In that regard, there are also many other practical obstacles, since the burden of proving that the activity concerned is independent from the other sectors of activity falls to the ‘body governed by public law’, so that it would be necessary to establish a method of reviewing (in advance or a posteriori) the initial decisions on procurement taken by that body and of verifying, first of all, that its different areas of activity are completely separate and, next, that the contract awarded falls within the sector excluded from Community harmonisation; otherwise, it would be possible to exclude at will the application of that body of rules.
V tem smislu obstajajo �tevilne druge praktične ovire, ker je dokazno breme za tak�no ločitev različnih področij dejavnosti na „osebi javnega prava“, tako da bi bilo treba za (predhodni ali naknadni) nadzor nad njegovimi predhodnimi odločitvami o oddaji naročil najti neko sredstvo in najprej ugotoviti, ali so različna področja dejavnosti popolnoma ločena, nato pa, ali opravljana dejavnost spada na področje, ki se na ravni Skupnosti ne usklajuje. Če ne, bo o tem pravnem okviru oseba prosto presojala.
That approach complicates the intricate Community system of public procurement, 44and it would not, therefore, be appropriate to adopt a solution which, without bestowing any benefit whatsoever, jeopardises a fundamental principle such as that of legal certainty.
Ta vidik �e bolj zapleta sistem Skupnosti o oddaji javnih naročil, ki je že tako kompleksen 44, tako da re�itev, ki ne prina�a nobene koristi, bi pa vplivala na tako temeljno načelo, kot je pravna varnost, ni ustrezna.
guide the framers of caselaw requires it to be dismissed for, as the Community market now stands, experience teaches us that economic activities and business relationships are highly complex, making it extremely difficult to effect such a radical separation as that proposed by my colleague, which, as the order for reference states, appears possible only between independent undertakings, and, even then, not always.
dnost, ki mora voditi tiste, ki oblikujejo sodno prakso, pa nas kljub temu sili k temu, da ga zavrnemo, kajti pri sedanjem stanju trga Skupnosti izku�nja kaže, da so posli in poslovni odnosi izredno kompleksni, kar čezmerno otežuje tak�no radikalno delitev, kot jo je nakazal moj kolega, ki je možna, kot je izpeljano v predložitveni odločbi, le v samostojnih podjetjih in �e to ne vedno.
Even if the accounts are kept separately and cross- subsidisation is excluded, the strategic management, the structural decisions and the assets are one and there is nothing to guarantee that the different spheres of activity are watertight or that, in crisis situations, the rules of conduct of a closed market will not have an effect on those of an industrial or commercial activity, leading the contracting body governed by public law to be guided by ‘sub-economic’ criteria — a risk which would give rise to the application of the Community provisions harmonising the award of public contracts.
Tudi če se računovodstvo vodi ločeno in je navzkrižno subvencioniranje izključeno, so strate�ko vodenje, strukturne odločitve in premoženje celota, in ni nobenega jamstva, da so področja dejavnosti razmejena ali da v krizni situaciji pravila ravnanja na zaprtem trgu ne vplivajo na industrijsko ali tržno dejavnost, kar povzroča, da se za javno naročilo pristojna „oseba javnega prava“ ravna po „paragospodarskih“ kriterijih; ta nevarnost pa zaobjema uporabo pravil Skupnosti o usklajevanju oddaje javnih naročil.
Thus, the principle of legal certainty, on which the position of the Court in this area is founded, calls for those rules to be maintained.
Potemtakem se zaradi pravne varnosti, na kateri temelji stali�če Sodi�ča na tem področju, priporoča upo�tevanje pravil Skupnosti.
In summary, I consider that, in any event, a ‘body governed by public law’ falls under Directive 2004/18, regardless of the nature of the contracts it concludes, unless those contracts are expressly excluded by the Directive (Articles 12 to 18).
