In any event, it must be pointed out that the 11th recital in the preamble to Directive 2005/53 also states that ‘experience has shown that difficulties can arise in interpreting the duties of holders of existing authorisations in relation to access to data.
Vsekakor pa je treba poudariti, da uvodna izjava 11 Direktive 2005/53 določa tudi, da „[i]zku�nje […] kažejo, da lahko pri tolmačenju dolžnosti imetnikov obstoječih dovoljenj nastopijo težave v zvezi z dostopom do podatkov.
In order to avoid further difficulties it therefore appears necessary to clarify the duties of the Member States, especially the duty to verify that the holder of an authorisation demonstrates access to a dossier satisfying the requirements of Annex II to that Directive.’
Da bi se izognili nadaljnjim težavam, se zato zdi primerno, da se razjasnijo dolžnosti držav članic, zlasti dolžnost preverjanja, da ima imetnik registracije dostop do dokumentacije, ki izpolnjuje zahteve iz Priloge II k navedeni direktivi“.
That clarification confirms that the choice made in Directive 2005/53 is of relevance to the future and that Directive 2005/53 in no way constitutes an interpretative act that can affect the interpretation of Directive 2002/37.
Ta natančna opredelitev potrjuje, da možnost, ki je bila izbrana v Direktivi 2005/53, velja za prihodnost in da ta direktiva nikakor ne more biti razlagalni predpis, ki bi lahko vplival na razlago Direk -tive 2002/37.
In those circumstances, the answer to the question referred must be that Article 4(1) of Directive 2002/37 must be interpreted as not requiring Member States to terminate, before 1 September 2003, the authorisation of a plant protection product containing ethofumesate on the ground that the holder of that authorisation does not hold, or have access to, an Annex II dossier.
Glede na to je treba na zastavljeno vpra�anje odgovoriti, da je treba člen 4(1) Direktive 2002/37 razlagati tako, da od držav članic ne zahteva preklica registracije fitofarmacevtskega sredstva, ki vsebuje etofumesat, pred 1. septembrom 2003, če imetnik nima ali nima dostopa do dokumentacije iz Priloge II.
Article 4(1) of Commission Directive 2002/37/EC of 3 May 2002 amending Council Directive 91/414/EEC to include ethofumesate as an active substance must be interpreted as not requiring Member States to terminate, before 1 September 2003, the authorisation of a plant protection product containing ethofumesate on the ground that the holder of that authorisation does not hold, or have access to, a dossier satisfying the requirements set out in Annex II to Council Directive 91/414/EEC of 15 July 1991 concerning the placing of plant protection products on the market.
Člen 4(1) Direktive Komisije 2002/37/ES z dne 3. maja 2002 o spremembi Direktive Sveta 91/414/EGS zaradi vključitve etofumesata kot aktivne snovi je treba razlagati tako, da od držav članic ne zahteva preklica registracije fitofarmacevtskega sredstva, ki vsebuje etofumesat, pred 1. septembrom 2003, če imetnik te registracije nima ali nima dostopa do dokumentacije, ki izpolnjuje pogoje, določene v Prilogi II k Direktivi Sveta 91/414/EGS z dne 15. julija 1991 o dajanju fitofarmacevtskih sredstev v promet.

electricity transmission and distribution systems.
skladu s členom 20(1) Direktive 2003/54 o skupnih pravilih za notranji trg z električno energijo uporablja za omrežja za prenos in distribucijo električne energije.
A question referred by a national court asking, in the context of dispute relating to a challenge made by an electricity supplier to an exemption granted under a provision of national law to certain operators of energy supply systems from having to allow open access to their systems, whether the provisions of a directive preclude that derogating system, which grants that exemption without the technical capacities of those systems having to be taken into account, is relevant, not hypothetical, and is for that reason admissible.
Vpra�anje za predhodno odločanje, s katerim predložitveno sodi�če v sporu v zvezi s tožbo dobavitelja električne energije, ker se v skladu z določbo nacional -nega prava nekatere upravljavce omrežij za oskrbo z energijo oprosti obveznosti, da omogočijo prosti dostop do svojega omrežja, spra�uje, ali določbe direktive nasprotujejo tej ureditvi odstopanja, ki podeljuje to oprostitev, ne da bi se upo�tevale tehnične zmogljivosti teh omrežij.
