The actual wording of paragraph 58 of that judgment is unequivocal in that regard.
Tudi samo besedilo točke 58 v tem smislu ne dopu�ča nobenega dvoma.
The Court states therein that an infraState body may enjoy a legal and factual status which makes it sufficiently autonomous in relation to the central government, with
Sodi�če v njej namreč navaja, da ni izključeno, da je poddržavna enota glede na osrednjo
UGT-RIOJA AND OTHERS the result that it is that body which plays a fundamental role in the definition of the political and economic environment in which undertakings operate.
UGT-RIOJA IN DRUGI vlado dovolj avtonomna, da opravlja temeljno vlogo pri opredelitvi političnega in gospodarskega okolja, v katerem delujejo podjetja.
Expressed differently, where an infraState body is sufficiently autonomous, in other words, when it has autonomy from the institutional, procedural and economic points of view, it plays a fundamental role in the definition of the political and economic environment in which the undertakings operate.
Drugače povedano, če je poddržavna enota dovolj avtonomna, kar pomeni, da uživa zadostno institucionalno, procesno in gospodarsko avtonomijo, opravlja temeljno vlogo pri opredelitvi političnega in gospodarskega okolja, v katerem delujejo podjetja.
That fundamental role is the consequence of the autonomy and not a precondition for that autonomy.
Ta temeljna vloga je posledica avtonomije in ne temeljni pogoj zanjo.
Paragraph 66 of Portugal v Commission also expresses that idea of consequence, since the Court refers therein to the situation in which an infraState body, ‘in particular on account of its status and powers’, occupies a fundamental role in the definition of the political and economic environment in which the undertakings present on the territory within its competence operate.
V točki 66 zgoraj navedene sodbe Portugalska proti Komisiji je izražena tudi ta ideja posledičnosti, saj Sodi�če v njej navaja primer, ko poddržavna enota „zlasti zaradi svojega statusa in pristojnosti“ opravlja temeljno vlogo pri opredelitvi političnega in gospodarskega okolja, v katerem delujejo podjetja, ki so prisotna na območju v njeni pristojnosti.
Paragraph 66 is a sufficient clarification of paragraph 67 of that judgment, which describes the criteria which a decision must satisfy in order for it to be considered to have been adopted in the exercise of sufficiently autonomous powers, in other words, in circumstances such as those referred to in paragraph 66.
Ta točka 66 dovolj pojasnjuje točko 67 iste sodbe, v kateri so navedena merila, ki jih mora izpolnjevati odločitev, da bi lahko menili, da je bila sprejeta pri izvr�evanju dovolj avtonomnih pristojnosti, torej v takih razmerah, na kakr�ne se nana�a navedena točka 66.
That interpretation of the principle laid down by the Court in paragraphs 54 to 68 of Portugal v Commission is supported by an examination of the review effected by the Court in that judgment.
To razlago načela, ki ga je Sodi�če oblikovalo v točkah od 54 do 68 zgoraj navedene sodbe Portugalska proti Komisiji, podpira tudi preučitev preizkusa, ki ga je v tej sodbi opravilo Sodi�če. V zvezi s tem je treba poudariti, da je slednje v točki 70 te sodbe preučilo merila institucionalne in procesne avtonomije, v točkah od 71 do 76 pa merilo gospodarske avtonomije.
As the Advocate General stated at point 70 of her Opinion, it is not, however, in any way apparent from the review effected by the Court that it examined whether the precondition the existence of which is alleged by the Commission was satisfied.
Kot je poudarila generalna pravobranilka v točki 70 sklepnih predlogov, pa iz preizkusa, ki ga je opravilo Sodi�če, nikakor ne izhaja, da bi to preučilo, ali je bil izpolnjen temeljni pogoj, katerega obstoj zatrjuje Komisija.
It follows that the only conditions which must be satisfied in order for the territory falling within the competence of an infraState body to be the relevant framework in order to assess whether a decision adopted by that body is selective in nature are the conditions of institutional autonomy, procedural autonomy and economic and financial autonomy as set out in paragraph 67 of Portugal v Commission.