Če povzamem, menim, da za „osebo javnega prava“ v vsakem primeru velja Direktiva 2004/18, ne glede na naravo pogodb, ki jih sklepa, razen če jih direktiva izrecno ne izključuje (členi od 12 do 18).
43 — In fact, Advocate General Jacobs seeks to transfer to the field of public procurement concepts from the field of State aid which is incompatible with the common market, which is the subjectmatter of Commission Directive 2006/111/EC of 16 November 2006 on the transparency of financial relations between Member States and public undertakings as well as on financial transparency within certain undertakings (OJ 2006 L 318, p.
43 – Dejansko posku�a generalni pravobranilec Jacobs uvesti na področje javnih naročil pojme s področja s skupnim trgom nezdružljivih državnih pomoči, ki so temelj za Direktivo 2006/111/ES Komisije z dne 16. novembra 2006 o preglednosti finančnih odnosov med državami članicami in javnimi podjetji ter o finančni preglednosti znotraj določenih podjetij (UL L 318, str.

44 — In the Opinion cited (point 60), Advocate General Jacobs draws attention to that complexity, which is also pointed out by the Commission in its Communication — Public procurement in the European Union, COM(98) 143 final, of 11 March 1998, p.
44 – V zgoraj navedenih sklepnih predlogih (točka 60) generalni pravobranilec Jacobs poudarja to kompleksnost, ki jo navaja tudi Komisija v svojem razlagalnem sporočilu „Javna naročila v Evropski skupnosti“ [COM(98) 143 končno, z dne 11. marca 1998, str.

In the light of the foregoing considerations, I propose that the Court should:
Glede na zgoraj navedeno predlagam Sodi�ču, da:
(1) Declare that it lacks jurisdiction to answer the questions referred for a preliminary ruling by the Vergabekontrollsenat des Landes Wien, because that body is not a court or tribunal within the meaning of Article 234 EC.
1. se izreče za nepristojno za odgovarjanje na vpra�anja za predhodno odločanje, ki jih je postavilo Vergabekontrollsenat des Landes Wien, iz razloga, ker ta organ ni sodi�če v smislu člena 234 ES;
(2) In the alternative, if it were to hold the reference admissible, declare that:

AIGNER izreka naslednjo
This reference for a preliminary ruling concerns the interpretation of Directive 2004/17/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 31 March 2004 coordinating the procurement procedures of entities operating in the water, energy, transport and postal services sectors (OJ 2004 L 134, p.
Predlog za sprejetje predhodne odločbe se nana�a na razlago upo�tevnih določb Direktive 2004/17/ES Evropskega parlamenta in Sveta z dne 31. marca 2004 o usklajevanju postopkov za oddajo javnih naročil naročnikov v vodnem, energetskem in transportnem sektorju ter sektorju po�tnih storitev (UL L 134, str.
1) and 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. 114).

Ta predlog je bil predložen v okviru spora med družbama Ing. Aigner, Wasser-Wärme-Umwelt GmbH (v nadaljevanju: Ing.

Directive 2004/17 coordinates the procurement procedures in specific sectors, that is to say, those of water, energy, transport and postal services.
Direktiva 2004/17 uvaja usklajevanje postopkov za oddajo javnih naročil naročnikov v posebnih sektorjih, kot so vodni, energetski in transportni sektor ter sektor po�tnih storitev.
It follows and repealed Council Directive 93/38/EEC of 14 June 1993 coordinating the procurement procedures of entities operating in the water, energy, transport and telecommunications sectors (OJ 1993 L 199, p.

2008 — CASE C-393/06
2008 – ZADEVA C-393/06
The particular characteristics of the sectors covered by Directive 2004/17 are highlighted in the third recital in the preamble thereto, which states that it is necessary to coordinate procurement procedures in these sectors because of the closed nature of the markets in which the contracting entities concerned operate, due to the existence of special or exclusive rights granted by the Member States concerning the supply to, provision or operation of networks for providing the service concerned.
