Paragraph 1(4) of the Law on the protection of young persons (Jugendschutzgesetz) of 23 July 2002 (BGBl. 2002 I, p.
V členu 1(4) zakona o varstvu mladoletnikov (Jugendschutzgesetz) z dne 23. julija 2002 (BGBl. 2002 I, str.
2730) defines sale by mail order as ‘any transaction for consideration carried out by means of the ordering and dispatch of a product by postal or electronic means without personal contact between the supplier and the purchaser or without technical or other safeguards to ensure that the product is not dispatched to children or adolescents’.
2730) je prodaja po po�ti opredeljena kot „vsak odplačni posel, opravljen z naročilom in dobavo blaga po po�ti ali elektronsko brez osebnega stika med dobaviteljem in kupcem ali brez zagotovila, da bo s tehničnimi ali z drugačnimi re�itvami preprečeno, da bi bila po�iljka izročena otrokom ali mladostnikom“.
Paragraph 12(1) of the Law on the protection of young persons provides that prerecorded video cassettes and other image storage media programmed with films or games to be reproduced or played on a screen (picture carriers) may be made publicly accessible to a child or adolescent only if the programmes have been authorised for that person’s age range and labelled by the highest authority of the Land or by a

Paragraph 12(3) of the Law provides that ‘image storage media which have not been labelled or have been labelled “Not suitable for young persons” under Paragraph 14(2) by the highest authority of the Land or by a voluntary selfregulation body under the procedure described in Paragraph 14(6), or which have not been labelled by the supplier in accordance with Paragraph 14(7), may not:
Člen 12(3) zakona o varstvu mladoletnikov določa, da „nosilci slike, ki jih vrhovni deželni organ ali organizacija prostovoljnega samourejanja v okviru postopka iz člena 14(6) ni opremil z oznako, ali jih je opremil z oznako ‚mladoletnikom prepovedano‘ v skladu s členom 14(2) oziroma jih ni označil dobavitelj v skladu s členom 14(7), ne smejo:

1. biti ponujeni, prodani ali kakor koli dostopni otroku ali mladostniku;
2. be offered or transferred in retail trade outside of commercial premises, in kiosks or in other sales outlets which customers do not usually enter, or by mail order.’
2. biti ponujani ali prodajani v trgovini na drobno zunaj trgovskih prostorov, v kioskih ali na drugih prodajnih mestih, v katerih prostore stranke običajno ne vstopijo, ali po po�ti“.
Avides Media sells video and audio media by mail order via its internet site and an electronic trading platform.
Družba Avides Media prodaja nosilce zvoka in slike po po�ti na svoji spletni strani in s tehnologijo, ki podpira elektronsko trgovino.
The dispute in the main proceedings concerns the importation by that company of Japanese cartoons called ‘Animes’ in DVD or video cassette format from the United Kingdom to Germany.
Spor o glavni stvari se nana�a na japonske risane filme, imenovane „anime“, na DVD-ju ali na videokaseti, ki jih je ta družba uvažala iz Združenega kraljestva v Nemčijo. Pred uvozom jih je preizkusila British Board of Film Classification (britanska komisija za razvrstitev filmov, v nadaljevanju: BBFC).
The latter checked the audience targeted by the image storage media by applying the provisions relating to the protection of young persons in force in the United Kingdom and classified them in the category ‘suitable only for 15 years and over’.
Navedeni organ je ob upo�tevanju v Združenem kraljestvu veljavnih določb o varstvu mladoletnikov preveril, za katero občinstvo so ti nosilci slike primerni, in jih uvrstil v skupino „prepovedano osebam, mlaj�im od petnajst let“.
The image storage media bear a BBFC label stating that they may be viewed only by adolescents aged 15 years or older.
Ti nosilci slike so opremljeni z nalepko BBFC, na kateri je označeno, da jih lahko gledajo mladostniki, stari 15 let ali več.
Dynamic Medien, a competitor of Avides Media, brought proceedings for interim relief before the Landgericht (Regional Court) Koblenz (Germany) with a view to prohibiting Avides Media from selling such image storage media by mail order.