Iz tega izhaja, da so edini pogoji, ki morajo biti izpolnjeni, da bi se območje v pristojnosti poddržavne enote obravnavalo kot upo�teven okvir za presojo, ali je odločitev, ki jo je sprejela ta enota, selektivna, pogoji institucionalne, procesne ter gospodarske in finančne avtonomije, kot so opredeljeni v točki 67 zgoraj navedene sodbe Portugalska proti Komisiji.
The infra­State body to be taken into consideration
Upoštevna poddržavna enota
In order to verify whether the measures at issue in the cases in the main proceedings were adopted by a ‘sufficiently autonomous’ infraState body, it is necessary first to determine which body is to be taken into consideration.
Da bi lahko preizkusili, ali je zadevne ukrepe v postopkih v glavnih stvari sprejela „dovolj avtonomna“ poddržavna enota, je treba najprej ugotoviti, kateri organ je treba pri tem upo�tevati.
Although the question referred for a preliminary ruling in each of Cases C-428/06 to C-434/06 concerns the tax measures adopted by one specific Historical Territory, it should be pointed out that, in its reasoning explaining why an answer to such a question is necessary, the national court refers to the Autonomous Community of the Basque Country and to the Historical Territories.
Če se namreč vpra�anje za predhodno odločanje, ki je bilo zastavljeno v vseh zadevah od C-428/06 do C-434/06, nana�a na davčne ukrepe, ki so jih sprejela posamezna zgodovinska ozemlja, je treba poudariti, da predložitveno sodi�če v obrazložitvi razlogov, zaradi katerih je treba odgovoriti na to vpra�anje, navaja tako Baskovsko avtonomno skupnost kot zgodovinska ozemlja.
In that regard, they stress the limited
V zvezi s tem so poudarile
UGT-RIOJA AND OTHERS competence of those bodies and, therefore, the selective nature of the contested foral laws.
UGT-RIOJA IN DRUGI ozke pristojnosti teh organov, pomanjkanje avtonomije teh organov in zato selektivnost izpodbijanih foralnih določb.
Like the national court, the foral authorities and the Spanish Government refer to the same infraState body as both the Historical Territories and the Autonomous Community of the Basque Country, according to whether they are referring to the authority competent in tax or other matters.
Tako kot predložitveno sodi�če pa foralni organi in �panska vlada kot isto poddržavno enoto opredeljujejo tako zgodovinska ozemlja kot Baskovsko avtonomno skupnost, glede na to, ali gre za pristojen organ na davčnem področju ali na drugih področjih.
As is apparent from the national rules set out in this judgment, the institutional system of the Kingdom of Spain is particularly complex.
Institucionalni sistem Kraljevine Španije je, kot izhaja iz nacionalne zakonodaje, ki je povzeta v tej sodbi, zelo zapleten.
Moreover, the Court does not have jurisdiction to interpret national law.
Poleg tega Sodi�če ni pristojno za razlago nacionalnega prava.
The interpretation of Article 87(1) EC, however, makes it necessary to identify the infraState body which must be taken into consideration when an assessment is made as to the selective nature of a tax measure.
Za razlago člena 87(1) ES pa je treba ugotoviti, katera je tista poddržavna enota, ki jo je treba upo�tevati v postopku presoje selektivnosti davčnega ukrepa.
The Autonomous Community of the Basque Country is made up of three provinces: Álava, Vizcaya and Guipúzcoa.
Baskovsko avtonomno skupnost sestavljajo tri province, Álava, Vizcaya in Guipúzcoa.
The boundaries of those provinces coincide with those of the Historical Territories, bodies which enjoy rights of ancient origin called ‘fueros’, entitling them to levy and collect tax.
Meje teh provinc sovpadajo z mejami zgodovinskih ozemelj, enot, ki uživajo zgodovinske pravice, imenovane „fueros“, ki jim omogočajo odmerjanje in pobiranje davkov.
