Chapter VII 48 point 7 of the annex to the directive contains the following provision on transport by sea:
V točki 48(7) Poglavja VII Priloge k Direktivi je glede prevoza po morju določeno naslednje:
On 23 October 2002, Schwaninger Martin submitted to the Zollamt Salzburg, Erstattungen (Salzburg customs office/refunds) a declaration concerning the export of 33 bovine animals to Albania and an application for an export refund on the consignment.
Schwaninger Martin je 23. oktobra 2002 pri Zollamt Salzburg, Erstattungen (carinski urad v Salzburgu/Nadomestila), prijavil izvoz 33 glav goveda v Albanijo in na podlagi tega zahteval dodelitev izvoznega nadomestila.
It appears from the order for reference that the animals in question were first transported for 14 hours by road from Austria to Trieste (Italy), where they were unloaded and rested for 24 hours, and that they then continued the journey to Albania by lorry loaded onto a roll-on/roll-off ferry.
Iz predložitvene določbe izhaja, da so se zadevne živali najprej prevažale 14 ur po cesti iz Avstrije do Trsta (Italija), kjer so bile raztovorjene in kjer so imele 24 ur počitka, nato pa nadaljevale pot v Albanijo na tovornjakih, natovorjenih na trajekt ro-ro.
The crossing to Durres (Albania) lasted 41 and a half hours and was immediately followed by a four-and-half hour journey by road to Lushnja (Albania), the final destination where the animals were unloaded after travelling for 46 hours in all.
Prevoz po morju do Drača (Albanija) se je podalj�al za 41 ur in pol, katerim so sledile takoj �tiri ure in pol prevoza po cesti do Lushnje (Albanija), končnega namembnega kraja, kjer so bile živali raztovorjene po 46-urnem skupnem trajanju prevoza.
(b) In the case of transport by sea on a regular and direct link between two geographical points of the Community by means of vehicles loaded on to vessels without unloading of the animals, the latter must be rested for 12 hours after unloading at the port of destination or in its immediate vicinity unless the journey time at sea is such that the voyage can be included in the general scheme of points 2 to 4’.
(b) Pri prevozu po morju na redni in direktni liniji med dvema geografskima točkama v Skupnosti z vozili, natovorjenimi na plovila, brez iztovarjanja živali, morajo te imeti 12 ur počitka po iztovarjanju v namembnem pristani�ču ali v njegovi neposredni bližini, razen če se čas na poti po morju lahko vključi v splo�no shemo točk (2), (3) in (4).“
7 — In fact, the ‘29-hour rule’ represents an inaccurate interpretation of Chapter VII 48 point 4(d) which establishes that in the course of a journey which may last for a maximum of 28 hours, there must be a rest lasting for a minimum of at least one hour.
7 – Dejansko, „pravilo devetindvajsetih ur“ pomeni nenatančno razlago točke 48(4)(d), ki določa, da je v okviru prevoza, ki ne sme presegati 28 ur, treba omogočiti najmanj enourni počitek.
It follows that the 29-hour rule does not define the maximum but the minimum journey time.
Iz tega sledi, da navedeno pravilo devetindvajsetih ur ne določa najdalj�ega časa prevoza, ampak najkraj�i čas poti.
The Salzburg customs office rejected the application for an export refund submitted by Schwaninger Martin since it considered that the transport in question had been effected by the latter in breach of the Community rules on the protection of animals, in par -ticular the provisions of Directive 91/628 on the intervals at which animals are to be fed and watered in the course of journeys by sea.
Carinski urad v Salzburgu je zavrnil zahtevo za izvozno nadomestilo, ki jo je vložil Schwaninger Martin, ker je menil, da je ta opravil zadevni prevoz v nasprotju z zakonodajo Skupnosti na področju za�čite živali, zlasti določbo Direktive 91/628 v zvezi s presledki za krmljenje in napajanje živali med prevozi po morju.
