The present case relates essentially to restrictions on the persons authorised to carry out insemination — and, therefore, on the conditions governing insemination per se or access to the function of inseminator — regardless of the semen used, and the Commission does not allege that those restrictions were used to control the genetic quality of the breeding animals in a manner for which the Community directives did not provide. 57
Obravnavani primer se v bistvu nana�a na omejitve, ki zadevajo subjekte, poobla�čene za izvajanje postopka osemenjevan- ja – torej na pogoje v zvezi z osemenjevanjem kot takim ali na možnost opravljanja nalog osemenjevalca –, ne glede na uporabljen semenski material, in za katere Komisija ne navaja, da bi bile uporabljene z namenom izvajanja nadzora nad genetsko kakovostjo plemenskega goveda na način, ki ga direktivi Skupnosti ne predvidevata. 57
In my view, it is sufficient to establish that, according to the statements of the French Government, the national rules at issue were designed to protect bovine stock inasmuch as they made it possible to centralise the collection of data on breeding carried out in the territory by means of artificial insemination — that data being needed to implement the programmes of selection of progeny and stock conservation.
Zado�ča že ugotovitev, da je bil namen sporne nacionalne ureditve glede na izjave francoske vlade za�čititi genetsko bogastvo goveda, saj je omogočala centralizirano zbiranje informacij o oploditvah, opravljenih na določenem območju s postopkom umetnega osemenjevanja, torej podatkov, potrebnih za izvajanje selekcijskih programov in testiranj potomcev ter za genetsko ohranjanje.
It seems neither to me, nor to the French Government, that the harmonisation achieved through Directives 77/504, 87/328 and 91/174 prevents the Member States from relying on zootechnical or pedigree requirements to justify national measures which, like those at issue in this case, govern the service of inseminating cattle without involving restrictions on the import of, trade in or use of bovine semen originating in other Member States.
Tako kot francoska vlada tudi jaz menim, da harmonizacija, ki jo določajo direktive 77/504, 87/328 in 91/174, ne prepoveduje državam članicam, da se sklicujejo na zootehni�ke ali genealo�ke razloge, da bi upravi -čile nacionalne ukrepe, s katerimi – kot v obravnavanem primeru – je urejena storitev osemenjevanja, ne da bi ti vplivali na omejevanje uvoza, trženja ali uporabe semenskega materiala goveda, uvoženega iz drugih držav članic.

55 – Zgoraj navedena sodba Nilsson in drugi, točka 29.56 – Zgoraj navedena sodba Gervais in drugi, točka 32.
57 — In Nilsson and Others, cited in footnote 49, paragraph 30, the Court pointed out that, in view of the harmonisation achieved by Directives 77/504 and 87/328, ‘the requirement of authorisation for insemination activities may not be used for the purpose of controlling the genetic quality of breeding animals in a manner not provided for in the dir -ectives’ themselves.
57 – V zgoraj navedeni sodbi Nilsson in drugi (točka 30) je Sodi�če pojasnilo, da ob upo�tevanju harmonizacije, uveljavljene z direktivama 77/504 in 87/328, „pogoja, ki predpisuje pridobitev dovoljenja za opravljanje storitev osemenjevanja, ni mogoče uporabiti za izvajanje nadzora nad genetsko kakovostjo plemenskega goveda na način, ki ga direktivi ne predvidevata“.
However, I fail to see why that centralised collection of data could not have been achieved using measures less restrictive than the regional monopoly on the insemination service accorded to the authorised AICs.
Očitno namreč je, da bi bilo lahko centralizirano zbiranje informacij izvedeno z ukrepi, ki bi obravnavani svobo�čini omejevali bistveno manj kot regionalni monopol na področju storitev osemenjevanja, podeljen odobrenim OS.
The imposition on operators engaged in the artificial insemination of bovine animals of an obligation to forward to a body designated for that purpose information on the breeding carried out could, in my view, have permitted that information to be collected in the same centralised manner, but without creating the serious obstacles to freedom of establishment and the freedom to provide services that this monopoly entailed.