However, many other areas of competence, in particular those of an economic nature, are exercised by the Autonomous Community.
Vendar pa �tevilne druge pristojnosti, med drugim na gospodarskem področju, izvaja avtonomna skupnost.
There appears to be little doubt that, considered as such, the Historical Territories do not enjoy sufficient autonomy within the meaning of the criteria set out in paragraphs 67 and 68 of Portugal v Commission.
Ni prav verjetno, da bi sama zgodovinska ozemlja imela zadostno avtonomijo v smislu meril iz točk 67 in 68 zgoraj navedene sodbe Portugalska proti Komisiji.
The existence of political and
Politična in davčna avtonomija namreč zahteva, da poddržavna enota prevzame politične
2008 — JOINED CASES C-428/06 TO C-434/06 fiscal autonomy requires that the infraState body assume responsibility for the political and financial consequences of a tax reduction measure.
2008 – ZADEVA C-428/06 in finančne posledice ukrepa znižanja davka.
It appears that that is the situation in which the Historical Territories find themselves, as they are competent only in tax matters and the other areas of competence belong to the Autonomous Community of the Basque Country.
Vse kaže, da so v takem položaju tudi zgodovinska ozemlja, ki so pristojna le na davčnem področju, druge pristojnosti pa izvaja Baskovska avtonomna skupnost.
It does not, however, appear to be indispensable when assessing whether an infraState body satisfies the autonomy criteria, to take into consideration only the Historical Territories or, alternatively, only the Autonomous Community of the Basque Country.
Vendar pa za analizo meril avtonomije poddržavne enote ni treba upo�tevati izključno zgodovinskih ozemelj ali, obratno, izključno Baskovske avtonomne skupnosti.
It follows from the explanations submitted to the Court that there are historical reasons why the areas of competence exercised in the geographical territory corresponding both to the Historical Territories and the Autonomous Community of the Basque Country are organised in such as way that competence for tax matters is vested in the Historical Territories and that for economic matters is vested in the Autonomous Community.
Iz pojasnil, predloženih Sodi�ču, namreč izhaja, da so pristojnosti, ki se izvajajo na geografskem območju, ki sovpada tako z zgodovinskimi ozemlji kot z Baskovsko avtonomno skupnostjo, iz zgodovinskih razlogov organizirane tako, da je pristojnost na davčnem področju, ki jo imajo zgodovinska ozemlja, ločena od pristojnosti na gospodarskem področju, ki jo ima avtonomna skupnost.
In order to prevent this leading to incoherent situations, this sharing of areas of competence necessitates close collaboration between the different bodies.
Da bi se izognili nejasnemu položaju, ta delitev pristojnosti zahteva tesno sodelovanje različnih organov.
Thus, the Statute of Autonomy deals with the areas of competence of the Autonomous Community of the Basque Country, but also sets out, in Article 41(2), the fundamental principles which the foral authorities must comply with and which are more fully covered by the Economic Agreement.
Tako statut o avtonomiji ureja pristojnosti Baskovske avtonomne skupnosti, vendar v členu 41(2) določa tudi temeljna načela, ki jih morajo upo�tevati foralni organi in ki so podrobneje urejena v finančnem sporazumu.
That Economic Agreement, adopted by statute, was concluded between the Autonomous Community of the Basque Country and the Spanish State.
Ta finančni sporazum, potrjen z zakonom, sta sklenili Baskovska avtonomna skupnost in Španija.
It does not, however,
Vendar se ne nana�a le na pristojnosti avtonomne skupnosti,
UGT-RIOJA AND OTHERS deal only with the areas of competence of the Autonomous Community, but includes numerous provisions concerning the Historical Territories, which have competence in numerous tax matters.
UGT-RIOJA IN DRUGI temveč vsebuje �tevilne določbe v zvezi z zgodovinskimi ozemlji, ki imajo pristojnosti na �tevilnih davčnih področjih.
