In other words, the obligation to pay the minimum wage laid down in the collective agreement in force in the place where the services are performed applies both to service providers established in Germany and to those established in another Member State.
Z drugimi besedami, obveznost izplačila minimalne plače, določene s kolektivno pogodbo, ki velja v kraju, kjer se storitve izvajajo, velja tako za ponudnike storitev s sedežem v Nemčiji kot za ponudnike, ki imajo sedež v drugi državi članici.
In the present case, there is barely any doubt, in my view, that a restriction on the freedom to provide services exists.
V tej zadevi po mojem mnenju skorajda ni dvoma, da obstaja omejitev svobode opravljanja storitev.
By requiring undertakings performing public works contracts and, indirectly, their subcontractors to pay workers at least the remuneration prescribed by the collective

According to equally settled caselaw of the Court, such legislation, that is applicable without distinction, may be justified under Article 49 EC where it meets overriding requirements relating to the public interest in so far as that interest is not safeguarded by the rules to which the provider of the service is subject in the Member State in which he is established and in so far as it is appropriate for securing the attainment of the objective
V skladu z enako ustaljeno sodno prakso Sodi�ča se lahko predpis, ki se uporablja brez razlikovanja, upraviči na podlagi člena 49 ES, kadar izpolnjuje vi�je razloge v javnem interesu, če tega interesa ne varujejo pravila, ki za ponudnika storitev veljajo v državi članici, kjer ima sedež, in če je ta predpis primeren
RÜFFERT which it pursues and does not go beyond what is necessary in order to attain it. 27
RÜFFERT za dosego cilja, ki ga zasleduje, ter ne presega tega, kar je nujno potrebno, da se doseže 27.
The Court has also ruled that the objective of preventing unfair competition by undertakings paying their workers less than the minimum wage may also be taken into consideration as an overriding requirement capable of justifying a restriction on the freedom to provide services.
Sodi�če je tudi razsodilo, da je cilj preprečiti nelojalno konkurenco podjetij, ki svojim delavcem izplačujejo nižjo plačo od minimalne, mogoče upo�tevati kot vi�jo zahtevo, ki lahko upraviči omejitev svobode opravljanja storitev 30.
30It has also indicated that there is not necessarily any contradiction between the objective of upholding fair competition on the one hand and ensuring worker protection, on the other. 31
Navedlo je �e, da ni nujno, da si cilj ohranitve lojalne konkurence in cilj zagotovitve varstva delavcev nasprotujeta 31.
Overriding reasons relating to the public interest which have been recognised by the Court include the protection of workers. 28
Med vi�jimi razlogi v javnem interesu, ki jih je Sodi�če že priznalo, je varstvo delavcev 28.
In developing this reasoning, the Court recently established an explicit link between its settled caselaw recognising the Member States’ right to extend their legislation or collective agreements relating to minimum wages to any person who is employed, even temporarily, within their territory, and the justification based on the ‘prevention of social dumping’. 32
Sodi�če je nedavno pri razvijanju te utemeljitve izrecno ugotovilo povezavo med ustaljeno sodno prakso, ki državam članicam priznava možnost raz�iriti svojo zakonodajo ali kolektivne pogodbe glede minimalne plače na vse osebe, ki so, čeprav začasno, zaposlene na njihovem ozemlju, in utemeljitvijo, ki temelji na „preprečevanju socialnega dampinga“ 32.
In the name of that overriding reason, the Court has already held that Community law does not preclude Member States from applying their legislation, or collective labour agreements entered into by both sides of industry, to any person who is employed, even temporarily, within their territory, no matter in which country the employer is established, just as Community law does not prohibit Member States from enforcing those rules by appropriate means when it emerges that the protection conferred thereunder is not guaranteed by identical or essentially similar obligations by which the undertaking is already bound in the Member State where it is established. 29
V imenu tega razloga iz ustaljene sodne prakse Sodi�ča izhaja, da pravo Skupnosti ne nasprotuje temu, da države članice svojo zakonodajo ali kolektivne delovne pogodbe, sklenjene med socialnimi partnerji, raz�irijo na vse osebe, ki so, čeprav začasno, zaposlene na njihovem ozemlju, ne glede na državo, v kateri ima delodajalec sedež, niti ne prepoveduje, da države članice s primernimi ukrepi določijo spo�tovanje teh pravil, kadar se izkaže, da obveznosti, ki so enake ali v osnovi primerljive, ki so podjetju v državi članici, v kateri ima sedež, že naložene, ne zagotavljajo za�čite, ki jo ta dajejo 29.