Družba Dynamic Medien, ki je konkurentka družbe Avides Media, je pri Landgericht Koblenz začela postopek za izdajo začasne odredbe, da bi se družbi Avides Media prepovedala prodaja teh nosilcev slike po po�ti.
Dynamic Medien submits that the Law on the protection of young persons prohibits the sale by mail order of image storage media which have not been examined in Germany in accordance with that Law, and which do not bear an age-limit label corresponding to a classification decision from a higher regional authority or a national selfregulation body (‘competent authority’).
Navedla je, da je z zakonom o varstvu mladoletnikov prepovedana prodaja po po�ti nosilcev slike, ki v Nemčiji niso bili predmet preizkusa na podlagi tega zakona in na njih ni navedbe, od katere starosti dalje jih je dovoljeno gledati, ki bi izhajala iz sklepa o razvrstitvi vrhovnega deželnega organa ali nacionalne organizacije prostovoljnega samourejanja (v nadaljevanju: pristojni organ).
By decision of 8 June 2004, the Landgericht Koblenz held that mail order sales of image storage media bearing only an age-limit label from the BBFC is contrary to the provisions of the Law on the protection of young persons and constitutes anticompetitive conduct.
Navedeno sodi�če je z odločbo z dne 8. junija 2004 ugotovilo, da je prodaja po po�ti nosilcev slike, opremljenih le z oznako BBFC o starostni omejitvi, v nasprotju z določbami zakona o varstvu mladoletnikov in da pomeni protikonkurenčno ravnanje. Oberlandesgericht Koblenz je 21. decembra 2004 to odločbo potrdilo.
The Landgericht Koblenz, called to rule on the merits of the dispute and unsure whether the prohibition provided for by the Law on the protection of young persons complied with the provisions of Article 28 EC and Directive 2000/31, decided to stay the proceedings and to refer the following questions to the Court for a preliminary ruling:
Landgericht Koblenz je med meritornim odločanjem o sporu, ko se je postavilo vpra�anje o tem, ali je prepoved, ki je določena v zakonu o varstvu mladoletnikov, združljiva z določbami člena 28 ES in Direktive 2000/31, prekinilo odločanje in Sodi�ču v predhodno odločanje predložilo ta vpra�anja:
The questions referred for a preliminary ruling
Vprašanja za predhodno odločanje
By its questions, which it is appropriate to examine together, the referring court asks whether the principle of free movement of goods within the meaning of Articles 28 EC to 30 EC, the latter being read, where appropriate, in conjunction with the provisions of Directive 2000/31, precludes national rules, such as those at issue in the main

DYNAMIC MEDIEN proceedings, which prohibit the sale and transfer by mail order of image storage media which have not been examined or classified by the competent authority for the purpose of protecting young persons and which does not bear a label from that authority indicating the age from which they may be viewed.
DYNAMIC MEDIEN slike, ki jih pristojni organ ni preizkusil in razvrstil za varstvo mladoletnikov in ki niso opremljeni z oznako tega organa, iz katere bi bila razvidna starost, od katere si je te nosilce slike dovoljeno ogledati.
As far as concerns the national legal context giving rise to the request for a preliminary ruling, the German Government submits that the prohibition of mail order sales of unexamined image storage media is not absolute.
Nem�ka vlada glede nacionalnega pravnega okvira, v katerega sodi predlog za sprejetje predhodne odločbe, trdi, da prepoved prodaje po po�ti nosilcev slike, ki niso bili preizku�eni, ni absolutna.
In fact, that type of sale is in accordance with national law when it is ensured that the order was made by an adult and that delivery of the goods concerned to children or adolescents is prevented by effective means.
Ta vrsta prodaje naj bi bila v resnici v skladu z nacionalnim pravom, kadar je mogoče zagotoviti, da je naročilo oddala odrasla oseba in da je dobava zadevnega proizvoda otroku ali mladostniku dejansko onemogočena.
In that context, the question arises as to the definition in national law of the concept of mail order sales.
V teh okoli�činah se postavlja vpra�anje, kako je v nacionalnem pravnem redu opredeljen pojem prodaje po po�ti.