The proper enforcement of the Economic Agreement is reviewed by the Joint Committee.
Pravilno izvajanje finančnega sporazuma nadzira me�ana komisija.
According to the first paragraph of Article 61 of that agreement, that committee is made up, on the one hand, of a representative of the respective territorial governments of each of the Historical Territories and, on the other, of the same number of representatives of the State Administration.
V skladu s členom 61(1) tega sporazuma je ta komisija sestavljena iz predstavnikov vlad vsakega od ozemelj in enakega �tevila predstavnikov baskovske vlade na eni strani ter ustreznega enakega �tevila predstavnikov državne uprave na drugi strani.
Likewise, the composition of the Coordination and Legislative Evaluation Committee is evidence of the close cooperation between the Historical Territories and the Autonomous Community of the Basque Country.
Tudi sestava komisije za usklajevanje in normativno vrednotenje je dokaz o tesnem sodelovanju med zgodovinskimi ozemlji in Baskovsko avtonomno skupnostjo.
According to Article 63 of the conomic Agreement, that committee is composed of four representatives of the State Administration and four representatives of the Autonomous Community designated by the Basque Government, three of whom are each appointed on the proposal of one each of the Diputaciones Forales.
V skladu s členom 63 finančnega sporazuma to komisijo namreč sestavljajo �tirje predstavniki državne uprave in �tirje predstavniki avtonomne skupnosti, ki jih imenuje baskovska vlada, od katerih so trije imenovani na predlog vsakega od Diputaciones Forales.
Thus, it is both to the Historical Territories and to the Autonomous Community of the Basque Country that reference must be made for the purpose of determining whether the infraState body made up of those Historical Territories and that Community enjoys sufficient autonomy to constitute the reference framework in the light of which the selectivity of a measure adopted by one of those Historical Territories should be assessed.
Zato je treba pri ugotavljanju, ali ima poddržavna enota, ki jo sestavljajo tako zgodovinska ozemlja kot Baskovska avtonomna skupnost, zadostno avtonomijo, da jo je mogoče obravnavati kot referenčni okvir za presojo selektivnosti ukrepa, ki ga sprejme eno od zgodovinskih ozemelj, upo�tevati tako ozemlja kot tudi skupnost.
The relevance of judicial review
Upoštevnost sodnega nadzora
Before examining whether the three autonomy criteria set out in paragraph 67 of Portugal v Commission are satisfied in the cases in the main proceedings, it is also necessary to state on what basis review by national courts should be taken into account.
Pred preizkusom, ali so v zadevah, ki se obravnavajo v postopkih v glavni stvari, izpolnjena tri merila avtonomije iz točke 67 zgoraj navedene sodbe Portugalska proti Komisiji, je treba ugotoviti tudi to, na podlagi česa je treba upo�tevati nadzor, ki ga izvajajo nacionalna sodi�ča.
Certain of the parties to the main proceedings which have submitted observations claim that the foral laws have the status of administrative provisions and are subject to judicial review by the administrative courts, which has an effect on the procedural autonomy of the Historical Territories.
Nekatere stranke v postopkih v glavni stvari, ki so predložile stali�ča, namreč zatrjujejo, da imajo foralni predpisi status upravnih določb in so predmet nadzora zakonitosti upravnih sodi�č, kar naj bi vplivalo na procesno avtonomijo zgodovinskih ozemelj.
Other parties contend, on the contrary, that that review is not relevant for the assessment of the autonomy criteria.
Druge stranke pa menijo, da ta nadzor ni pomemben za presojo meril avtonomije.
In that regard, it must be pointed out that, in the context of Article 234 EC, the Court does not have jurisdiction to apply Community law, but solely to interpret it or to assess its validity.
V zvezi s tem je treba opozoriti, da Sodi�če v okviru člena 234 ES ni pristojno za uporabo prava Skupnosti, temveč le za razlago ali presojo njegove veljavnosti.