I have indicated above that the court of reference has doubts as to whether the
Zgoraj sem že navedel, da predložitveno sodi�če dvomi o tem, ali obveznost, ki jo

28 — See in particular Wolff & Müller, paragraph 35 and the caselaw cited. In order to recognise that the public interest relating to the social protection of workers in the construction industry and the monitoring of compliance with the relevant rules constitute an overriding requirement, the Court adduced ‘conditions specific to that sector’ (Case C-272/94 Guiot and Climatec [1996] ECR I-1905, paragraph 16, and Joined Cases C-369/96 and C-376/96 Arblade and Others [1999] ECR I-8453, paragraph 51). 29 — See in particular Case C-445/03 Commission v Luxembourg [2004] ECR I-10191, paragraph 29 and the caselaw cited, and Case C-168/04 Commission v Austria [2006] ECR I-9041, paragraph 47.

Da bi priznali, da splo�ni interes v zvezi s socialnim varstvom delavcev v gradbeni�tvu in v zvezi z nadzorom nad spo�tovanjem le-tega lahko pomeni vi�ji razlog, je Sodi�če izpostavilo obstoj „posebnih pogojev za ta sektor“ (sodbi z dne 28. marca 1996 v zadevi Guiot (C-272/94, Recueil, str. I-1905, točka 16) in z dne 23. novembra 1999 v zdruŽenih zadevah Airblade in drugi (C-369/96 in C-376/96, Recueil, str.

I consider, by contrast, that the disputed provisions of the Landesvergabegesetz are appropriate for securing the attainment of the objectives of protecting workers and preventing social dumping and do not go beyond what is necessary in order to attain them.
Nasprotno menim, da lahko izpodbijane določbe deželnega zakona zagotovijo uresničitev ciljev varstva delavcev in preprečitve socialnega dampinga ter ne presegajo tistega, kar je potrebno za njihovo dosego.
I remind the Court that, according to the court of reference, the main purpose of the legislation at issue is to protect German building undertakings from competition from other Member States.
V zvezi s tem opozarjam, da naj bi bil, po mnenju tega sodi�ča, temeljni cilj zadevnih zakonskih določb za�čititi nem�ka gradbena podjetja pred konkurenco iz drugih držav članic.
Such an economic objective cannot constitute an overriding requirement relating to the public interest justifying a restriction on the freedom to provide services.
Tak gospodarski cilj ne more pomeniti vi�jega razloga v javnem interesu, ki bi upravičil omejitev svobode opravljanja storitev.
It is true that, according to settled caselaw, measures restricting the freedom to provide services cannot be justified by economic aims, such as the protection of national businesses.
Res je, da ukrepov, ki pomenijo omejitev svobode opravljanja storitev, v skladu z ustaljeno sodno prakso ni mogoče upravičiti z gospodarskimi cilji, kot je za�čita nacionalnih podjetij 33.
33However, the Court considers at the same time that whilst the intention of the legislature, to be gathered from the political debates preceding the adoption of a law or from the statement of the grounds on which it was adopted, may be an indication of the aim of that law, it is not conclusive.
Vendar Sodi�če hkrati meni, da namen zakonodajalca, kot se kaže v političnih razpravah pred sprejetjem zakona ali v njegovi obrazložitvi, ne more biti odločujoč, temveč lahko le pomeni indic glede cilja, ki ga zasleduje navedeni zakon 34.
34It is for the national court, which enquires as to the true objective pursued by the legislature, to determine whether, viewed objectively, the rules in question ensure the protection of posted workers 35 or, more generally, the prevention of social dumping.
Predložitveno sodi�če, ki se spra�uje o resničnem cilju, ki ga zasleduje zakonodajalec, mora preveriti, ali, gledano objektivno, obravnavani predpisi zagotavljajo varstvo napotenih delavcev 35 ali, �ir�e, preprečitev socialnega dampinga.
