom predviđenoj člankom 6. stavkom 1. Direktive 91/689.
51 It follows from the foregoing that the obligations owed by the Hellenic Republic under Articles 4 and 6 of Directive 75/442 and Articles 5 and 12 of Directive 78/319 still apply as Community law now stands.
51 Iz gore navedenog proizlazi da se obveze Helenske Republike na temelju članaka 4. i 6. Direktive 75/442 i članaka 5. i 12. Direktive 78/319 još uvijek primjenjuju s obzirom na trenutačno stanje prava Zajednice.
Scope of the obligations found not to have been fulfilled in the judgment in Case C-45/91
Opseg obveza za koje je utvrđena povreda u presudi C-45/91
52 The Commission maintains that the Hellenic Republic would have satisfied its obligation under Article 171 of the Treaty to comply with the judgment in Case C-45/91 had it drawn up and implemented the plans prescribed by Article 6 of Directive 75/442 and Article 12 of Directive 78/319.
52 Komisija smatra da bi Helenska Republika bila ispunila obvezu izvršenja navedene presude Komisija/Grčka iz članka 171. Ugovora da je izradila i provela planove i programe propisane člankom 6. Direktive 75/442 i člankom 12. Direktive 78/319.