It pointed out that, in fact, the route plan submitted by the applicant did not contain any statements in relation to the intervals at which the animals were fed and watered during the journey by sea or any indication as to who was in charge of feeding and watering them and it therefore assumed that
Poudaril je namreč, da v načrtu poti, ki ga je predložil pritožnik, niso bili navedeni presledki med krmljenjem in napajanjem živali, opravljenim med prevozom po morju, niti ni bila navedena za to odgovorna oseba, iz teh okoli�čin pa je sklepal, da živali, ki so se prevažale, niso bile ne krmljene ne napojene 46 ur. Poleg tega je menil, da je v zvezi s tem neupo�tevno,
SCHWANINGER the case of transport of bovine animals, the journey time by sea does not comply with the rule in point 4(d) if, after 14 hours of travel, the animals are not given a rest period of at least one hour?
SCHWANINGER da je voznik naknadno predložil zapriseženo izjavo, ki je vsebovala podatke o času napajanja in krmljenja, opravljenega med prevozom na trajektu.
the animals transported had neither been fed nor watered for a period of 46 hours.
ni v skladu s pravilom, predvidenim v točki (4)(d), kadar živali po �tirinajstih urah prevoza nimajo najmanj enournega počitka?
Schwaninger Martin brought an appeal against the Salzburg customs office’s decision to reject its application before the Unabhängiger Finanzsenat (Independent Finance Tribunal) which, having doubts as to the interpretation of the relevant Community legislation, decided to stay the proceedings pending before it and refer the following questions to the Court for a preliminary ruling:
Schwaninger Martin se je zoper zavrnilno odločbo carinskega urada v Salzburgu pritožil na Unabhängiger Finanzsenat (neodvisno davčno zbornico), ki je dvomila glede razlage upo�tevne skupnostne zakonodaje in se odločila prekiniti postopek ter Sodi�ču v predhodno odločanje predložiti naslednja vpra�anja:
(3) If question one is answered in the negative, is the then applicable provision in Chapter VII 48 point 7(a) of the annex to Directive 91/628/EEC to be understood as meaning that the journey time by sea on a regular and direct link between a geographical point of the Community and a geographical point in a third country by means of vehicles loaded onto vessels without unloading of the animals is immaterial provided that the animals are regularly fed and watered and, in such a case, does a further period of 29 hours of transport by road begin immediately after unloading the lorry at the port of destination?
Če je odgovor na prvo vpra�anje nikalen, ali je treba določbo točke 48(7)(a) Priloge k Direktivi 91/628, ki se uporablja v tem primeru, razlagati tako, da je trajanje prevoza po morju na redni in direktni liniji med geografsko točko v Skupnosti in geografsko točko v tretji državi z vozili, natovorjenimi na plovila, brez iztovarjanja živali, neupo�tevno, če so živali redno krmljene in napojene ter če se v tem primeru takoj potem, ko je bil tovornjak iztovorjen v namembnem pristani�ču, začne nadaljnji 29-urni čas prevoza po cesti?

III — Legal analysis
III – Pravna presoja
It should be noted first that under Article 1 of Regulation No 615/98 the granting of export refunds is subject to compliance, during the transport of the animals to the first place of unloading in the third country of final destination, with the Community rules on the protection of animals, in particular the rules referred to in Directive 91/628 and especially the provisions contained in Chapter VII of the annex to that directive on maximum journey times and rest periods to be observed during transport.
Najprej je treba spomniti, da je dodelitev izvoznih nadomestil v skladu s členom 1 Uredbe �t. 615/98 pogojena s spo�tovanjem, med prevozom in do prvega iztovarjanja v tretji državi končnega namembnega kraja, skupnostne zakonodaje na področju za�čite živali, zlasti določb iz Direktive 91/628, med katerimi je treba omeniti določbe iz Poglavja VII Priloge k navedeni direktivi, ki se nana�ajo na najdalj�e trajanje in čas počitka, ki ga je treba spo�tovati med prevozom.