Gospodarskim subjektom, ki izvajajo postopke osemenjevanja goveda, bi bilo na primer lahko naloženo, naj v ta namen določenem organu sporočajo podatke o opravljenih osemenitvah, kar bi po mojem mnenju ravno tako zagotavljalo centralizirano zbiranje enakih podatkov, izognili pa bi se posledicam monopolne ureditve, saj ob tem pravica do ustanavljanja in svobodnega opravljanja storitev ne bi bila resno ovirana.
COMMISSION v FRANCE quality products with high added value, such as mountain cheeses.
KOMISIJA PROTI FRANCIJI razvoj proizvodnje izdelkov z visoko dodano vrednostjo, na primer gorskih sirov.
I therefore agree with the Commission when it observes that, in any case, the national rules at issue went beyond what was necessary in order to achieve the objective pursued of protecting bovine stock.
Zato se strinjam s trditvijo Komisije, da je sporna nacionalna ureditev v vsakem primeru presegla tisto, kar bi bilo potrebno za dosego cilja varstva genetskega bogastva goveda, ki ga je zasledovala.
Land-planning requirements
Razlogi načrtovanjem
In that connection, in my view, it will suffice to point out, as has the Commission, that those claims by the French Government are not supported by any information or statistical data enabling them to be evaluated.
V zvezi s tem sogla�am s Komisijo in ugotavljam, da zado�ča ugotovitev, da ti argumenti francoske vlade niso podprti z nobeno informacijo ali statističnim podatkom, na podlagi katerih bi lahko presojali o njihovi upravičenosti.
Consequently, there is no detailed evidence of the need for the exclusive geographical rights in favour of the authorised AICs in order to guarantee the insemination services in all areas of French territory.
Francoska vlada torej z ničemer ni dokazala, da bi bila geografsko določena izključna pravica v korist odobrenih OS potrebna, da bi se storitev osemenjevanja zagotovila na vseh območjih francoskega ozemlja.
The French Government claims that those rules also pursued a land-planning objective and that the Court had already recognised in its judgment in TK-Heim-dienst 58that an objective of that nature constitutes an overriding reason relating to the public interest.
Francoska vlada trdi, da je sporna nacio -nalna ureditev zasledovala tudi cilje v zvezi s prostorskim načrtovanjem, ki jih je Sodi�če v sodbi v zadevi TK-Heimdienst 58uvrstilo med nujne razloge splo�nega interesa.
That objective required breeders to be able to use the insemination service in uniform conditions throughout French territory.
V skladu s tem ciljem naj bi bilo treba vsem rejcem na celotnem francoskem ozemlju zagotoviti storitev osemenjevanja pod enotnimi pogoji.
Therefore, without it being necessary to consider whether land-planning requirements are in theory capable of justifying restrictions on freedom of establishment and the freedom to provide services, it cannot be considered to have been proved that such requirements existed in this case and were such as to require the establishment of a network of territorially defined monopolies for the provision of the insemination service.
Zato ni treba preučiti, ali so razlogi v zvezi s prostorskim načrtovanjem primerni za utemeljitev ukrepov, ki omejujejo svobodo ustanavljanja in opravljanja storitev, saj ni dokazano, ali so ti razlogi v obravnavanem primeru dejansko podani in ali so tak�ni, da bi zahtevali oblikovanje geografsko omejenih monopolov na področju storitev osemenjevanja.
Because it was barely profitable, however, if no exclusive rights over a defined geographical area for its exercise existed, that service would not have been offered in the areas, amounting to some three quarters of French territory, where there is very little livestock farming.
Če ne bi bila odobrena geografsko določena izključna pravica, pa ta storitev ne bi bila organizirana na nekaterih območjih, ki bi skupaj obsegala kar tri četrtine celotnega ozemlja Francije, ker ne bi bila dovolj donosna, saj je na teh območjih govedoreja premalo razvita.
The French Government states that preserving livestock farming in those zones, where climatic and geographical conditions were not conducive to growing any kind of crop, had enabled it to conserve agricultural activity and the production of
Francoska vlada poudarja, da je spodbujanje ohranjanja živinoreje na teh območjih, za katera so značilne neugodne podnebne in geografske razmere, preprečilo opu�čanje kmetijske dejavnosti in omogočilo
Moreover, as the Commission emphasises, the justification at issue could not, in any event, hold good for those areas of French territory which did not possess the features referred to by the French Government.