It is, thus, not appropriate to ask whether the foral laws at issue in the cases in the main proceedings constitute State aid within the meaning of Article 87(1) EC, but rather to interpret that provision in order to verify whether legislation such as the foral laws adopted by the Historical Territories within the limits of their areas of competence may be termed rules of general application within the meaning of the concept of State aid arising from that provision or whether those laws are selective in nature.
Zato se ni treba spra�evati, ali so zadevni foralni predpisi v postopkih v glavni stvari državne pomoči v smislu člena 87(1) ES, temveč je treba podati razlago te določbe in tako preizkusiti, ali je zakonodajo, kot so foralni predpisi, ki so jih sprejela zgodovinska ozemlja v okviru svojih prisojnosti, mogoče obravnavati kot splo�no veljavna pravila v smislu pojma državne pomoči, kakr�en izhaja iz te določbe, ali pa gre za selektivne predpise.
It is apparent that the boundaries of the areas of competence of the Historical Territories are laid down in the Constitution and in other provisions, such as the Statute of Autonomy and the Economic Agreement.
Sklepati je mogoče, da je okvir pristojnosti zgodovinskih ozemelj določen z ustavo in drugimi določbami, kot sta statut o avtonomiji in finančni sporazum.
In that regard, it is necessary to take into account those provisions as interpreted and enforced by the national courts.
V zvezi s tem je treba te določbe upo�tevati tako, kot jih razlagajo in uporabljajo nacionalna sodi�ča.
It is not the review by the national court which is relevant for the purpose of verifying the existence of autonomy, but the criterion which that court uses when carrying out that review.
Za preizkus obstoja avtonomije namreč ni pomemben sodni nadzor, temveč merila, ki jih ta sodi�ča uporabijo pri izvajanju nadzora.
The purpose of reviewing the legality of acts is to enforce compliance with the preestablished limits on the areas of competence of the different State authorities, organs or bodies, not to determine those limits.
Z nadzorom zakonitosti se zagotavlja upo�tevanje predhodno vzpostavljenih meja pristojnosti različnih državnih oblasti, organov ali enot, ne pa tudi določanje teh meja.
As the Spanish Government stated at the hearing, the existence of judicial review is inherent in the existence of the rule of law.
Kot je na obravnavi navedla �panska vlada, je sodni nadzor neločljivo povezan z obstojem pravne države.
Although the caselaw of the courts of a Member State is important in order to ascertain the limits of an intra-State body’s areas of competence, this is because the interpretation of caselaw forms an integral part of the laws defining those areas of competence.
Sodna praksa sodi�č države članice je za poznavanje meja pristojnosti poddržavne enote pomembna, ker je sodna razlaga sodi�č sestavni del predpisov, ki opredeljujejo te pristojnosti.
However, the review decision is limited to interpreting the law establishing the limits of the areas of competence of such a body and cannot generally call into question the exercise of those powers within those limits.
Vendar se sodna odločitev omejuje na razlago predpisa, ki določa meje pristojnosti take enote, načeloma pa ne more posegati v izvajanje teh pristojnosti v okviru teh meja.
It follows that it is the applicable laws as interpreted by the national courts which determine the limits of the areas of competence of an infraState body and which must be taken into account for the purpose of verifying whether that body has sufficient autonomy.
Iz tega izhaja, da so meje pristojnosti poddržavne enote opredeljene z veljavnimi predpisi, kot jih razlagajo nacionalna sodi�ča, in jih je treba upo�tevati tudi za preizkus, ali ima ta enota zadostno avtonomijo.
Consequently, it cannot validly be found that an infraState body lacks autonomy solely on the ground that the acts which it adopts are subject to judicial review.
Zato ni utemeljeno sklepati, da poddržavna enota nima avtonomije zgolj zato, ker so akti, ki jih sprejema, predmet sodnega nadzora.