(see paras 33, 35, 36)
(Glej točke 33, 35 in 36.)
A network which is located on a geographically connected operation zone and predominantly serves to supply the energy needs of an undertaking and of connected undertakings and which transports, for supply to clients, electricity which is not at extra-high or high voltage, irrespective of the quantity of electricity transported over that network and irrespective of the fact that the operation of that network is merely an activity ancillary to the main activity of that undertaking, falls within the scope of that provision and is therefore an electricity distribution system within the meaning of point 5 of Article 2 of Directive 2003/54.
Na področje uporabe te določbe spada in je torej distribucijsko omrežje električne energije v smislu člen 2, točka 5, Direktive 2003/54 omrežje, ki je name�čeno na obratovalnem območju, ki je funkcionalna enota, in ki služi zlasti oskrbi z energijo samega podjetja in priključenih podjetij, prek katerega se za dobavo porabnikom prena�a električna energija, ki ni zelo visoke oziroma visoke napetosti ne glede na količino energije, prenesene po tem omrežju, in ne glede na dejstvo, da je upravljanje navedenega omrežja le dopolnilna dejavnost glavne dejavnosti podjetja.
The principle of open access, which constitutes one of the essential measures which the Member States are required to implement in order to bring about the internal market in electricity, applies, according to Article 20(1) of Directive 2003/54 concerning common rules for the internal market in electricity, to
Načelo prostega dostopa, ki je eden od bistvenih ukrepov, ki jih morajo države članice izvesti, da se ustvari ustrezen notranji trg električne energije, se v

(Glej točke od 44 do 48 in 54.)
within the scope of any of the exceptions or derogations from that principle laid down by the directive, whether
izjem ali odstopanj od načela prostega dostopa do omrežij za prenos in distribucijo električne energije, določenih z Direktivo, če gre za:
Article 20(1) of Directive 2003/54 concerning common rules for the internal market in electricity must be interpreted as precluding a provision of national legislation which exempts certain operators of energy supply systems from the obligation to provide third parties with open access to those systems on the grounds that they are located on a geographically connected operation zone and that they predominantly serve to supply the energy needs of the undertaking itself and of connected undertakings.
Člen 20(1) Direktive 2003/54 o skupnih pravilih za notranji trg z električno energijo je treba razlagati tako, da nasprotuje nacionalni zakonodaji, s katero se nekatere upravljavce omrežij za oskrbo z energijo oprosti obveznosti, da tretjim stranem omogočijo prosti dostop do teh omrežij, z obrazložitvijo, da se slednja nahajajo na obratovalnem območju, ki je funkcionalna enota in da služijo zlasti oskrbi z energijo samega podjetja in priključenih podjetij.
— first, that established by Article 20(2) of Directive 2003/54, which, in order to permit the operator of a distribution system to refuse access to its network where it lacks the necessary capacity, requires reasons and justification which can be assessed on a case-by-case basis and does not authorise the Member States to lay down general derogations without a concrete assessment of that incapacity or,
– prvič, ureditev, iz njenega člena 20(2), ki zato, da se upravljavcu distribucijskega omrežja lahko dovoli, da zavrne dostop do svojega omrežja, če nima potrebnih zmogljivosti, zahteva obrazložitev in utemeljitev, ki ju je mogoče presoditi od primera do primera, in državam članicam ne omogoča, da določijo splo�na odstopanja in brez konkretne presoje te nezmožnosti, ali
Although that provision leaves the Member States free to take the measures necessary to establish a system of third-party access to transmission or distribution systems and although, consequently, the Member States have authority over the form and the methods to be used to implement such a system, the fact remains that, having regard to the importance of the principle of open access to transmission or distribution systems, that margin of discretion does not authorise them to depart from that principle except in those cases where the directive lays down exceptions or derogations.
Namreč, čeprav ta določba prepu�ča državam članicam, da sprejmejo potrebne ukrepe za uvedbo sistema dostopa tretjih strani do prenosnih in distribucijskih omrežij in čeprav so države članice zato v skladu s členom 249 ES pristojne za izbiro oblike in metod za uvedbo tega sistema, pa jim ob upo�tevanju pomena načela prostega dostopa do prenosnih ali distribucijskih omrežij ta diskrecijska pravica vendarle ne dovoljuje, da izključijo navedeno načelo, razen v primerih, za katere Direktiva določa izjeme ali odstopanja.