Moreover, the court of reference considers that the obligation to comply, at the place where the services are provided, with a collective agreement laying down minimum rates of pay higher than those applicable on the territory of the Federal Republic of Germany under the AEntG exceeds what is necessary to protect workers.
Dalje navedeno sodi�če meni, da obveznost, da se v kraju, kjer se storitve izvajajo, spo�tuje kolektivna pogodba, ki predvideva vi�je minimalne urne postavke, kot se na podlagi AEntG uporabljajo na ozemlju Zvezne republike Nemčije, presega tisto, kar je potrebno za varstvo delavcev.
It considers that what is necessary to protect workers is defined by the mandatory minimum wage, which must be applied on the territory of the Federal Republic of Germany under the AEntG.
Meni namreč, da je to, kar je potrebno za varstvo delavcev, omejeno z obvezno minimalno plačo, kot jo je treba uporabljati na ozemlju Zvezne republike Nemčije na podlagi AEntG.
Hence, in regard to the national court’s observation that the main objective of the legislation at issue in the main proceedings

I do not agree with this analysis proposed by the court of reference, which in essence is supported by the Polish Government.
Ne strinjam se z analizo, ki jo predlaga predložitveno sodi�če in jo v bistvenem podpira poljska vlada.
RÜFFERT wage they would normally be paid in the State in which their employer is established.
RÜFFERT običajno prejmejo v državi, v kateri ima sedež njihov delodajalec.
This law therefore appears to me to ensure the protection of the posted workers.
Zdi se mi, da ta zakon lahko zagotovi varstvo napotenih delavcev.
is to protect German construction undertakings from competition from other Member States, it is for that court to verify whether, on an objective view, that legislation secures the protection of posted workers.
podjetja pred konkurenco iz drugih držav članic, mora to sodi�če preveriti, ali, gledano objektivno, obravnavani predpisi zagotavljajo varstvo napotenih delavcev ali ne.
It is necessary to determine whether those rules confer a genuine benefit on the workers concerned, which significantly augments their social protection. 36
V zvezi s tem je treba preveriti, ali obravnavane določbe zadevnim delavcem podeljujejo resnično ugodnost, ki znatno prispeva k njihovi socialni varnosti 36.
In my view, the Law in question is also an appropriate means of preventing social dumping, in that one of its main aims is to harmonise the terms on which service providers, whether they are established in Germany or not, must pay their workers in the framework of the performance of a public contract.
Menim, da lahko zadevni zakon prav tako prepreči socialni damping, ker je eden izmed njegovih ciljev uskladiti pogoje, v katerih morajo ponudniki storitev, ne glede na to, ali imajo sedež v Nemčiji ali ne, plačati delavce v okviru izvedbe javnega naročila.
It thus ensures that local workers and posted workers on the same site will be paid equally.
Tako zagotavlja, da bodo domači delavci in napoteni delavci na istem gradbi�ču enako plačani.
In order to determine the existence of such a benefit that confers real additional protection on posted workers, 37the court of reference must assess whether the wage protection these workers already enjoy under the legislation and/or collective agreements in force in the State in which the provider of services is established is equivalent or essentially comparable.
Da bi ugotovilo, ali obstaja taka ugodnost, ki napotenim delavcem podeljuje resnično dodatno za�čito 37, mora predložitveno sodi�če presoditi, ali je stopnja varstva, ki jo tem delavcem glede njihovega plačila daje zakonodaja in/ali kolektivne pogodbe, ki veljajo v državi, v kateri ima ponudnik storitev sedež, enakovredna ali bistveno primerljiva. V okviru te presoje je treba upo�tevati bruto znesek plače 38.
In this regard, it is evident from the order for reference that PKZ is accused of having paid the 53 employees engaged on the building site only 46.57% of the applicable minimum wage.
V tej zvezi opozarjam, da je iz predložitvenega sklepa razvidno, da se družbi PKZ očita, da je 53 delavcem na gradbi�ču izplačala le 46,57 % veljavne minimalne plače.