It is clear from the casefile that that concept is defined by Paragraph 1(4) of the Law on the protection of young persons as ‘any transaction for consideration carried out by means of the ordering and dispatch of a product by postal or electronic means without personal contact between the supplier and the purchaser or without technical or other safeguards to ensure that the product is not dispatched to children or adolescents’.
Iz spisa namreč izhaja, da je ta pojem v členu 1(4) zakona o varstvu mladoletnikov opredeljen kot „vsak odplačni posel, opravljen z naročilom in dobavo blaga po po�ti ali elektronsko brez osebnega stika med dobaviteljem in kupcem ali brez zagotovila, da bo s tehničnimi ali z drugačnimi re�itvami preprečeno, da bi bila po�iljka izročena otrokom ali mladostnikom“.
However, it is not for the Court, in the context of a reference for a preliminary ruling, to give a ruling on the interpretation of provisions of national law or to decide whether the interpretation given by the national court of those provisions is correct (see, to that effect, Case C-58/98 Corsten [2000] ECR I-7919, paragraph 24).
Vendar Sodi�če ni pristojno, da bi se v okviru odločanja o predlogu za sprejetje predhodne odločbe izreklo o razlagi nacionalnih določb niti da bi presojalo o tem, ali jih predložitveno sodi�če pravilno razlaga (glej v tem smislu sodbo z dne 3. oktobra 2000 v zadevi Corsten, C-58/98, Recueil, str. I-7919, točka 24).
In such circumstances, it is appropriate to reply to the request for a preliminary ruling by starting from the premiss, which is that of the referring court, that the rules at issue in the main proceedings prohibit any sale by mail order of image storage media which have not been examined and classified by the competent authority for the purpose of protecting young persons and which do not bear a label from that authority indicating the age from which they may be viewed.
V takih okoli�činah je treba na predlog za sprejetje predhodne odločbe odgovoriti izhajajoč iz predpostavke predložitvenega sodi�ča, da zakonodaja, ki je predmet obravnave v postopku v glavni stvari, prepoveduje kakr�no koli prodajo po po�ti tistih nosilcev slike, ki jih pristojni organ ni preizkusil in razvrstil za varstvo mladoletnikov ter niso opremljeni z njegovo oznako, iz katere bi bila razvidna starost, od katere si je te nosilce slike dovoljeno ogledati.
Furthermore, it is apparent, in the light of the evidence in the case-file, that the rules at issue in the main proceedings apply not only to suppliers established on the territory of the Federal Republic of Germany but also to suppliers whose registered offices are in other Member States.
Poleg tega je treba poudariti, da se glede na podatke v spisu zdi, da se zakonodaja, ki je predmet obravnave v postopku v glavni stvari, ne uporablja samo za ponudnike s sedežem na ozemlju Zvezne republike Nemčije, ampak tudi za tiste, ki imajo sedež v drugih državah članicah.
As regards the provisions of Community law applicable in circumstances such as those in the main proceedings, certain aspects relating to the sale of image storage media by mail order may come within the scope of Directive 2000/31.
Glede določb prava Skupnosti, ki se uporabljajo v takih okoli�činah, kot so okoli�čine v sporu o glavni stvari, je treba ugotoviti, da se lahko za določene vidike prodaje nosilcev slike po po�ti uporablja Direktiva 2000/31.
However, as is clear from Article 2(h)(ii) thereof, that directive does not govern the requirements applicable to goods as such.
Vendar kot izhaja iz člena 2(h)(ii) te direktive, z njo niso urejene zahteve glede blaga.
The same is true of Directive 97/7.
Enako velja za Direktivo 97/7/ES.
Since the national rules relating to the protection of young persons at the time of the sale of goods by mail order have not been harmonised at Community level, the rules at issue in the main proceedings must be assessed by reference to Articles 28 EC and 30 EC.
Ker nacionalna pravila o varstvu mladoletnikov pri prodaji blaga po po�ti niso bila usklajena na ravni Skupnosti, je treba zakonodajo, ki je predmet obravnave v postopku v glavni stvari, presojati z vidika členov 28 ES in 30 ES.