Posebnost sektorjev, ki jih pokriva Direktiva 2004/17, je razvidna iz njene tretje uvodne izjave, iz katere izhaja, da je usklajevanje v teh sektorjih nujno zaradi zaprtosti trgov, na katerih delujejo zadevni naročniki, in to zaradi obstoja posebnih in izključnih pravic, ki jim jih dodelijo države članice v zvezi z dobavami v omrežja, njihovo oskrbo ali njihovim upravljanjem za opravljanje zadevnih storitev.
The second section of Article 2(1)(a) of Directive 2004/17 and the second section of Article 1(9) of Directive 2004/18 provide that ‘contracting authorities’, inter alia, are ‘bodies governed by public law’, that is to say
Člen 2(1)(a), drugi pododstavek, Direktive 2004/17 in člen 1(9), drugi pododstavek, Direktive 2004/18 določata, da so „[javni] naročniki“ med drugim „osebe javnega prava“, ki pomenijo:
‘… any body:
„[…] vsako osebo:
— established for the specific purpose of meeting needs in the general interest, not having an industrial or commercial character,
– ki je ustanovljena samo zato, da zadovoljuje potrebe splo�nega interesa in nima industrijske ali tržne narave,
— having legal personality and financed, for the most part, by the State, regional or local authorities, or other bodies governed by public law; or subject to management supervision by those bodies; or having an administrative, managerial or supervisory board, more than half of whose members are appointed by the State, regional or local authorities, or by other bodies governed by public law’.
– ki je pravna oseba, in jo pretežno financirajo državni, regionalni ali lokalni organi ali druge osebe javnega prava ali je njeno vodstvo pod nadzorom teh organov ali pa ima upravni, vodstveni ali nadzorni odbor, katerega več kakor polovico članov imenujejo državni, regionalni ali lokalni organi ali druge osebe javnega prava“.
(b) a “public undertaking” is any undertaking over which the contracting authorities may exercise directly or indirectly a dominant influence by virtue of their ownership of it, their financial participation therein, or the rules which govern it.’
(b) ‚javno podjetje‘ pomeni vsako podjetje, na katero imajo lahko [javni] naročniki neposredno ali posredno prevladujoč vpliv zaradi njihovega lastni�tva, finančne udeležbe v njem ali pravil, ki urejajo njegovo poslovanje.“
Article 2(2) of that directive provides:
Člen 2(2) te direktive določa:
‘This Directive shall apply to contracting entities:
„Ta direktiva se uporablja za naročnike:
(a) which are contracting authorities or public undertakings and which pursue one of the activities referred to in Articles 3 to 7;
(a) ki so javni organi ali javna podjetja in opravljajo eno od dejavnosti iz členov 3 do 7;
(b) which, when they are not contracting authorities or public undertakings, have as one of their activities any of the activities referred to in Articles 3 to 7, or any combination thereof and operate on the basis of special or exclusive rights granted by a competent authority of a Member State.’
(b) kadar niso javni organi ali javna podjetja in je ena od njihovih dejavnosti katera koli dejavnost iz členov 3 do 7 ali kombinacija teh dejavnosti in delujejo na podlagi posebnih ali izključnih pravic, ki jim jih podeli pristojni organ države članice.“
Articles 3 to 7 of Directive 2004/17 list the sectors to which the Directive applies.
V členih od 3 do 7 Direktive 2004/17 so na�teti sektorji dejavnosti, za katere se uporablja ta direktiva.
These are gas, heat and electricity (Article 3), water (Article 4), transport services (Article 5), postal services (Article 6) and exploration for, or extraction of, oil, gas, coal or other solid fuels, as well as ports and airports (Article 7).
Ti sektorji so plin, toplota in električna energija (člen 3), voda (člen 4), prevozne storitve (člen 5), po�tne storitve (člen 6) ter iskanje ali črpanje nafte ali plina, izkopavanje premoga ali drugih trdnih goriv, pristani�ča in letali�ča (člen 7).