In those circumstances, it appears to be established that compliance with the Landesvergabegesetz would have given these workers genuine additional protection by ensuring that they received a wage that was significantly higher than the
V teh okoli�činah se zdi nesporno, da spo�tovanje deželnega zakona tem delavcem daje resnično dodatno varstvo s tem, da zagotavlja, da prejmejo znatno vi�jo plačo, kot jo

36 – Glej zgoraj navedeno sodbo Wolff & Müller (točka 38).37 – Zgoraj navedena sodba Finalarte in drugi (točka 45). 38 – Sodba z dne 14. aprila 2005 v zadevi Komisija proti Nemčiji (C-341/02, ZOdl., str. I-2733, točka 29).
The fact that Land Niedersachsen chose to take a specific collective agreement rather than the TV Mindestlohn as the benchmark in its Law on the Award of Public Contracts, with the result that the minimum wage to be paid by contractors and their subcontractors at the place where the services are performed is higher than that normally applicable in the construction industry on the territory of the Federal Republic of Germany, is not, in my view, of itself open to challenge under Community law.
Okoli�čina, da se je Land Niedersachsen odločila, da bo kot referenco v svojem zakonu o oddaji javnih naročil navedla posebno kolektivno pogodbo in ne TV Mindestlohn, kar je imelo za posledico, da je minimalna plača, ki jo morajo plačati izbrani ponudniki in njihovi podizvajalci v kraju, kjer se izvajajo storitve, vi�ja od tiste, ki se običajno uporablja v gradbeni�tvu na ozemlju Zvezne republike Nemčije, se mi sama po sebi ne zdi sporna glede na pravo Skupnosti.
39 performing those services, the minimum remuneration prescribed by the collective agreement in force at the place where those services are performed and also undertake to impose the same obligation on their subcontractors.
Na eni strani je težko zanikati, da lahko jamstvo vi�je plače za napotene delavce zagotovi njihovo varstvo 39.
Secondly, and on a more general level, it must not be overlooked that the first paragraph of Article 136 EC lays down that ‘[t]he Community and the Member States, having in mind fundamental social rights …, shall have as their objectives … improved living and working conditions, so as to make possible their harmonisation while the improvement is being maintained, dialogue between management and labour’.
Na drugi strani in na bolj splo�ni ravni pa ne smemo spregledati, da člen 136, prvi odstavek, ES določa, da „[si] Skupnost in države članice […] ob upo�tevanju temeljnih socialnih pravic […] prizadevajo za […] cilje: […] izbolj�anje življenjskih razmer in delovnih pogojev, tako da se ob ohranjanju izbolj�av omogoči njihova uskladitev[, in] dialog med socialnimi partnerji“.
In my view, the objectives of worker protection and the prevention of social dumping could not be achieved as effectively by means of less binding rules with a less restrictive effect on the freedom to provide services.
Menim, da ciljev varstva delavcev in preprečitve socialnega dampinga ni mogoče tako učinkovito doseči z milej�imi ukrepi, ki so manj omejujoči za svobodo opravljanja storitev.
Moreover, the disputed provisions of the Landesvergabegesetz do not, in my opinion, go beyond what is necessary in order to attain the objectives of worker protection and the prevention of social dumping.
Izpodbijane določbe deželnega zakona tudi ne presegajo tistega, kar je potrebno za dosego ciljev varstva delavcev in preprečitve socialnega dampinga.
In addition, as Ireland indicated in its written observations, 40there is nothing to indicate that, taking account of relevant indicators such as the cost of living index, the minimum rates of pay required under the specific collective agreement to which the Landesvergabegesetz refers are disproportionate by comparison with the rates set by the TV Mindestlohn.
Kot je Irska navedla v pisnih stali�čih 40, nič ne dokazuje, da so ob upo�te- vanju upo�tevnih pokazateljev, kot je indeks o življenjskem stro�ku, minimalne urne postavke, ki se zahtevajo na podlagi posebne kolektivne pogodbe, na katero se sklicuje deželni zakon, v nesorazmerju s stopnjami, določenimi s TV Mindestlohn.
The purpose of these provisions is to make it mandatory for service providers involved in the performance of a public contract to pay the rates of remuneration applicable under the specific collective agreement in force at the place where the services are performed.
Namen teh določb je namreč obvezati ponudnike storitev, ki sodelujejo pri izvedbi javnega naročila, da spo�tujejo stopnje plačil, ki se uporabljajo v kraju, kjer se izvajajo storitve.