Such is not the case where a provision of national legislation does not come
To ne velja za nacionalno ureditev, ki ne spada na področje uporabe nobene od
— secondly, the derogation established by Article 3(8) of the directive since, on the one hand, the derogation laid down by the legislation at issue is not justified by the risk that the operators of systems would be prevented from performing their public-service obligations by the fact of that open access and, on the other, that derogation can be justified only by the geographical or legal configuration of the area in which those systems are operated, or,
– drugič, odstopanje iz člena 3(8) Direktive, če po eni strani odstopanje, določeno s sporno ureditvijo, ni utemeljeno s tveganjem, da upravljavci omrežij zaradi tega prostega dostopa ne bi mogli izpolniti svojih obveznosti javnih storitev, in če je po drugi strani navedeno odstopanje upravičeno le z geografsko konfiguracijo oziroma pravnim položajem območja, na katerem se ta omrežja upravljajo, ali

OPINION OF ADVOCATE GENERAL
SKLEPNI PREDLOGI GENERALNEGA PRAVOBRANILCAJÁNA MAZÁKA, predstavljeni 13. decembra 2007 1
MAZÁKdelivered on 13 December 2007 operated by the company running the airport for its own supply and that of 93 undertakings located at the airport.
Zadevno omrežje v postopku v glavni stvari se nahaja na letali�ču Leipzig/Halle in z njim upravlja družba, ki upravlja letali�če, in sicer za lastno oskrbo in za oskrbo 93 podjetij, ki se nahajajo na letali�ču.
The present reference is the first that concerns the interpretation of Directive 2003/54/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 26 June 2003 concerning common rules for the internal market in electricity and repealing Directive 96/92/EC (‘the directive’). 2
Ta predlog je prvi, ki se nana�a na razlago Direktive 2003/54/ES Evropskega parlamenta in Sveta z dne 26. junija 2003 o skupnih pravilih za notranji trg z električno energijo in o razveljavitvi Direktive 96/92/ES (v nadaljevanju: Direktiva). 2
I — Relevant legislation
I – Upoštevna zakonodaja
The provision to be construed by the Court is Article 20(1) of that Directive, which concerns free access by third parties to electricity transmission and distribution systems.
Predmet razlage Sodi�ča je določba člena 20(1) te direktive, ki se nana�a na prost dostop tretjih strani do prenosnih in distribucijskih omrežij.
A — Community legislation
A – Skupnostna ureditev
Article 2 of the Directive gives the following definitions:
Člen 2 Direktive določa:
The system at issue in the main proceedings is located at Leipzig/Halle Airport and is
Vpra�anje za predhodno odločanje je bilo postavljeno, ker so po nem�kem pravu omrežja za oskrbo z električno energijo, ki se v celoti nahajajo v objektih podjetja (tako imenovana „obratovalna omrežja“ ali „Betriebsnetze“), lahko pod določenimi pogoji med drugim izključena iz načela dostopa tretjih strani do omrežja.
‘5. “distribution” means the transport of electricity on high-voltage, medium voltage and low voltage distribution systems with a view to its delivery to customers, but not including supply;
„5. ‚distribucija‘ pomeni transport električne energije po visoko-, srednje- in nizkonapetostnem distribucijskem omrežju z namenom dobave odjemalcem, vendar ne vključuje dobave;
Article 3(8) of the Directive states as follows:
Člen 3(8) Direktive določa:
“distribution system operator” means a natural or legal person responsible for operating, ensuring the maintenance of and, if necessary, developing the distribution system in a given area and, where applicable, its interconnections with other systems and for ensuring the long term ability of the system to meet reasonable demands for the distribution of electricity;
‚upravljavec distribucijskega omrežja‘ pomeni pravno ali fizično osebo, ki je odgovorna za obratovanje distribucijskega omrežja, zagotavljanje njegovega vzdrževanja in po potrebi za razvoj le-tega na danem območju, za medsebojne povezave z drugimi omrežji, kjer to ustreza, in za zagotavljanje dolgoročne zmogljivosti omrežja za zadovoljitev razumnih potreb po distribuciji električne energije; […]
‘Member States may decide not to apply the provisions of Articles 6, 7, 20 and 22 in so far as their application would obstruct the performance, in law or in fact, of the obligations imposed on electricity undertakings in the general economic interest and in so far as the development of trade would not be affected to such an extent as would be contrary to the interests of the Community.
