The contracting authority may state in the contract documents, or be obliged by a Member State to do so, the authority or authorities from which a tenderer may obtain the appropriate information on the obligations relating to the employment protection provisions and the working conditions which are in force in the Member State, region or locality in which the works are to be executed and which shall be applicable to the works carried out on site during the performance of the contract.
V razpisni dokumentaciji naročniki lahko navedejo ali pa morajo navesti, kadar to zahteva država članica, organ ali organe, od katerih lahko ponudnik dobi ustrezne informacije o obveznostih v zvezi z določbami o varnosti zaposlitve in delovnih pogojih [za delo], ki veljajo v državi članici, regiji ali lokalni skupnosti, v katerih se bodo gradnje izvajale, in ki se uporabljajo za gradnje, opravljene na tej lokaciji med izpolnjevanjem naročila.

This directive was repealed and replaced by Directive 2004/18/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 31 March 2004 on the coordination of procedures for the award of public works contracts, public supply contracts and public service contracts (OJ 2004 L 134, p.
To direktivo je razveljavila in nadomestila Direktiva 2004/18/ES Evropskega parlamenta in Sveta z dne 31. marca 2004 o usklajevanju postopkov za oddajo javnih naročil gradenj, blaga in storitev (UL L 134, str. 114), katere rok za prenos se je iztekel 31. januarja 2006.
11 — It is evident from the order for reference that the value of the public contract at issue in the main proceedings is EUR 8 493 331 before value added tax (‘before VAT’), in other words above the threshold for the application of Directive 93/37, which corresponds to the ecu equivalent of 5 million special drawing rights (SDRs), or EUR 6 242 028 (see in this regard ‘Values of thresholds under the directives on public procurement applicable from 1 January 2002’ (OJ 2001 C 332, p. 21)).

Determination of the minimum wage in the construction industry
Določitev minimalne plače v gradbeni�tvu
In this Member State, collective agreements are usually concluded between trade unions and employers’ organisations.
V tej državi članici kolektivne pogodbe običajno sklepajo sindikati delavcev in združenja delodajalcev.
For a particular industry, they may cover part or all of the territory of the Federal Republic of Germany.
Lahko se uporabljajo za poseben sektor, za del oziroma celotno ozemlje Zvezne republike Nemčije.
At the federal level, the TV Mindestlohn, which applies to undertakings covered by the collective agreement laying down a general framework for the construction industry, sets the level of the minimum wage for two categories according to the employee’s level of qualification, and at different levels for ‘old’ and ‘new’ Länder.
Na zvezni ravni TV Mindestlohn, ki se uporablja za podjetja, ki sodijo na področje uporabe kolektivne pogodbe, ki določa splo�ni okvir za gradbeno industrijo, določa minimalno raven plače za dve kategoriji v skladu s stopnjo poklicne usposobljenosti delavca in glede na to, ali gre za „stare“ ali „nove“ Länder.
It provides that the minimum wage consists of the hourly pay provided for by that agreement and the bonus for the construction industry, which together make up the total hourly pay under the agreement.
Določa, da je minimalna plača sestavljena iz urne postavke, ki jo določa ta pogodba, in dodatka za sektor gradbeni�tva, ki skupaj oblikujeta skupno pogodbeno urno postavko.
It also indicates that the right to higher wages under other collective agreements or special agreements is not affected by the provision laying down the total hour- ly pay under the agreement for categories 1 and 2.
Prav tako določa, da določba, ki predvideva skupno pogodbeno urno plačilo kategorij 1 in 2, ne vpliva na pravico do vi�jih plač na podlagi drugih kolektivnih pogodb ali posebnih sporazumov.
The provisions of the TV Mindestlohn were declared to be of universal application by a regulation on working conditions
Ta kolektivna pogodba, ki se uporablja na celotnem ozemlju Zvezne republike Nemčije, pa ne vsebuje pravil o minimalni plači.
The construction industry is governed by a collective agreement of 4 July 2002 laying down a general framework for the construction industry (Bundesrahmentarifvertrag für das Baugewerbe).
Ta pravila vsebujejo kolektivna pogodba, ki določa minimalno plačo v gradbenem sektorju na ozemlju Zvezne republike
(b) The specific collective agreements
b) Posebne kolektivne pogodbe
Most of these specific collective agreements (Entgelttarifverträge) have limited territorial scope.