The existence of a restriction on the free movement of goods
Obstoj omejevanja prostega pretoka blaga
Avides Media, the United Kingdom Government and the Commission of the European Communities take the view that the rules at issue in the main proceedings constitute a measure having equivalent effect to a quantitative restriction prohibited, in principle, by Article 28 EC.
Družba Avides Media, vlada Združenega kraljestva in Komisija Evropskih skupnosti menijo, da pomeni zakonodaja, ki je predmet obravnave v postopku v glavni stvari, ukrep z enakim učinkom, kot ga imajo količinske omejitve, ki so načeloma prepovedane s členom 28 ES.
According to the United Kingdom Government and the Commission that regime is, however, justified on grounds relating to the protection of young persons.
Po mnenju vlade Združenega kraljestva in Komisije Evropskih skupnosti naj bi bil navedeni sistem vseeno upravičen iz razlogov, povezanih z varstvom mladoletnikov.
Dynamic Medien, the German Government and Ireland submit that the rules at issue in the main proceedings concern selling arrangements within the meaning of the judgment in Joined Cases C-267/91 and C-268/91 Keck and Mithouard [1993] ECR I-6097.
Družba Dynamic Medien, nem�ka vlada in Irska trdijo, da se zakonodaja, ki je predmet obravnave v postopku v glavni stvari, nana�a na način prodaje v smislu sodbe z dne 24. novembra 1993 v zadevi Keck in Mithouard (C-267/91 in C-268/91, Recueil, str. I-6097).
Even if a measure is not intended to regulate trade in goods between Member States, the determining factor is its effect, actual or potential, on intra-Community trade.
Tudi če cilj ukrepa ni urejanje blagovne menjave med državami članicami, je odločilen njegov dejanski ali morebiten učinek na trgovino znotraj Skupnosti.
By virtue of that factor, in the absence of harmonisation of national legislation, obstacles to the free movement of goods which are the consequence of applying, to goods coming from other Member States where they are lawfully manufactured and
Na podlagi tega merila pomenijo ukrepi z enakim učinkom ovire za prosti pretok blaga, ki so, kadar nacionalne zakonodaje niso usklajene, posledica tega, da se za blago iz drugih držav članic, v katerih je to zakonito proizvedeno in trženo, uporabljajo pravila o pogojih,
By contrast, the application to products from other Member States of national provisions restricting or prohibiting certain selling arrangements is not such as to hinder directly or indirectly, actually or potentially, trade between Member States for the purposes of the line of caselaw beginning with Dassonville, on condition that those provisions apply to all relevant traders operating within the national territory and that they affect in the same manner, in law and in fact, the marketing of domestic products and of those from other Member States (see, inter alia, Keck and Mithouard, paragraph 16; Case C-292/92 Hünermund and Others [1993] ECR I-6787, paragraph 21; and Case C-434/04 Ahokainen and Leppik [2006] ECR I-9171, paragraph 19).
Nasprotno pa nacionalne določbe, ki omejujejo ali prepovedujejo določene načine prodaje in se nana�ajo na vse zadevne subjekte, ki opravljajo dejavnost na nacionalnem ozemlju, ter pravno in dejansko enako prizadenejo trženje nacionalnih proizvodov in trženje proizvodov iz drugih držav članic, trgovine med državami članicami ne omejujejo neposredno ali posredno, dejansko ali morebitno v smislu sodne prakse, ki temelji na zgoraj navedeni sodbi Dassonville (glej zlasti zgoraj navedeno sodbo Keck in Mithouard, točka 16, ter sodbi z dne 15. decembra 1993 v zadevi Hünermund in drugi, C-292/92, Recueil, str.
Provided that those conditions are fulfilled, the application of such rules
I-6787, točka 21, ter z dne 28. septembra 2006 v zadevi Ahokainen in Leppik, C-434/04, ZOdl., str. I-9171, točka 19).
DYNAMIC MEDIEN to the sale of products from another Member State meeting the requirements laid down by that State is not by nature such as to prevent their access to the market or to impede access any more than it impedes the access of domestic products (see Keck and Mithouard, paragraph 17).