„Države članice se lahko odločijo, da ne bodo uporabile določb iz členov 6, 7, 20 in 22, če bi uporaba teh določb pravno in dejansko ovirala izpolnjevanje obveznosti, ki so naložene elektroenergetskim podjetjem v splo�nem gospodarskem interesu, in če razvoj trgovanja ni prizadet do tak�ne mere, ki bi bila v nasprotju z interesi Skupnosti.
The interests of the Community include, amongst others, competition with regard to eligible customers in accordance with this Directive and Article 86 of the Treaty.’
Interesi Skupnosti vključujejo med drugim konkurenco za upravičene odjemalce skladno s to direktivo in členom 86 Pogodbe.“
Article 13 of the Directive provides:
Člen 13 Direktive določa:
26. “small isolated system” means any system with consumption of less than 3 000 GWh in the year 1996, where less than 5% of annual consumption is obtained through interconnection with other systems; of
26. ‚majhno izdvojeno omrežje‘ pomeni vsako omrežje s porabo, ki je manj�a od 3000 GWh v letu 1996, kjer se manj kot 5 % porabe na leto pridobi iz povezav z drugimi omrežji;

„Imenovanje upravljavcev distribucijskega omrežja
Member States shall designate or shall require undertakings that own or are responsible for distribution systems to designate, for a period of time to be determined by Member States having regard to considerations of efficiency and economic balance, one or more distribution system operators.
Države članice imenujejo ali zahtevajo od podjetij, ki imajo v lasti distribucijska omrežja ali so zanje odgovorna, da imenujejo enega ali več upravljavcev distribucijskega omrežja za čas, ki ga morajo določiti države članice ob upo�tevanju učinkovitosti in gospodarskega ravnotežja.
Member States shall ensure that distribution system operators act in accordance with Articles 14 to 16.’
Države članice zagotovijo, da upravljavci distribucijskega omrežja delujejo v skladu s členi [od] 14 do 16.“
Article 20 of the Directive provides as follows:

‘Third party access
B – Nacionalna ureditev
B — National legislation
„Dostop tretjih strani
The operator of a transmission or distribution system may refuse access where it lacks the necessary capacity.
Upravljavec prenosnega ali distribucijskega omrežja lahko zavrne dostop, če nima potrebnih zmogljivosti.
Duly substantiated reasons must be given for such refusal, in particular having regard to Article 3.
Za tako zavrnitev mora podati utemeljene razloge, zlasti ob upo�tevanju člena 3.
Member States shall ensure, where appropriate and when refusal of access takes place, that the transmission or distribution system operator provides relevant information on measures that would be necessary to reinforce the network.
Kjer to ustreza in v primeru zavrnitve dostopa, države članice zagotovijo, da upravljavec prenosnega ali distribucijskega omrežja posreduje ustrezne informacije o potrebnih ukrepih za okrepitev omrežja.
The party requesting such information may be charged a reason-
Strani, ki želi tak�ne informacije, se lahko zaračuna razumna pristojbina, ki odraža stro�ke posredovanja informacij.“
‘“General supply systems” shall mean energy supply systems, whose function is to distribute energy to third parties and which in terms of their size are not from the outset designed only to supply specific end consumers already existing or identifiable at the time of system construction, but which are in principle open to supply all end consumers.’
„‚Splo�na oskrbovalna omrežja‘ pomenijo omrežja za dobavo energije, katerih naloga je distribucija energije tretjim stranem in ki v smislu svoje velikosti niso od začetka ustvarjena zgolj za dobavo določenim končnim odjemalcem, ki so že obstajali ali jih je bilo mogoče identificirati v času gradnje omrežja, temveč so načeloma odprta za dobavo vsem končnim odjemalcem.“
Paragraph 20 of the EnWG establishes the principle of access for third parties to ‘energy supply systems’, in the following terms:
