The EnWG was adopted for the purpose of transposing Directive 2003/54.
EnWG je bil sprejet za prenos Direktive 2003/54.
Points 16 and 17 of Paragraph 3 of the EnWG define energy supply systems as ‘electricity and gas supply systems passing through one or more voltage levels or pressure levels’ and general supply systems as ‘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’.
V členu 3, točki 16 in 17, tega zakona so omrežja za oskrbo z energijo opredeljena kot „omrežja za oskrbo z električno energijo in plinom, ki prehajajo prek ene ali več stopenj napetosti oziroma ravni pritiska“; omrežja za oskrbo z energijo, ki so namenjena splo�ni oskrbi, pa kot „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 med gradnjo omrežja, temveč so načeloma odprta za dobavo vsem končnim odjemalcem“.
Point 18 of Paragraph 3 of that Law defines the distribution system operator as any natural or legal person responsible for operating energy supply systems.
V členu 3, točka 18, istega zakona je podjetje, ki upravlja omrežja za oskrbo z energijo, opredeljeno kot vsaka fizična ali pravna oseba, ki upravlja omrežje za oskrbo z energijo.
Part 3 of the EnWG includes Paragraphs 20 and 21.
Poglavje 3 EnWG med drugim vsebuje člena 20 in 21.
The first sentence of Paragraph 20(1) provides that operators of energy supply systems ‘shall in accordance with objectively justified criteria grant anyone access to their system without discrimination and shall publish on the Internet the conditions, including specimen contracts, and charges for such system access’.
Navedeni člen 20(1), prvi stavek, določa, da morajo upravljavci omrežja za oskrbo z energijo „v skladu z objektivno določenimi merili vsakomur nediskriminatorno omogočiti dostop do svojega omrežja in na internetu objaviti pogoje, vključno z vzorci pogodb in pristojbinami“.
Paragraph 21(1) of the EnWG provides:
V členu 21(1) EnWG je določeno:
‘Conditions and charges for system access shall be appropriate, non-discrim-inatory, transparent and no less favourable than those which in practice or for costing purposes are applied and charged by system operators in comparable situations for service provision within their undertaking or to connected or associated undertakings’.
„Pogoji in pristojbine za dostop do omrežja morajo biti ustrezni, nediskriminatorni, pregledni in nič manj ugodni kot pogoji in pristojbine, ki jih v praksi ali za namene vrednotenja uporabljajo oziroma zaračunavajo upravljavci omrežja v primerljivih situacijah za storitve v okviru njihovega podjetja ali priključenih ali pridruženih podjetij.“
Paragraph 110(1) of the EnWG lays down the conditions under which the status of site network may be obtained and states the legal consequences of that status as follows:
V členu 110(1) EnWG so določeni pogoji za pridobitev statusa omrežja na območju obratovalnega sistema in navedene pravne posledice tega statusa:
1. are located on a geographically connected operation zone and which predominantly serve to supply the energy needs of the undertaking itself or of connected undertakings within the meaning of point 38 of Paragraph 3 of this Law,
1. se nahajajo na obratovalnem območju, ki je prostorsko povezano, in ki služijo zlasti oskrbi z energijo samega podjetja ali priključenih podjetij v smislu člena 3, točka 38,
2. are located on a geographically connected private zone and which enable the system operator or his representative in pursuit of a common primary commercial purpose,
2. se nahajajo na zasebnem območju, ki je prostorsko povezano, in ki upravljavcu omrežja ali njegovemu zastopniku omogočajo zasledovanje glavnega skupnega poslovnega cilja, a) ki je več kot sklepanje najemnih ali zakupnih pogodb in b) ki bi bilo z uporabo določb, navedenih v začetnem delu tega stavka, nerazumno ovirano, ali
3. are located on a closely geographically connected zone and serve predominantly their own supply purposes, on condition that the energy supply system does not serve to provide general supply within the meaning of point 17 of Paragraph 3 of this Law and that the operator of the site network or his representative possess such staff, technical and economic resources as to ensure the longterm operation of the system in accordance with the provisions of this Law.’
3. se nahajajo na območju, ki je tesno povezano, in so namenjena zlasti lastnim oskrbovalnim potrebam, pod pogojem, da omrežje za oskrbo z energijo ni namenjeno splo�ni oskrbi v smislu člena 3, točka 17, tega zakona in da imata upravljavec omrežja na območju obratovalnega sistema ali njegov zastopnik tako osebje, tehnična in finančna sredstva, ki zagotavljajo dolgoročno upravljanje omrežja v skladu z določbami tega zakona.“
Citiworks is an electricity supply undertaking incorporated under German law.
Družba citiworks je družba nem�kega prava, ki se ukvarja z oskrbo z električno energijo.
Since the beginning of 2004 it has supplied electricity to the branch of DFS Deutsche Flugsicherung GmbH located on the site of Leipzig/Halle Airport.
Od začetka leta 2004 oskrbuje z električno energijo anteno družbe DFS Deutsche Flugsicherung GmbH, ki se nahaja na letali�ču Leipzig/Halle.
The latter undertaking is wholly owned by the German State and is responsible for air traffic control in Germany.
Slednja družba je v 100-odstotni lasti zvezne države in je zadolžena za nadzor zračnega prometa v Nemčiji.
FLH is the undertaking which operates Leipzig/Halle Airport.
Družba FLH je družba, ki upravlja letali�če Leipzig/Halle.
In that capacity, it maintains an energy supply system by which it meets its own electricity requirements and those of 93 other undertakings established on the airport site (‘the system at issue in the main proceedings’).
V okviru tega upravlja omrežje za oskrbo z energijo, ki z električno energijo oskrbuje njo in 93 drugih podjetij, ki se nahajajo na letali�ču (v nadaljevanju: zadevno omrežje v postopku v glavni stvari).
During 2004, that system supplied in total approximately 22 200 MWh, of which 85.4% was used by FLH itself.
Leta 2004 je bila količina energije, porabljena prek tega omrežja, približno 22.200 MWh, od tega je 85,4 odstotka porabila družba FLH.
FLH applied for the system at issue in the main proceedings to be classified as a site network within the meaning of Paragraph 110 of the EnWG.
Družba FLH je zahtevala, da se zadevno omrežje v postopku v glavni stvari prizna kot omrežje na območju obratovalnega sistema v smislu člena 110 EnWG.
During the inquiry into that application, on 20 January 2006, the regulatory authority invited citiworks to intervene.
Pristojni organ je 20. januarja 2006 v okviru postopka o tej zahtevi pozval družbo citiworks naj intervenira.
By decision of 12 July 2006, the regulatory authority granted FLH’s application.
Pristojni organ je z odločbo z dne 12. julija 2006 ugodil zahtevi družbe FLH.
Citiworks appealed against that finding to the Oberlandesgericht Dresden (Higher Regional Court, Dresden) (Germany).
Družba citiworks je pri Oberlandesgericht Dresden vložila tožbo zoper to odločbo.
Before that court, citiworks submitted that Paragraph 110 of the EnWG is incompatible with Article 20 of Directive 2003/54.
Družba citiworks je pred tem sodi�čem navajala, da člen 110 EnWG ni združljiv s členom 20 Direktive 2003/54.
In those circumstances, the Oberlandesgericht Dresden decided to stay the proceedings and to refer the following question to the Court for a preliminary ruling:
V teh okoli�činah je Oberlandesgericht Dresden prekinilo odločanje in Sodi�ču v predhodno odločanje predložilo to vpra�anje:
‘Is the first point of Paragraph 110(1) of the [EnWG] compatible with Article 20(1) of Directive 2003/54/EC … inasmuch as, in accordance with the conditions laid down in the first point of Paragraph 110(1) of the EnWG, a so-called “operation network” is exempted from the general provisions on system access (Paragraphs 20 to 28a of the EnWG) even where such system access would not impose an unreasonable burden?’
„Ali je člen 110(1), točka 1, [EnWG] združljiv s členom 20(1) Direktive 2003/54 […] v delu, v katerem se v skladu s pogoji iz člena 110(1), točka 1, EnWG splo�ne določbe o dostopu do omrežja (odstavki od 20 do 28a EnWG) ne uporabljajo za ‚obratovalno omrežje‘, tudi če tak dostop do omrežja ne bi povzročal nesprejemljivih težav?“
By its question, the national court is asking, in essence, whether Article 20(1) of Directive 2003/54 is to be interpreted as precluding a provision, such as the first point of Paragraph 110(1) of the EnWG, which exempts certain operators of energy
Predložitveno sodi�če s tem vpra�anjem v bistvu spra�uje, ali je treba člen 20(1) Direktive 2003/54 razlagati tako, da nasprotuje taki določbi, kot je člen 110(1), točka 1, EnWG, s katerim se nekatere upravljavce omrežij za oskrbo z električno energijo oprosti obveznosti, da tretjim stranem omogočijo prost dostop do teh
CITIWORKS supply systems from the obligation to provide third parties with open access to those systems on the ground that they are located on a geographically connected operation zone and predominantly serve to supply the energy needs of the undertaking itself or of connected undertakings, where it is not established that open third-party access to those systems would impose an unreasonable burden.
CITIWORKS omrežij z obrazložitvijo, da se nahajajo na obratovalnem območju, ki je prostorsko povezano, in ki so namenjena zlasti oskrbi z energijo samega podjetja ali priključenih podjetij, ne da bi bilo dokazano, da bi prost dostop tretjih strani do navedenih omrežij povzročal nesprejemljive težave.
Citiworks takes the view that Article 20(1) of Directive 2003/54 precludes the first point of Paragraph 110(1) of the EnWG.
Družba citiworks meni, da člen 20(1) Direktivee 2003/54 nasprotuje členu 110(1), točka 1, EnWG.
One of the main objectives of that directive, it submits, is to allow energy suppliers to have open access to energy supply systems in order that consumers may freely choose their supplier.
Eden od glavnih ciljev te direktive naj bi bil namreč dobaviteljem energije zagotoviti prost dostop do omrežij za oskrbo z energijo zato, da bi bila odjemalcem zagotovljena svobodna izbira dobavitelja.
It argues that the national provision which derogates from the principle of open third-party access to energy supply systems runs contrary to that objective.
Nacionalna določba, s katero se odstopa od načela prostega dostopa tretjih strani do omrežij za oskrbo z energijo, naj bi bila v nasprotju s tem ciljem.
There is no provision in Directive 2003/54 which authorises Member States freely to determine in what situations they may derogate from that principle.
V Direktivi 2003/54 ni nobene določbe, ki bi državam članicam dopu�čala, da svobodno določijo primere, v katerih je mogoče odstopiti od tega načela.
Furthermore, citiworks submits that the first point of Paragraph 110(1) of the EnWG is automatically applicable once the conditions which it lays down have been met.
Družba citiworks poleg tega navaja, da se člen 110(1), točka 1, EnWG uporablja avtomatično, če so izpolnjeni pogoji, ki jih določa.
As a preliminary point, FLH contends that the question referred is inadmissible on the ground that it is hypothetical.
Družba FLH predhodno zatrjuje, da je vpra�anje nedopustno, ker je hipotetično.
That question, it argues, is based on wording of the first point of Paragraph 110(1) of the EnWG which does not exist, since that provision does not refer to a notion of ‘unreasonable burden’.
Predložitveno sodi�če se v svojem vpra�anju namreč sklicuje na besedilo člena 110(1), točka 1, EnWG, ki dejansko ne obstaja, pri čemer se ta določba ne nana�a na pojem „nesprejemljivih težav“.
In addition, the question is not relevant to the outcome of the main proceedings.
Poleg tega pa naj to vpra�anje ne bi bilo pomembno za razre�itev spora o glavni stvari.
On the substance, FLH, the regulatory authority and the German and United Kingdom Governments take the view that the system at issue in the main proceedings is neither a transmission system nor a distribution system and, accordingly, does not come within the scope of Directive 2003/54.
Družba FLH, pristojni organ, nem�ka vlada in vlada Združenega kraljestva glede temelja menijo, da zadevno omrežje v postopku v glavni svari ni niti prenosno niti distribucijsko omrežje in da zato ne spada na področje uporabe Direktive 2003/54.
Such a system, they argue, is an internal system created by undertakings for their own energy supplies, which has a low consumption and does not affect competition.
Tako omrežje naj bi bilo notranje omrežje, ki so ga vzpostavila podjetja za lastno oskrbo z energijo, ki naj bi imelo majhno porabo in ki naj ne bi vplivalo na konkurenco.
The first point of Paragraph 110(1) of the EnWG is merely the expression of the discretion available to the German legislature when it implemented Directive 2003/54.
Člen 110(1), točka 1, EnWG naj bi bil zgolj izraz diskrecijske pravice, ki jo je imel nem�ki zakonodajalec ob prenosu Direktive 2003/54.
Moreover, the supply of electricity is ancillary to FLH’s main activity, which is the operation of an airport.
Poleg tega naj bi bilo oskrbovanje z električno energijo dopolnitev glavne dejavnosti družbe FLH, ki je upravljanje letali�ča.
The German Government submits that the system at issue in the main proceedings is a ‘customer installation’ which distributes energy within a closed installation.
Nem�ka vlada trdi, da je zadevno omrežje v postopku v glavni stvari „odjemalčeva naprava“, ki energijo distribuira v okviru zaprte naprave.
The undertaking which operates it is, it argues, not subject to the obligations imposed by Directive 2003/54 on operators of distribution systems.
Za podjetje, ki jo upravlja, zato naj ne bi veljale obveznosti, ki so z Direktivo 2003/54 določene za upravljavce distribucijskih omrežij.
The Polish Government takes the view that the first point of Paragraph 110(1) of the EnWG is incompatible with Directive 2003/54.
Poljska vlada meni, da člen 110(1), točka 1, EnWG ni združljiv z Direktivo 2003/54.
The Directive, it submits, contains a system of derogations linked to specific circumstances, which excludes derogations of a general nature.
V tej direktivi naj bi obstajal sistem odstopanj, povezanih s posebnimi okoli�činami, ki izključuje splo�na odstopanja.
The Commission takes the view that Article 20(1) of Directive 2003/54 precludes the first point of Paragraph 110(1) of the EnWG.
Komisija meni, da člen 20(1) Direktive 2003/54 nasprotuje členu 110(1), točka 1, EnWG.
The system at issue in the main proceedings is, in its view, a distribution system within the meaning of that directive and open access to that system must therefore be guaranteed.
Zadevno omrežje v postopku v glavni stvari naj bi bilo namreč distribucijsko omrežje v smislu te direktive in bi torej moral biti zagotovljen prost dostop do tega omrežja.
The Commission points out that the principle of open access of third parties to energy supply systems is essential and that derogations from that principle must be allowed only in clearly defined circumstances.
Komisija opozarja, da je načelo prostega dostopa tretjih strani do omrežij za oskrbo z energijo bistveno in da so odstopanja od tega načela dopustna le v jasno opredeljenih okoli�činah.
In that regard, the size of the system is taken into account only in respect of questions concerning legal separation of the operators of distribution systems, as follows from the final part of Article 15(2) of Directive 2003/54.
V okviru tega se velikost omrežja upo�teva le glede pravne ločitve upravljalcev distribucijskih omrežij, kot izhaja iz zadnjega dela člena 15(2) Direktive 2003/54.
Answer of the Court
Odgovor Sodišča
The Court can refuse to give a preliminary ruling on a question submitted by a national court only where it is quite obvious that the ruling sought by that court on the interpretation or validity of Community law bears no relation to the actual facts of the main action or its purpose, or where the problem is hypothetical (see Bosman, paragraph 61, and Acereda Herrera, paragraph 48).
Sodi�če lahko zavrne predlog nacionalnega sodi�ča le, če je očitno, da razlaga ali ocena veljavnosti pravila Skupnosti, ki jo je zahtevalo nacionalno sodi�če, ni v nobeni zvezi z resničnostjo ali predmetom spora o glavni stvari, oziroma če je problem hipotetičen (glej zgoraj navedeni sodbi Bosman, točka 61, in Acereda Herrera, točka 48).
In the case in the main proceedings, the national court is dealing with a challenge made by an electricity supplier which submits that Article 20(1) of Directive 2003/54 precludes a provision of national law which exempts certain operators of energy supply systems from having to allow open access to their systems.
V postopku v glavni stvari je dobavitelj električne energije pri nacionalnem sodi�ču vložil tožbo, s katero navaja, da člen 20(1) Direktive 2003/54 nasprotuje določbi nacionalnega prava, s katero se nekatere upravljavce omrežij za oskrbo z energijo oprosti obveznosti, da omogočijo prost dostop do svojega omrežja.
According to that court, the provision of national law at issue provides that that exemption applies to energy supply systems without there being a requirement as to the existence of an unreasonable burden, whereas that requirement applies to the service systems referred to in the second point of Paragraph 110(1) of the EnWG.
To sodi�če meni, da je z zadevno določbo nacionalnega prava določeno, da se navedeno odstopanje uporablja za omrežja za oskrbo z energijo, ne da bi bilo to pogojeno z obstojem nesprejemljivih težav, medtem ko ta pogoj obstaja za storitvena omrežja, navedena v členu 110(1), točka 2, EnWG.