Article 3(1) of that directive provides:
Člen 3(1) omenjene direktive določa:
‘As far as gas and heat are concerned, this Directive shall apply to the following activities:
„Glede plina in toplote se ta direktiva uporablja za naslednje dejavnosti:
(a) the provision or operation of fixed networks intended to provide a service to the public in connection with the production, transport or distribution of gas or heat; or
(a) zagotavljanje ali upravljanje stalnih omrežij, ki so namenjena zagotavljanju javnih storitev v zvezi s proizvodnjo, transportom in distribucijo plina ali toplote; ali
(b) the supply of gas or heat to such networks.’
(b) dobavo plina ali toplote tak�nim omrežjem.“
Article 9 of that directive states as follows:
Člen 9 iste direktive določa naslednje:
A contract which is intended to cover several activities shall be subject to the rules applicable to the activity for which it is principally intended.
Za naročilo, ki naj bi zajemalo več dejavnosti, veljajo pravila za dejavnost, za katero je pretežno namenjeno.
However, the choice between awarding a single contract and awarding a number of separate contracts may not be made with the objective of excluding it from the scope of this Directive or, where applicable, Directive 2004/18/EC.
Vendar se odločitev o oddaji enega naročila ali več ločenih naročil […] sme sprejeti z namenom izključitve takega naročila iz področja uporabe te direktive ali, kjer je to primerno, Direktive 2004/18/ES.
If one of the activities for which the contract is intended is subject to this Directive and the other to the abovementioned Directive 2004/18/EC and if it is object- ively impossible to determine for which activity the contract is principally intended, the contract shall be awarded in accordance with the abovementioned Directive 2004/18/EC.
Če za eno od dejavnosti, za katero je naročilo namenjeno, velja ta direktiva in za drugo navedena Direktiva 2004/18/ES in če je objektivno nemogoče določiti, za katero dejavnost je pretežno namenjeno, se naročilo odda v skladu z navedeno Direktivo 2004/18/ES.
Article 20(1) of that directive, under the heading ‘Contracts awarded for purposes other than the pursuit of an activity covered or for the pursuit of such an activity in a third country’, provides:
Člen 20(1) iste direktive, z naslovom „Naročila, oddana za druge namene kot za opravljanje dejavnosti, ki so opisane v tej direktivi, ali za opravljanje take dejavnosti v tretji državi“, določa:
‘This Directive shall not apply to contracts which the contracting entities award for purposes other than the pursuit of their activities as described in Articles 3 to 7 or for the pursuit of such activities in a third country, in conditions not involving the physical use of a network or geographical area within the Community.’
„Ta direktiva se ne uporablja za javna naročila, ki jih naročniki oddajo za druge namene kot je opravljanje svojih dejavnosti, ki niso opisane v členih 3 do 7, ali za opravljanje tak�nih dejavnosti v tretji državi, v pogojih, ki ne vključujejo fizične uporabe omrežja ali geografskega območja znotraj Skupnosti.“
Finally, Article 30 of Directive 2004/17, under the heading ‘Procedure for establishing whether a given activity is directly exposed to competition’, provides:
Nazadnje člen 30 Direktive 2004/17, z naslovom „Postopki za ugotavljanje ali je določena dejavnost neposredno izpostavljena konkurenci“, določa:
Contracts intended to enable an activity mentioned in Articles 3 to 7 to be carried out shall not be subject to this Directive if, in the Member State in which it is performed, the activity is directly exposed to competition on markets to which access is not restricted.
Ta direktiva se ne uporablja za naročila, katerih namen je omogočiti opravljanje dejavnosti iz členov 3 do 7, če je v državi članici, v kateri se dejavnost opravlja, dejavnost neposredno izpostavljena konkurenci na trgih, do katerih dostop ni omejen.