To that end, they provide first that contracts for building services are awarded only to undertakings which undertake in writing to pay their employees, when
V ta namen določajo, prvič, da se pogodbe o gradnji dodelijo le ponudnikom, ki se pisno zavežejo, da bodo svojim delavcem v zameno za izvajanje zadevnih storitev izplačali najmanj plačo, določeno s
The above analysis cannot, in my view, be brought into question by the Commission’s argument that the Law of a Land which has the purpose of imposing more demanding
Navedene analize po mojem mnenju ne more omajati trditev Komisije, da deželni zakon, katerega cilj naj bi bil določiti strožje pogoje za delo in zaposlitev le za napotene delavce, zaposlene v okviru javnih naročil,
39 — As the German Government indicates in paragraph 63 of its written observations, apart from the fact that specific collective agreements provide for higher minimum rates of pay, it is also interesting to note that the objective of worker protection also lies in the fact that such agreements allow more differentiated and appropriate remuneration according to the work performed.
39 – Kot je navedla nem�ka vlada v točki 63 pisnih stali�č, ne glede na dejstvo, da posebne kolektivne pogodbe predvidevajo vi�je minimalne urne postavke, je prav tako zanimiva ugotovitev, da k cilju za�čititi delavce prispeva tudi dejstvo, da te pogodbe dovoljujejo bolj različno in primerno plačilo glede na izvedeno delo.
I would remind the Court that the wage scale in such agreements is more detailed than that in the TV Mindestlohn and sets different wage levels for different groups of activities.
V zvezi s tem opozarjam, da je razpon plač v tovrstnih pogodbah podrobnej�i kot v TV Mindestlohn in ravni plač določa glede na različne skupine nalog.
40 — Paragraph 26.
40 – Točka 26.
terms and conditions of employment solely for posted workers employed in the framework of public contracts, in other words in only one area of economic life, cannot serve an overriding public interest within the meaning of Article 49 EC nor be an appropriate way of pursuing such an interest.
RÜFFERT z drugimi besedami le v enem delu gospodarskega segmenta, ne more služiti vi�jemu javnemu interesu v smislu člena 49 ES, niti ni primeren za zasledovanje tega interesa.
Secondly, the argument that there is therefore discrimination between workers in the construction industry according to whether the prime contractor is public or private is not, in my opinion, relevant from the point of view of Community law.
Drugič, trditev, da naj bi tako obstajala diskriminacija med delavci v gradbeni�tvu glede na to, ali je izvajalec gradnje javni ali zasebni subjekt, po mojem mnenju ni upo�tevna z vidika prava Skupnosti.
As it stated at the hearing, the Commission alleges that the Landesvergabegesetz creates discrimination between workers in the construction industry, depending on whether the prime contractor is public or private.
Kot je navedla na obravnavi, Komisija očita, da je deželni zakon ustvaril diskriminacijo med delavci v gradbeni�tvu glede na to, ali je izvajalec gradnje javni ali zasebni subjekt.
Furthermore, according to the Commission, if the objective of Land Niedersachsen is truly to protect workers, it should extend this type of measure to all workers in the industry.
Poleg tega ista institucija meni, da bi Land Niedersachsen morala, če je njen cilj resnično za�čititi delavce, tovrstni ukrep raz�iriti na vse delavce v tem sektorju.
I cannot endorse that line of argument, for the following reasons.
S to utemeljitvijo se ne morem strinjati iz naslednjih razlogov.
As I have already indicated, the important point is that the Landesvergabegesetz must comply with the principle of nondiscrimination on the basis of nationality, and thus make service providers subject to the same obligation to pay the minimum wages applicable at the place where the services are performed, whether they be established in Germany or in another Member State.
Kot smo že navedli, je pomembno to, da deželni zakon spo�tuje načelo prepovedi diskriminacije na podlagi državljanstva in s tem ponudnike storitev zavezuje k isti obveznosti izplačila minimalne urne postavke, ki se uporablja v kraju, kjer se izvajajo storitve, ne glede na to, ali imajo ponudniki sedež v Nemčiji ali v drugi državi članici.
Put another way, in my view it is crucial that, in the framework of the performance of the same public contract, local workers and posted workers be paid at the same rate.
Z drugimi besedami, odločilno se mi zdi, da so v okviru izvedbe istega javnega naročila domači in napoteni delavci plačani po enaki postavki.