Večina posebnih kolektivnih pogodb (Entgelttarifvertraege) ima omejeno krajevno področje uporabe.
Moreover, they are not normally declared to be universally applicable, which means that they are not all mandatorily applicable to all employees in the industry concerned.
Poleg tega običajno niso razgla�ene za splo�no uporabne, kar pomeni, da se vse ne uporabljajo obvezno za vse delavce v zadevni panogi.
It should be noted that under German law a declaration of universal application means that the collective agreement in question is applicable to all employers and employees in the industry concerned in a defined territory.
Navesti je treba, da po nem�kem pravu razglasitev splo�ne uporabe kolektivne pogodbe pomeni, da se ta pogodba uporablja za vse delodajalce in delavce v zadevni panogi na določenem ozemlju.
It therefore extends the scope of such an agreement to employers and employees not belonging to the contracting trade union organisations.
Področje uporabe take pogodbe tako raz�irja na delodajalce in delavce, ki niso člani pogodbenih sindikalnih organizacij.
The Federal Ministry of Employment may make such a declaration of universal application either under Paragraph 1(3a) of the German Law on the Posting of Workers (ArbeitnehmerEntsendegesetz) 13of 26 February 1996 for sectors governed by that law, or under Article 5 of the Law on Collective Agreements (Tarifvertragsgesetz).
Tako razglasitev splo�ne uporabe lahko opravi zvezni minister za delo na podlagi člena 1(3a) nem�kega zakona o napotitvi delavcev (ArbeitnehmerEntsendegesetz) 13 z dne 26. februarja 1996 za sektorje, ki jih ureja ta zakon, ali na podlagi člena 5 zakona o kolektivnih pogodbah (Tarifvertragsgesetz).
According to the written reply from Land Niedersachsen to a question from the Court, the relevant collective agreement in the present case is the collective agreement on wages and professional training allowances (Tarifvertrag zur Regelung der Löhne und Ausbildungsvergütungen) of 4 July 2003, in the version resulting from the amending collective agreement of 29 October 2003.
Iz pisnega odgovora Land Niedersachsen na vpra�anje Sodi�ča je mogoče razbrati, da je v tej zadevi upo�tevna kolektivna pogodba v zvezi s plačami in dodatki za poklicno usposabljanje (Tarifvertrag zur Regelung der Löhne und Ausbildungsvergütungen) z dne 4. julija 2003, v besedilu, ki izhaja iz spremembe kolektivne pogodbe z dne 29. oktobra 2003.
This collective agreement has not been declared to be universally applicable.
Ta kolektivna pogodba ni bila razgla�ena za splo�no uporabno.
According to the information at my disposal, it appears that the TV Mindestlohn which was applicable at the time of the facts of the dispute in the main proceedings is that of 29 October 2003, which was in force from 1 November 2003 to 31 August 2005.
Po podatkih, ki jih imam na voljo, se zdi, da je bil TV Mindestlohn, ki je veljal v času dejanskega stanja spora o glavni stvari, tisti z dne 29. oktobra 2003, ki je veljal med 1. novembrom 2003 in 31. avgustom 2005.
This collective agreement was declared
Ta kolektivna pogodba je bila razgla-
The collective agreement in question has now been replaced by the TV Mindestlohn of 29 July 2005, which is applicable from 1 September 2005 to 31 August 2008 and was declared to be of universal application by a regulation of 29 August 2005 (Bundesanzeiger No 164 of 31 August 2005, p. 13199).
Navedeno kolektivno pogodbo je sedaj nadomestil TV Mindestlohn z dne 29. julija 2005, ki se uporablja od 1. septembra 2005 do 31. avgusta 2008 in katerega splo�na uporaba je bila določena z Uredbo z dne 29. avgusta 2005 (Bundesanzeiger �t. 164, 31. avgust 2005, str. 13199).

RÜFFERT sisches Landesvergabegesetz; the ‘Landesvergabegesetz’) lays down rules for the award of public contracts with a value of EUR 10 000 or more.
RÜFFERT gabegesetz, v nadaljevanju: deželni zakon) vsebuje pravila s področja oddaje javnih naročil z vrednostjo najmanj 10.000 EUR.
Its statement of reasons proclaims:
V obrazložitvi je določeno:
It is evident from the file that the wage levels set in these specific collective agreements are, in practice, well above the minimum wages required throughout Germany under the TV Mindestlohn.
Iz spisa izhaja, da so ravni plač, ki so določene v posebnih kolektivnih pogodbah, v praksi znatno vi�je od minimalnih plač, ki so na podlagi TV Mindestlohn predpisane za celotno Nemčijo.
Moreover, the wage scale set out in those agreements is more detailed than that contained in the TV Mindestlohn and sets different wage levels for different groups of activities.
Poleg tega je razpon plač v navedenih pogodbah določen podrobneje kot v TV Mindestlohn in določa ravni plač za različne skupine nalog.
‘The Law counteracts distortions of competition which arise in the field of construction and public transport services resulting from the use of cheap labour and alleviates burdens on social security schemes.
„Ta zakon se bori proti motnjam konkurence, ki se pojavljajo v sektorjih gradbeni�tva in lokalnega javnega prevoza kot posledica zaposlovanja poceni delovne sile, in zmanj�uje bremena, ki nastajajo za sisteme socialne varnosti.
It provides, to that end, that public contracting authorities may award contracts for building works and public transport services only to undertakings which pay the wage laid down in the collective agreements at the place where the service is provided.’
V ta namen določa, da imajo naročniki pravico oddati naročilo za gradnje in lokalni javni prevoz le podjetjem, ki izplačujejo plače, določene v kolektivnih pogodbah v kraju, kjer se storitve izvajajo.“
In Germany, Directive 96/71 was incorporated into national law by the AEntG.
V Nemčiji je AEntG v notranje pravo prenesel Direktivo 96/71.
Paragraph 1(1) of that law provides, inter alia, that the legal rules resulting from a collective agreement governing the construction industry which is declared to be universally applicable, which relate to minimum pay, shall also apply to an employment relationship linking an employer established outside Germany and his employee working within the territory covered by that collective agreement.
Člen 1(1) tega zakona med drugim določa, da so pravne norme iz kolektivne pogodbe za gradbeno industrijo, ki so razgla�ene za splo�no uporabne in katerih predmet je minimalna plača, obvezne tudi za delovno razmerje med delodajalcem s sedežem v tujini in njegovim delavcem, ki opravlja delo v kraju, kjer se uporablja ta kolektivna pogodba.
Hence, such an employer must, as a minimum, grant to his posted employee the working conditions established in that collective agreement.
Delodajalec mora tako svojemu delavcu zagotoviti vsaj pogoje za delo, ki so določeni v omenjeni navedeni pogodbi.
Under Paragraph 3(1) of the Landesvergabegesetz, contracts for building services are awarded only to undertakings which, when lodging a tender, undertake in writing to pay their employees, when performing those services, at least the remuneration prescribed by the collective agreement in force at the place where those services are performed.
V skladu s členom 3(1) deželnega zakona se pogodbe o naročilih gradnje dodelijo le podjetjem, ki se pri oddaji ponudbe pisno zavežejo, da bodo svojim delavcem v zameno za izvajanje zadevnih storitev izplačala najmanj plačo, določeno s kolektivno pogodbo, ki se uporablja v kraju, kjer se te storitve izvajajo, in to v trenutku, ki ga ta kolektivna pogodba določa.

Under Paragraph 7(1) of the Landesvergabegesetz, the public contracting authority is entitled to carry out checks to verify compliance with the conditions laid down for the award of contracts.
Na podlagi člena 7(1) deželnega zakona je naročnik upravičen izvajati nadzor, da preveri spo�tovanje pogojev, ki so določeni za oddajo naročila.
To this end, it may view the wage statements of contractors and subcontractors and the documents concerning the payment of taxes and contributions and the contracts for works concluded between contractor and subcontractor.

Paragraph 8 of the Law, which relates to sanctions, reads as follows:
Člen 8 tega zakona, ki zadeva sankcije, določa:
The contractor shall be obliged to pay a contractual penalty under the first sentence also in the event that there is nonfulfilment on the part of a subcontractor used by it or a subcontractor used by that subcontractor, unless the contractor was not aware or could not have been aware of the
Izbrani ponudnik je zavezan plačati pogodbeno kazen iz prvega stavka tudi, kadar
I hereby undertake to impose on the subcontractors the obligations laid down in Paragraphs 3, 4 and 7(2) of the [Landesvergabegesetz] applicable to me and to monitor compliance with these obligations by the subcontractors.
Zavezujem se, da bom tudi podizvajalcem naložil obveznosti, ki jih imam na podlagi členov 3, 4 in 7(2) [deželnega zakona], in da bom nadzoroval, ali podizvajalci spo�tujejo navedene obveznosti.
It is apparent from the order for reference that in the autumn of 2003 Land Niedersachsen, following a public invitation to tender, awarded the defendant a contract for the structural work in the building of Göttingen-Rosdorf prison.
Iz predložitvenega sklepa izhaja, da je Land Niedersachsen po izvedenem javnem razpisu jeseni 2003 toženi stranki dodelila naročilo za izvedbo grobih gradbenih del na zgradbi zapora Göttingen-Rosdorf.
The amount of the contract was EUR 8 493 331, plus VAT.
Znesek naročila je zna�al 8.493.331 EUR brez DDV.
The contract contained an ‘Agreement on compliance with the provisions of the collective agreement when performing building services’ stipulating in particular the following undertakings made by the defendant:
Pogodba je vsebovala „dogovor o spo�tovanju določb kolektivnih pogodb ob izvr�itvi del“, s katerim je tožena stranka sprejela naslednje zaveze:
I hereby agree that failure to satisfy the requirements referred to in Paragraph 3 of the [Landesvergabegesetz] by me or my subcontractors and any nonfulfilment stemming from gross negligence or repeated nonfulfilment of the obligations laid down in Paragraphs 4 and 7(2) of the [said Law] shall entitle the contracting authority to terminate the contract without notice.’
Strinjam se, da lahko naročnik, če sam – ali moji podizvajalci – ne bom izpolnil obveznosti iz člena 3 [deželnega zakona] in če bo pri�lo do neizpolnitve obveznosti iz členov 4 in 7(2) navedenega zakona iz hude malomarnosti ali bo �lo za ponavljajočo neizpolnitev, razdre pogodbo brez predhodnega obvestila.“
‘My/our tender is based on the following agreement:
„Moja/Na�a ponudba temelji na naslednjem dogovoru:
As regards Paragraph 3 of the [Landesvergabegesetz] (Declaration regarding payment of the collectively agreed wage):
V zvezi s členom 3 [deželnega zakona] (zaveza spo�tovanja kolektivnih pogodb):
The defendant used the firm PKZ Pracownie Konserwacji Zabytków sp. zoo (‘PKZ’) from Tarnów (Poland) which has a branch in Wedemark (Germany) as a subcontractor.
Tožena stranka je izkoristila storitve družbe PKZ Pracownie Konserwacji Zabytkow Sp. zoo (v nadaljevanju: družba PKZ), ki ima sedež v Tarnowu (Poljska) in podružnico v Wedemarku (Nemčija), kot podizvajalca.
During the summer of 2004, the firm PKZ came under suspicion of having employed Polish workers on the site at a wage below that stipulated in the applicable collective agreement.
Poleti 2004 je bila družba PKZ osumljena, da je na gradbi�ču zaposlila poljsko delovno silo za nižjo plačo, kot jo določa kolektivna pogodba, ki se uporablja.
After investigations had commenced, both the defendant and Land Niedersachsen terminated the contract for work concluded between them. Land
Po začetku preiskave sta tako tožena stranka kot Land Niedersachsen razdrli podjemno pogodbo, ki sta jo sklenili. Land Niedersachsen je to
In the event that I am awarded a contract, I hereby undertake to pay the workers employed in my undertaking, in managing the work connected with the commissioned services, at least the remuneration prescribed by the collective agreement at the place where these services are performed, as set out in the list of representative collective agreements referred to under No 01 “Construction industry” …
Če mi bo naročilo dodeljeno, se zavezujem, da bom delavcem, zaposlenim v mojem podjetju, kot plačilo za izvr�ene zaupane storitve izplačal minimalno plačo, ki velja v kraju izvr�itve na podlagi kolektivne pogodbe, navedene na seznamu reprezentativnih kolektivnih pogodb pod �t. 1 ‚Gradnja in javna dela‘ […]
Niedersachsen based the termination inter alia on the fact that the defendant had failed to fulfil its contractual obligation to comply with the collective agreements.
razdrtje obrazložila zlasti z dejstvom, da tožena stranka ni izpolnila pogodbene obveznosti spo�tovanja kolektivnih pogodb.