By the first question, the referring court is essentially asking the Court to determine the scope of the reference made by Regulation No 615/98 to Directive 91/628 and in particular whether, by virtue of that reference, the express provision in Chapter VII 48 point 7(b) of the annex to that directive which applies to transport by ferry on a regular and direct link between two geographical
Predložitveno sodi�če s prvim vpra�anjem v bistvu prosi Sodi�če, naj pojasni obseg napotila iz Uredbe �t. 615/98 na Direktivo 91/628 in zlasti to, ali je treba na podlagi tega napotila pri prevozu na trajektu v tretjo državo uporabiti po analogiji izrecne določbe iz točke 48(7)(b) Priloge k Direktivi
In general, bovine animals may be transported for eight hours except in cases where certain requirements are met relating to the means of transport and designed to ensure the welfare of the animals transported — Chapter VII 48 point 3 of the annex to the directive — in which case the journey may last twenty-nine hours with a rest period of at least one hour during which the animals must be fed and watered.
Govedo je na splo�no mogoče prevažati osem ur, razen kadar so bili spo�tovani določeni pogoji glede prevoznega sredstva za zagotovitev dobrega počutja živali, ki se prevažajo – točka 48(3) Priloge k Direktivi. V tem primeru se lahko prevoz podalj�a za 29 ur z najmanj enournim vmesnim odmorom, med katerim je treba živali nakrmiti in napojiti.
In the case of transport by sea, Chapter VII 48 point 7(a) of the annex to the dir -ective provides that the maximum journey time is to be eight hours unless the means of transport complies with the requirements laid down in point 3, in which case it is no longer necessary to meet the conditions relating to journey times and rest periods.
Točka 48(7)(a) Priloge k Direktivi pri prevozu po morju določa največ osemurno trajanje poti, razen če prevozno sredstvo izpolnjuje omenjene zahteve iz točke (3), pri čemer se v tem primeru več ne zahteva spo�tovanje pogojev glede trajanja prevoza in počitka.
However, where intra-Community transport by sea is effected by means of roll-on/roll-off ferries, Chapter VII 48 point 7(b) provides that there must be a rest period of twelve hours at the port of destination if the journey time exceeds the journey times specified in points 2 and 4(d) (eight hours and twentyeight hours respectively).
Vendar kadar se prevoz po morju znotraj Skupnosti opravi s trajekti ro-ro, točka (b) zgoraj navedene točke (7) nalaga 12-urni odmor v namembnem pristani�ču, če se presežejo časovne meje, predvidene v točkah (2) in (4)(d) (osem ali 28 ur prevoza).
In the first place, as the Commission has pointed out, in addition to the clear wording of Chapter VII 48 point 7(b) of the annex to Directive 91/628 according to which transport by ferry outside the Community does not fall within the scope of that provision, there is also the fact that while it is true that for the purposes of granting export refunds Article 1 of Regulation No 615/98 extends compliance with the provisions of Directive 91/628 in the phases of transport of animals ‘to the first place of unloading in the third country of final destination’, nevertheless that regulation does not contain any specific provision on the detailed rules whereby the provisions of the directive, which refer explicitly to intra-Community transport, are to apply equally under the regulation to transport to third countries.
Prvič, kot je pripomnila Komisija, se jasni formulaciji točke 48(7)(b) Priloge k Direktivi 91/628, ki s področja uporabe izključuje trajektne prevoze, opravljene zunaj prostora Skupnosti, poleg tega dodaja dejstvo, da čeprav je res, da člen 1 Uredbe �t. 615/98 za dodelitev izvoznih nadomestil raz�irja spo�tovanje določb iz Direktive 91/628 med prevozom živali „do prvega kraja iztovarjanja v tretji državi končnega namembnega kraja“, ta uredba ne vsebuje nobene posebne določbe, v skladu s katero bi se morale določbe Direktive v okviru navedene uredbe enako uporabljati za prevoze, opravljene v tretje države, čeprav se izrecno nana�ajo na prevoze znotraj Skupnosti.
The referring court asks the Court to determine which of the two cases referred to in Chapter VII 48 point 7(a) and (b) of the annex to Directive 91/628 applies to transport, as in the present case, in a lorry loaded onto a ferry on a regular link between a point of the Community and a third country.