DYNAMIC MEDIEN države članice, ki izpolnjujejo pravila te države, ne ovira njihovega dostopa do trga oziroma ga ne ovira bolj kot dostop nacionalnih proizvodov (glej zgoraj navedeno sodbo Keck in Mithouard, točka 17).
It is clear from paragraph 15 of the judgment in Case C-391/92 Commission v Greece [1995] ECR I-1621 that rules which restrict the marketing of products to certain points of sale, and which have the effect of limiting the commercial freedom of economic operators, without affecting the actual characteristics of the products referred to, constitute a selling arrangement for the purposes of the caselaw cited in paragraph 29 of this judgment.
Iz točke 15 sodbe z dne 19. junija 1995 v zadevi Komisija proti Grčiji (C-391/92, Recueil, str. I-1621) izhaja, da zakonodaja, s katero se omejuje trženje proizvodov na določene prodajne točke in ki povzroči omejitev poslovne svobode gospodarskih subjektov, ne da bi se nana�ala na lastnosti zadevnih proizvodov, pomeni način prodaje v smislu sodne prakse, navedene v točki 29 te sodbe.
Therefore, the need to adapt the products in question to the rules in force in the Member State in which they are marketed prevents the abovementioned requirements from being treated as selling arrangements (see Canal Satélite Digital, paragraph 30).
Tako zahteva, da je treba zadevne proizvode prilagoditi pravilom, ki veljajo v državi članici, v kateri se tržijo, izključuje to, da bi �lo za način prodaje (glej zgoraj navedeno sodbo Canal Satélite Digital, točka 30).
In the present case, the rules at issue in the main proceedings do not constitute a selling arrangement within the meaning of the caselaw resulting from Keck and Mithouard.
V obravnavanem primeru je treba ugotoviti, da nacionalna zakonodaja, ki je predmet obravnave v postopku v glavni stvari, ne pomeni načina prodaje v smislu sodne prakse, ki temelji na zgoraj navedeni sodbi Keck in Mithouard.
Those rules do not prohibit sale by mail order of image storage media.
Ta zakonodaja namreč ne prepoveduje prodaje po po�ti nosilcev slike.
They provide that, in order to be marketed in that way, image storage media must be subject to a national examination and classification procedure for the purpose of protecting young persons, regardless of whether a similar procedure has already been followed in the Member State from which those image storage media were exported.
Določa, da morajo biti nosilci slike, da bi se jih lahko prodajalo po po�ti, predmet nacionalnega postopka za preizkus in razvrstitev za varstvo mladoletnikov in to ne glede na vpra�anje, ali je bil enak postopek že opravljen v državi članici, iz katere so bili izvoženi navedeni nosilci slike.
Furthermore, those rules lay down a condition with which image storage media must comply, namely that with regard to their labelling.
Poleg tega ta zakonodaja določa pogoj, ki ga morajo izpolnjevati nosilci slike, to je pogoj v zvezi z njihovo oznako.
Such rules are liable to make the importation of image storage media from a Member State other than the Federal Republic of Germany more difficult and more expensive, with the result that they may dissuade some interested parties from marketing such image storage media in the latter Member State.
Treba je ugotoviti, da taka zakonodaja otežuje in draži uvoz nosilcev slike iz drugih držav članic, kot je Zvezna republika Nemčija, tako da lahko nekatere udeležence odvrne od prodaje takih nosilcev slike v Zvezni republiki Nemčiji.
It follows that the rules at issue in the main proceedings constitute a measure having equivalent effect to quantitative restrictions within the meaning of Article 28 EC, which in principle is incompatible with the obligations arising from that article unless it can be objectively justified.
Iz navedenega izhaja, da pomeni zakonodaja, ki je predmet obravnave v postopku v glavni stvari, ukrep z enakim učinkom, kot ga imajo količinske omejitve v smislu člena 28 ES, ki načeloma ni združljiv z obveznostmi, ki izhajajo iz njega, razen če ga je mogoče objektivno utemeljiti.