Poleg tega – kot poudarja Komisija – ta utemeljitev, tudi če bi bila sprejemljiva, ne bi veljala za tista območja francoskega ozemlja, kjer se okoli�čine razlikujejo od tistih, ki jih navaja vlada tožene države članice.
The protection of public health
Varstvo javnega zdravja
The French Government also invokes public health objectives, in terms of the protection of both animal and human health.
Francoska vlada se sklicuje �e na razloge, povezane z varstvom javnega zdravja, in sicer tako zdravja živali kot zdravja ljudi.
Finally, the issue of a licence served the purpose of protecting human health in terms of food security also, helping to meet the requirement of product traceability recognised by the Community legislature in the form of Regulation (EC) No 178/2002.
Končno, predpisana licenca naj bi bila tudi v skladu s cilji varstva zdravja ljudi z vidika varnosti živil, saj prispeva k zagotavljanju sledljivosti proizvodov, ki jo je zakonodajalec Skupnosti določil v Uredbi (ES) �t. 178/2002.
59 The French Government maintains that the principle of product traceability also applies to semen, which is a living biological product underpinning the process of livestock production, and points out that the national rules required the inseminator to identify the female animals to be inseminated 60and to draw up an insemination list containing, among other things, information about the bull and the cow and the number of injections of semen used.
59 Francoska vlada navaja, da se načelo sledljivosti proizvodov uporablja tudi za semenski material, živ biolo�ki proizvod, ki vstopa v postopek proizvodnje živine, in poudarja, da je nacionalna zakonodaja osemenjevalcu nalagala, naj pred osemenitvijo identificira samice 60ter izpolni potrdilo o osemenitvi s podatki o identiteti bika, samice in s �tevilko pripravka uporabljenega semenskega materiala.
61According to the French Government, the AICs guaranteed the traceability of that semen, by providing for documentary checks, physical checks and checks on the identity of the semen, whatever its provenance.
61OS naj bi zagotavljala sledljivost tega materiala z nadzorovanjem dokumentacije, fizičnim pregledom in preverjanjem identifikacije semena, ne glede na njegov izvor.
In the first place, it submits that the rules relating to the professional qualifications of operators who carry out insemination reflected concerns about the protection of animal health, because the act of insemination must comply with health and safety rules in relation to both the handling of the semen and contact with the animal.
Prvič, ta vlada trdi, da je ureditev v zvezi s strokovno kvalifikacijo oseb, ki opravljajo postopke osemenjevanja, zasledovala cilje varstva zdravja živali, saj je treba v okviru tega postopka spo�tovati higiensko-sanitarna pravila tako pri ravnanju s semenskim materialom kot pri stiku z živaljo.
That act calls for great skill in order to avoid physical harm to the animal artificially inseminated.
Zato morajo biti osemenjevalci strokovno usposobljeni, da bi preprečili nevarnost po�kodb živali, ki so predmet postopka.
In addition, according to the French Government, the very decision to carry out insemination may affect the health of the animal, as the latter may be compromised, in terms of its fertility in particular, as a result of illjudged crossbreeding.
Poleg tega lahko odločitve v zvezi z osemenjevanjem po mnenju francoske vlade vplivajo na zdravje te živali, ki je lahko ogroženo, zlasti z vidika plodnosti, če izbor semena ni premi�ljen.
It seems patent to me that, as the Commission has observed, the considerations set out in points 86 and 87 above cannot justify the restrictions of freedom of establishment and the freedom to provide services in question.
Kot je v zvezi s tem poudarila Komisija, menim, da utemeljitev, povzeta v točkah 86 in 87, očitno ni dovolj tehtna, da bi upravičila omejevanje svobode ustanavljanja in opravljanja storitev.