A punishment order, which contained the accusation that the 53 employees engaged on the building site had been paid only 46.57% of the statutory minimum wage, was issued to the persons primarily responsible at PKZ.
Poleg tega je bil zoper glavne odgovorne osebe družbe PKZ izdan kazenski nalog, v katerem jim je bilo očitano, da so 53 delavcem, ki so delali na gradbi�ču, izplačali le 46,57 % predpisane minimalne plače.
Land Niedersachsen applied for application of the penalty clause, maintaining that the breaches by the subcontractor must have been known to the defendant and that the payment of wages at below the collectively agreed rate constituted a separate infringement for each employee, with the result that a penalty of 10% of the contract value was appropriate.
Land Niedersachsen je zahtevala uporabo kazenske klavzule in navedla, da bi tožena stranka morala vedeti za neizpolnitve obveznosti podizvajalca in da plačilo nižjih plač, kot jih predpisuje kolektivna pogodba, pomeni ločeno neizpolnitev obveznosti za vsakega delavca, tako da je primerna kazen v vi�ini 10 % zneska naročila.
The court of reference observes in this regard that the commitment to comply with the collective agreements, which construction companies of other Member States must make under the Landesvergabegesetz, obliges them to adapt the wages they pay to their workers to the normally higher level of remuneration in force at the place where the work is carried out in Germany.
Predložitveno sodi�če v tej zvezi ugotavlja, da zaveza spo�tovanja kolektivnih pogodb, ki jih morajo sprejeti gradbena podjetja s sedežem v drugih državah članicah na podlagi deželnega zakona, ta zavezuje, da plače, ki jih izplačujejo svojim zaposlenim, uskladijo na pogosto vi�jo raven plačila, ki ustreza kraju, kjer se opravljajo storitve v Nemčiji.
As a result, they lose the competitive advantage which they enjoy by reason of their lower wage costs.
S tem naj bi ta podjetja izgubila konkurenčno prednost, ki jo imajo na podlagi nižjih stro�kov za plače.
Consequently, according to the court of reference, the obligation to pay the collectively agreed wage constitutes an impediment to market access for persons or undertakings from other Member States.
Obveznost spo�tovanja kolektivnih pogodb naj bi zato pomenila oviro za vstop fizičnih ali pravnih oseb, ki prihajajo iz drugih držav članic.
Furthermore, the court of reference expresses doubt as to whether the obligation to pay the collectively agreed wage is justified by overriding reasons of public interest.
Dalje predložitveno sodi�če dvomi, ali zavezo spo�tovanja kolektivnih pogodb upravičujejo vi�ji razlogi v javnem interesu.
It found that the defendant’s claim based on the contract for works had been extinguished by offsetting owing to application of the contractual penalty in the amount of EUR 84 934.31, that is to say 1% of the amount of the contract, and dismissed the remainder of the action.
Ugotovilo je namreč, da je terjatev, ki jo je tožena stranka imela na podlagi podjemne pogodbe, ugasnila s kompenzacijo zaradi uporabe pogodbene kazni v vi�ini 84.934,31 EUR, kar predstavlja 1 % zneska naročila, in v preostalem delu zavrnilo zahtevo.
It finds in favour of the view that the obligation to pay the collectively agreed wage cannot be considered to meet overriding requirements relating to the public interest.
Izreklo se je v prid tezi, da ni mogoče �teti, da obveznost spo�tovanja kolektivnih pogodb ustreza vi�jim razlogom v javnem interesu.
To the extent that it contributes to protecting German building undertakings from competition from other Member States, in the
Ta obveznost naj bi, ker prispeva k zaprtju trga, ki nem�ka gradbena podjetja