Predložitveno sodi�če v skladu s tem prosi Sodi�če, naj pojasni, kateri od dveh primerov iz točke 48(7)(a) in (b) Priloge k Direktivi 91/628 se uporablja za prevoz, ki se kot v obravnavanem primeru opravi s tovornjaki, natovorjenimi na trajekte na liniji med geografsko točko v Skupnosti in geografsko točko v tretji državi.
The referring court, while noting that on the basis of the wording of Chapter VII 48 point 7(b) that provision is not applicable to transport other than Community transport, nevertheless considers that the scope of the article in question may be extended by virtue of the reference made by Regulation No 615/98 to Directive 91/628, which requires compliance with the provisions of the directive during the transport of the animals to the first place of unloading in the third country of final destination.
Predložitveno sodi�če namreč, čeprav meni, da bi se morala na podlagi dobesedne formulacije točke (7)(b) izključiti uporaba navedene določbe za druge prevoze, ki niso skupnostni prevozi, �teje, da se področje uporabe zadevnega člena lahko raz�iri na podlagi napotila iz Uredbe �t. 615/98 na Direktivo 91/628, ki zahteva spo�tovanje njenih določb med prevozom živali in do prvega iztovarjanja v tretji državi končnega namembnega kraja.
It should be noted in this connection that, although the analogous application of the provisions laid down in Chapter VII 48 point 7(b) of the annex to Direct- ive 91/628 to extraCommunity transport would help to achieve the specific objective of protecting animals, referred to in Regulation No 615/98, by securing an equal level of protection in both Community and extraCommunity transport, nevertheless such an extension of the rules would entail cooperation on the part of third countries which would have to ensure that the infrastructures and the hygiene facilities required under the Community legislation to ensure the welfare of the animals were available in the ports of destination in those countries.
V zvezi s tem je treba poudariti, da čeprav bi analogna uporaba določb iz točke 48(7)(b) Priloge k Direktivi 91/628 za prevoze zunaj Skupnosti prispevala k doseganju posebnega cilja za�čite živali iz Uredbe �t. 615/98, s čimer bi se zagotovila enaka raven za�čite pri prevozih znotraj in zunaj Skupnosti, bi taka raz�iritev zakonodaje zahtevala sodelovanje tretjih držav, ki bi morale v svojih namembnih pristani�čih zagotoviti obstoj infrastrukture in higienskih razmer v skladu s skupnostno zakonodajo o varstvu dobrega počutja živali.
That is incompatible with compliance with the principle of sovereign equality of States on which international relations are based.
To ni v skladu z načelom suverene enakosti držav, na katerem temeljijo mednarodni odnosi.
In my view, that interpretation is inadmissible for various reasons.
Menim, da taka razlaga ni sprejemljiva iz več razlogov.
The analogous extension proposed by the referring court is therefore precluded by the requirement to comply with the principles of international law and, in particular, by the legal impossibility of imposing the application of Community rules outside ‘Community territory’.
Zato zahteva po spo�tovanju načel mednarodnega prava in zlasti pravna nemožnost naložiti uporabo skupnostnih pravil onkraj „ozemlja Skupnosti“ 8izključujeta analogno raz�iritev, ki jo navaja predložitveno sodi�če.
8It is not to be supposed that the Community legislature, in requiring compliance with the provisions of Directive 91/628 for the purposes of export refunds through the reference made to that directive by Article 1 of Regulation No 615/98, intended to go against those principles and that legal impossibility.
Ni mogoče �teti, da je imel skupnostni zakonodajalec z napotilom iz člena 1 Uredbe �t. 615/98 na Direktivo 91/628 namen naložiti spo�tovanje njenih določb glede izvoznih nadomestil v nasprotju z navedenima načeloma in navedeno nemožnostjo.
The interpretation of the combined provisions of Article 1 of Regulation No 615/98 and Chapter VII 48 point 7(b) of the annex to Directive 91/628 proposed by the national court must therefore be ruled out as being contrary to the precepts in the preceding paragraph.
Razlago določb člena 1 Uredbe �t. 615/98 v povezavi s točko 48(7)(b) Priloge k Direktivi 91/628, ki jo navaja nacionalno sodi�če je zato treba izključiti, ker je v nasprotju s tem, kar je bilo navedeno v prej�nji točki.