Indeed, as the Commission’s representative confirmed at the hearing, in these proceedings no claim has been made against the Member State concerned regarding the requirement of
Kot je potrdil zastopnik Komisije na obravnavi, ta namreč državi članici ne očita niti tega, da je predpisala licenco za osemenjevalca, niti tega, da je eden

In the second place, the system of inseminators’ licences, which included an investigation of fitness for the task, was necessary in order to safeguard also the health of operators carrying out insemination, an act involving risks in terms of both contact with a large animal and the use of liquid nitrogen, an extremely hazardous substance, in that it can cause severe burns on contact.
Drugič, ureditev izdajanja licenc za osemenjevalca, ki predvideva preverjanje usposobljenosti in primernosti prosilca za opravljanje teh nalog, naj bi bila nujna tudi z vidika zavarovanja zdravja osebe, ki izvaja postopke osemenjevanja, saj so ti lahko nevarni, ker je osemenjevalec v stiku z razmeroma težko živaljo, tekoči du�ik, uporabljen za zamrzovanje semena, pa lahko povzroči hude kožne opekline.

COMMISSION v FRANCE to provide services resulting from those rules in relation to the service of artificially inseminating cattle.
KOMISIJA PROTI FRANCIJI razlogov Sodi�ču predlagam, naj tožbi Komisije ugodi v delu, ki se nana�a na navedeno omejevanje.
V — Costs an inseminator’s licence or the condition governing the issue of that licence, consisting of the submission of a certificate of fitness for the duties of an inseminator.
od pogojev za pridobitev licence spričevalo o usposobljenosti za opravljanje nalog oseme -njevalca.
The subject of the dispute is in fact the conferring of exclusive rights over a defined geographical area on authorised AICs and the condition governing the issue of the licence, namely the conclusion of an agreement with an authorised AIC.
Predmet očitkov je geografsko določena izključna pravica, podeljena odobrenim OS, in pogoj, v skladu s katerim je treba za pridobitev licence skleniti pogodbo z enim od odobrenih OS.
The French Government has not explained why, in the absence of such measures, and notwithstanding the checking of fitness for the duties of an inseminator required by the national rules governing the issue of an inseminator’s licence, human and animal health would have been put at risk.
Francoska vlada ni pojasnila, zakaj bi bilo zdravje ljudi in živali ogroženo, če država članica teh ukrepov ne bi uvedla, glede na to, da je bilo z nacionalno zakonodajo določeno, da je treba preveriti, ali prosilec za licenco izpolnjuje pogoj usposobljenosti za osemenjevalca.
Pursuant to Article 69(2) of the Rules of Procedure of the Court of Justice, the unsuccessful party is to be ordered to pay the costs if they have been applied for in the successful party’s pleadings.
V skladu s členom 69(2) Poslovnika Sodi�ča se neuspeli stranki naloži plačilo stro�kov, če so bili ti prigla�eni.
Pursuant to Article 69(3), where each party succeeds on some and fails on other heads, the Court may order that the costs be shared or that the parties are to bear their own costs.
V skladu s členom 69(3) tega poslovnika Sodi�če odloči, da se stro�ki delijo ali da vsaka stranka nosi svoje stro�ke, če vsaka stranka uspe samo deloma.
As regards the requirement of product traceability, it is sufficient to point out that neither the obligations imposed on inseminators, referred to by the French Government, nor the checks on the semen by the authorised AICs, necessarily require exclusive rights over a defined geographical area in favour of those centres in relation to insemination services.
Glede sledljivosti proizvodov pa zado�ča ugotovitev, da geografsko določena izključna pravica za opravljanje storitev osemenjevanja, odobrena OS, ni nujna niti za nadzor nad izpolnjevanjem obveznosti osemenjevalcev, na katere se sklicuje francoska vlada, niti za preverjanje semenskega materiala s strani OS.
It seems to me that it is perfectly possible to devise and carry out such obligations and checks in a system which does not provide for such exclusive rights.
Izpolnjevanje teh obveznosti bi bilo namreč lahko zagotovljeno tudi v okviru ureditve, ki tak�ne izključne pravice ne bi predvidevala.