The three autonomy criteria
Tri merila avtonomije
The institutional autonomy criterion
Merilo institucionalne avtonomije
The foral authorities, Confebask and the United Kingdom state that they agree with the national court’s analysis in respect of institutional autonomy.
Foralni organi, združenje Confebask in vlada Združenega kraljestva se strinjajo z analizo predložitvenega sodi�ča v zvezi z institucionalno avtonomijo.
Likewise, the Spanish Government is of the view that the first condition is satisfied.
Tudi �panska vlada meni, da je prvi pogoj izpolnjen.
The Comunidad Autónoma de Castilla y León claims that the Historical Territories do not have complete institutional autonomy, since they must contribute to the cost of Spanish State burdens.
Comunidad Autónoma de Castilla y León zatrjuje, da zgodovinska ozemlja nimajo popolne institucionalne avtonomije, saj morajo prispevati k izdatkom �panske države.
The Comunidad Autónoma de La Rioja states that is necessary to draw a distinction between the foral authorities, which adopted the tax measures at issue in the main proceedings, and the Autonomous Community of the Basque Country.
Comunidad Autónoma de La Rioja opozarja, da je treba razlikovati med foralnimi organi, ki so sprejeli zadevne davčne ukrepe v postopkih v glavni stvari, in Baskovsko avtonomno skupnostjo.
The Autonomous Community of the Basque Country, like the other autonomous communities, must exercise the powers conferred on it by the State within the framework of national economic policy objectives or those of the general organisation of the economy as defined by the State, whereas the foral authorities do not have areas of competence of an economic nature.
Slednja bi morala tako kot druge avtonomne skupnosti izvajati prisojnosti, ki ji jih je država zaupala v okviru ciljev nacionalne gospodarske politike ali splo�ne ureditve gospodarstva, ki jih je opredelila sama, medtem ko naj foralni organi ne bi imeli nobenih pristojnosti na gospodarskem področju.
Without, however, contesting the existence of institutional autonomy, the Commission also refers to the reduced areas of competence of the foral authorities, which essentially act as tax collectors for other administrations.
Komisija sicer ne izpodbija obstoja institucionalne avtonomije, vendar tudi sama poudarja, da imajo foralni organi ožje pristojnosti, na podlagi katerih naj bi v bistvu ravnali kot zbiralec davkov za druge uprave.
To the requisite extent, the different arguments in this case have been set out.
Kolikor je potrebno, smo opozorili na različne trditve, ki se pojavljajo v tej zadevi.
However, as already indicated in paragraph 75 above, it is necessary to take into account the infraState body made up of both the Historical Territories and the Autonomous Community of the Basque Country.
Vendar je treba, kot je bilo navedeno v točki 75 te sodbe, upo�tevati poddržavno enoto, ki jo sestavljajo tako zgodovinska ozemlja kot Baskovska avtonomna skupnost.
In that regard, it is apparent from an examination of the Constitution, the Statute of Autonomy and the Economic Agreement that infraState bodies such as the Historical Territories and the Autonomous Community of the Basque Country, since they have a political and administrative status which is distinct from that of central government, satisfy the institutional autonomy criterion.
Glede tega na podlagi preučitve ustave, statuta o avtonomiji in finančnega sporazuma izhaja, da poddržavne enote, kot so zgodovinska ozemlja in Baskovska avtonomna skupnost, izpolnjujejo merilo institucionalne avtonomije, ker imajo politični in upravni status, ki jih ločuje od osrednje vlade.
The Comunidad Autónoma de La Rioja and the Comunidad Autónoma de Castilla y León, along with the Commission, claim that the foral authorities are limited in the exercise of their powers, with regard to both the central State and the Autonomous Community of the Basque Country and between themselves.
Comunidad Autónoma de La Rioja in Comunidad Autónoma de Castilla y León ter Komisija poudarjajo, da so foralni organi omejeni pri izvajanju svojih pristojnosti tako v razmerju do države kot tudi do Baskovske avtonomne skupnosti in med seboj.
