This reference for a preliminary ruling concerns the interpretation of Article 1 of Commission Regulation (EC) No 615/98 of 18 March 1998 laying down specific detailed rules of application for the export refund arrangements as regards the welfare of live bovine animals during transport (OJ 1998 L 82, p.
Predlog za sprejetje predhodne odločbe se nana�a na razlago člena 1 Uredbe Komisije (ES) �t. 615/98 z dne 18. marca 1998 o podrobnih pravilih za uporabo sistema izvoznih nadomestil za dobro počutje živega goveda med prevozom (UL L 82, str.
19), and the provisions of Council Directive 91/628/EEC of 19 November 1991 on the protection of animals during transport and amending Directives 90/425/EEC and 91/496/EEC (OJ 1991 L 340, p.
19) in določb Direktive Sveta 91/628/EGS z dne 19. novembra 1991 o za�čiti živali med prevozom in o spremembi direktiv 90/425/EGS in 91/496/EGS (UL L 340, str.
52; ‘Directive 91/628’).

The reference was made in the context of a dispute between Schwaninger Martin Viehhandel — Viehexport (‘Schwaninger’) and the Zollamt Salzburg, Erstattungen (customs office, Salzburg; ‘the Zollamt’) concerning a refusal to pay an export refund following the transportation of live bovine animals to Albania.
Ta predlog je bil vložen v okviru spora med Schwaninger Martin, Viehhandel – Viehexport (v nadaljevanju: Schwaninger) in Zollamt Salzburg, Erstattungen (v nadaljevanju: Zollamt) glede zavrnitve izplačila izvoznih nadomestil za prevoz živega goveda v Albanijo.

13, v nadaljevanju: Uredba �t. 805/68), je določeno, da je pogoj za izplačilo izvoznih
SCHWANINGER with Community legislation concerning animal welfare and, in particular, with that concerning the protection of animals during transport.
SCHWANINGER nadomestil za žive živali spo�tovanje prava Skupnosti v zvezi z dobrim počutjem živali, zlasti določb v zvezi z za�čito živali med prevozom.
Article 1 of Regulation No 615/98 provides that the payment of export refunds for live bovine animals is to be subject to compliance, during the transport of the animals to the first place of unloading in the third country of final destination, with Directive 91/628 and that regulation.
V členu 1 Uredbe 615/98 je določeno, da je pogoj za izplačilo izvoznih nadomestil za živo govedo spo�tovanje določb Direktive Sveta 91/628 in določb navedene uredbe med prevozom živali do prvega kraja iztovarjanja v tretji državi namembnega kraja.
Under Article 2 of that regulation, checks are to be carried out on animals at the point of departure from the customs territory of the European Community.
Na podlagi člena 2 te uredbe se opravi pregled živali, ko te zapustijo carinsko območje Skupnosti.
An official veterinarian is to verify and certify that the animals are fit for the intended journey in compliance with Directive 91/628, that the means of transport by which the animals are to leave that customs territory complies with that directive and that provisions have been made for the care of the animals during the journey in accordance with the directive.
Uradni veterinar mora preveriti in potrditi, da so živali sposobne za predvideno pot v skladu z določbami Direktive 91/628, da je prevozno sredstvo, s katerim bodo živali prepeljane s carinskega območja Skupnosti, v skladu z določbami te direktive in da so bili sprejeti ukrepi za oskrbo živali med potjo v skladu z določbami navedene direktive.
Article 5(1) of Regulation No 615/98 states:
Člen 5(1) navedene uredbe določa:
Pursuant to Article 5(2) of that regulation, applications for the payment of export refunds must be supplemented by proof that Article 1 of that regulation has been complied with, proof which is to be furnished by the production of the control copy T5 and the report drawn up by a control agency, together with the veterinary certificate.
Na podlagi člena 5(2) te uredbe je treba k zahtevku za izplačilo izvoznih nadomestil priložiti dokaz, da je bil člen 1 te uredbe spo�tovan, in sicer je treba priložiti kontrolni izvod T5 ter poročilo o pregledu kontrolne službe skupaj z veterinarskim potrdilom.
Article 5(3) of Regulation No 615/98 provides, however, that the export refund is not to be paid for animals which have died during transportation or for animals in respect of which the competent authority considers, in the light of the documents referred to in Article 5(2) of the regulation, the reports on the checks referred to in Article 4 thereof and/or all other elements at its disposal concerning compliance with Article 1 of the regulation, that Directive 91/628 has not been complied with.
Vendar je v členu 5(3) Uredbe �t. 615/98 določeno, da se izvozno nadomestilo ne izplača za živali, ki so med prevozom poginile, ali za živali, glede katerih pristojni organ na podlagi dokumentov iz navedenega člena 5(2), poročil o pregledih iz člena 4 te uredbe in/ali katerega koli drugega podatka, ki ga ima o spo�tovanju določb člena 1 navedene uredbe, meni, da je bila Direktiva 91/628 kr�ena.
In accordance with Article 1(1)(a) thereof, Directive 91/628 applies to the transport of domestic animals of the bovine species.
V skladu s členom 1(1)(a) Direktive 91/628 se ta direktiva uporablja za prevoz domačega goveda.
Under Article 2(2) of that directive the following definitions are to apply:
Na podlagi člena 2(2) navedene direktive se uporabljajo te opredelitve:
(b) “transport”, any movement of animals, effected by a means of transport, which involves loading and unloading the animals;
(b) ‚prevoz‘ je vsako gibanje živali, ki se izvr�i s prevoznim sredstvom ter vključuje natovarjanje in raztovarjanje živali;
(h) “rest period”, a continuous period in the course of a journey during which animals are not being moved by a means of transport;
(h) ‚čas počitka‘ je neprekinjen čas med potjo, ko se živali ne prevažajo s prevoznim sredstvom;
Article 5A point 2(d) of Directive 91/628 states that the Member States are to ensure that the transporter:
Člen 5, A, točka 2(d) te direktive določa, da države članice zagotovijo, da prevoznik:
‘ensures:
„zagotavlja, da:
(i) that the original copy of the route plan referred to in (b):
(i) je izvirnik načrta poti iz točke (b):
— is duly drawn up and completed by the appropriate persons at the appropriate time,
– ustrezno izdelan in so ga ob ustreznem času izpolnile ustrezne osebe,
(ii) that the staff in charge of the transport:
(ii) osebje, odgovorno za prevoz
— state in the route plan the times and places at which the animals transported have been fed and watered during the journey,
– navede v načrtu poti čas in kraje, kjer so bile živali, ki se prevažajo, med potjo nakrmljene in napojene,
Chapter VII of the annex to Directive 91/628, which constitutes point 48 of that annex, concerns the watering and feeding intervals, journey times and resting periods.
Poglavje VII priloge k Direktivi 91/628, v katerem je točka 48 te priloge, se nana�a na presledke za napajanje in krmljenje, čas na poti in čas počitka.
Point 48 states, inter alia:
Točka 48 med drugim določa:
Journey times for animals belonging to the species referred to in point 1 shall not exceed eight hours.
Čas na poti za živali, ki sodijo med vrste iz točke 1, ne sme presegati osem ur.
The maximum journey time in point 2 may be extended where the transporting vehicle meets the following additional requirements:
Maksimalen čas na poti iz točke 2 se lahko podalj�a, kadar prevozno sredstvo izpolnjuje naslednje dodatne zahteve:
— there is sufficient bedding on the floor of the vehicle,
– na tleh vozila je zadostna količina stelje,
— the transporting vehicle carries appropriate feed for the animal species transported and for the journey time,
– na prevoznem sredstvu je dovolj krme za živalske vrste, ki se prevažajo, in za čas na poti,
— adequate ventilation is possible which may be adjusted depending on the tem -perature (inside and outside),
– na voljo je ustrezno zračenje, ki ga je mogoče ustrezno prilagoditi temperaturi (znotraj in zunaj),