Consequently, it is my view that the reasons relied on by the French Government in these proceedings to justify the national rules at issue fail to meet the criteria established by the caselaw cited at point 64 above and cannot, therefore, justify the restrictions of freedom of establishment and the freedom
Zato menim, da razlogi, ki jih v tem postopku navaja francoska vlada v utemeljitev sporne nacionalne ureditve, ne izpolnjujejo meril, določenih v sodni praksi, navedeni v točki 64 teh sklepnih predlogov, in torej ne morejo upravičiti omejevanja pravice do ustanavljanja in svobode opravljanja storitev v zvezi z umetnim osemenjevanjem goveda, ki je posledica te ureditve. Iz teh
If, as I propose, the Court upholds the application in part only, that is to say, in so far as it concerns the restrictions of freedom of establishment and the freedom to provide services with reference to the service of carrying out the artificial insemination of cattle only, but not also the alleged restrictions of those freedoms in relation to the bovine semen distribution service, it seems to me to be fair to order that the costs be shared between the parties.
Če bo Sodi�če odločilo tako, kot predlagam, in bo tožbi ugodilo samo deloma, to je samo glede omejevanja pravice do ustanavljanja in svobode opravljanja storitev, ki se nana�a na storitev umetnega osemenjevanja goveda, ne pa tudi glede zatrjevanega omejevanja istih svobo�čin v zvezi s storitvijo distribucije semenskega materiala govedi, menim, da bi bilo pravično, če bi odločilo v smislu porazdelitve stro�kov med strankama.
To be more precise, I suggest that the French Republic should be ordered to pay two thirds of the total costs and the Commission to pay the remaining third.
Natančneje, Sodi�ču predlagam, naj toženi državi naloži plačilo v vi�ini dveh tretjin vseh stro�kov, Komisiji pa plačilo preostale tretjine.
In the light of the above considerations, I propose that the Court should:
Glede na zgornje ugotovitve Sodi�ču predlagam, naj:
— declare that, by conferring on the artificial insemination centres authorised in its territory the exclusive right to provide the service of artificially inseminating cattle within the area defined in the measure authorising the opening and operation of any such centre, and, in connection therewith, by making the issue of an inseminator’s licence subject to the conclusion of an agreement between the managing director of a centre and the person applying for a licence, the French Republic has failed to fulfil its obligations under Articles 43 EC and 49 EC;
– ugotovi, da Francoska republika s tem, da je odobrenim osemenjevalnim sredi�čem na svojem ozemlju podelila izključno pravico za opravljanje storitev umetnega osemenjevanja goveda znotraj območja, določenega v odločbi o izdaji dovoljenja za začetek in opravljanje dejavnosti OS, in s tem da je izdajo licence za osemenjevalca pogojevala s sklenitvijo pogodbe med predsednikom enega izmed navedenih sredi�č in prosilcem za licenco, ni izpolnila obveznosti, ki izhajajo iz členov 43 ES in 49 ES;
— dismiss the remainder of the action as inadmissible;
– v preostalem tožbo zavrne kot nedopustno;
— order the French Republic to pay two thirds of the total costs and the Commission of the European Communities to pay the remaining third.
– Francoski republiki naloži plačilo v vi�ini dveh tretjin vseh stro�kov, Komisiji Evropskih skupnosti pa plačilo preostale tretjine stro�kov.

In its application the Commission of the European Communities seeks a declaration by the Court that, by allowing only bovine insemination centres authorised in France to carry out activities related to the artificial insemination of bovine animals, inter alia by establishing a general system of exclusive rights over a defined geographical area in favour of those centres and by making the activity of artificial insemination subject to the possession of an inseminator’s licence, the French Republic has failed to fulfil its obligations under Articles 43 and 49 EC.
Komisija Evropskih skupnosti s tožbo Sodi�ču predlaga, naj ugotovi, da Francoska republika, s tem da je izvajanje dejavnosti, povezanih z osemenjevanjem goveda, pridržala le osemenjevalnim sredi�čem, odobrenim v Franciji, in sicer zlasti tako, da je določila splo�no ureditev, na podlagi katere se osemenjevalnim sredi�čem podeli geografsko določena izključna pravica, in da je za opravljanje storitev osemenjevanja predpisala licence za osemenjevalce, ni izpolnila obveznosti iz členov 43 in 49 ES.