For the purposes of paragraph 1, the question of whether an activity is directly exposed to competition shall be decided on the basis of criteria that are in conformity with the Treaty provisions on competition, such as the characteristics of the goods or services concerned, the existence of alternative goods or services, the prices and the actual or potential presence of more than one supplier of the goods or services in question.
Za namene odstavka 1 se odločitev ali je dejavnost neposredno izpostavljena konkurenci sprejme na podlagi meril, ki so v skladu z določbami o konkurenci iz Pogodbe, kot so lastnosti zadevnega blaga ali storitev, obstoj alternativnega blaga ali storitev, cene in dejanska ali potencialna prisotnost več kot enega dobavitelja zadevnega blaga ali storitev.
Title II, Chapter II, Section 3 of Directive 2004/18 lists the contracts which are outside the scope of that directive.
V naslovu II, poglavje II, oddelek 3, Direktive 2004/18 so na�teta naročila, ki so izključena iz te direktive.
These include contracts in the water, energy, transport and postal services sectors.
Med njimi so naročila v sektorjih za vodo, energijo, transport in po�tne storitve.
Article 12, dealing with those contracts, provides:
Člen 12, ki obravnava omenjena naročila, določa:
‘This Directive shall not apply to public contracts which, under Directive 2004/17/EC, are awarded by contracting authorities exercising one or more of the activities referred to in Articles 3 to 7 of that Directive and are awarded for the pursuit of those activities, …
„Ta direktiva se ne uporablja za javna naročila, oddana v skladu z Direktivo 2004/17/ES za [javne] naročnike, ki opravljajo eno ali več dejavnosti iz členov 3 do 7 navedene direktive, in so oddana zaradi izvajanja teh dejavnosti, […]
The abovementioned Community legislation was transposed into Austrian law by the Federal law on the award of public procurement contracts (Bundesvergabegesetz) 2006.
Zgoraj omenjeni prenos ureditve Skupnosti v avstrijsko pravo je bil izveden z zveznim zakonom o javnem naročanju (Bundesvergabegesetz) iz leta 2006.
Fernwärme Wien was established by constituent instrument of 22 January 1969 for the purpose of supplying district heating to homes, public institutions, offices, undertakings etc. in the City of Vienna.
Družba Fernwärme Wien je bila ustanovljena z aktom o ustanovitvi z dne 22. januarja 1969, za zagotavljanje toplovodnega ogrevanja stanovanj, javnih ustanov, uradov in podjetij na območju mesta Dunaj.
For that purpose it uses energy produced by the disposal of waste rather than energy from non-renewable sources.
Za ta namen je uporabljala energijo, ki nastane pri odstranjevanju komunalnih odpadkov, namesto energije iz neobnovljivih virov.
Fernwärme Wien, which has legal personality, is wholly owned by the City of Vienna, which appoints and removes managers and the members of the company’s supervisory board and gives them a discharge from responsibility.
Družba Fernwärme Wien je pravna oseba in je v celoti v lasti mesta Dunaj, ki imenuje in odpoklicuje poslovodje in člane nadzornega sveta ter jim podeljuje razre�nico.
In addition, through the Kontrollamt der Stadt Wien (Monitoring Office of the City of Vienna), the city is also authorised to monitor the economic and financial management of the company.
Med drugim lahko mestna skupnost prek Kontrollamt der Stadt Wien (nadzorni urad mesta Dunaj) nadzira tudi gospodarsko in finančno poslovanje tega podjetja.
In parallel to its district heating activities, Fernwärme Wien is engaged in the general planning of refrigeration plants for large real estate projects.
Družba Fernwärme Wien se vzporedno, poleg dejavnosti toplovodnega ogrevanja, ukvarja tudi s splo�nim načrtovanjem klimatskih naprav pri pomembnej�ih nepremičninskih projektih.
In carrying out that activity it competes with other undertakings.
V okviru te dejavnosti je soočena s konkurenco drugih podjetij.