The watering and feeding intervals, journey times and rest periods when using road vehicles which meet the requirements in point 3 are defined as follows:
Za cestna vozila, ki izpolnjujejo zahteve iz točke 3, so presledki za napajanje in krmljenje, čas na poti in čas počitka opredeljeni:
(d) All other animals of the species referred to in point 1 must, after 14 hours of travel, be given a rest period of at least one hour sufficient for them in particular to be given liquid and if necessary fed.
(d) Vse druge vrste živali iz točke 1 morajo po 14 urah prevoza počivati najmanj eno uro, da prejmejo tekočino in po potrebi krmo.
After this rest period, they may be transported for a further 14 hours.
Po tem počitku se jih lahko prevaža �e 14 ur.
After the journey time laid down, animals must be unloaded, fed and watered and be rested for at least 24 hours.
Po določenem času na poti je treba živali raztovoriti, nakrmiti in napojiti, počivati pa morajo najmanj 24 ur.
7. (a) Animals must not be transported by sea if the maximum journey time exceeds that laid down in point 2, unless the conditions laid down in points 3 and 4, apart from journey times and rest periods, are met.
7. (a) Živali se ne smejo prevažati po morju, če maksimalen čas na poti presega čas, določen v točki 2, razen če so izpolnjeni pogoji, določeni v točkah 3 in 4, z izjemo časa na poti in časa počitkov.
(b) In the case of transport by sea on a regular and direct link between two geographical points of the Community by means of vehicles loaded on to vessels without unloading of the animals, the latter must be rested for 12 hours after unloading at the port of destination or in its immediate vicinity unless the journey time at sea is such that the voyage can be included in the general scheme of points 2 to 4.
(b) Pri prevozu po morju na redni in direktni liniji med dvema geografskima točkama v Skupnosti z vozili, natovorjenimi na plovila, brez iztovarjanja živali, morajo te počivati 12 ur po iztovarjanju v namembnem pristani�ču ali v njegovi neposredni bližini, razen če se čas na poti po morju lahko vključi v splo�no shemo točk 2, 3 in 4.
On 23 October 2002, Schwaninger declared the export of 33 bovine animals to Albania and applied for an export refund in that respect.
Schwaninger Martin je 23. oktobra 2002 prijavil izvoz 33 glav goveda v Albanijo in na podlagi tega zahteval dodelitev izvoznega nadomestila.
The animals were first transported for 14 hours by road from Austria to Italy, where they were unloaded at the port of Trieste.
Zadevne živali so se najprej prevažale 14 ur po cesti iz Avstrije v Italijo, kjer so bile raztovorjene v pristani�ču Trst. Po 24 urah počitka, med katerim je bilo govedo nakrmljeno in napojeno, je bilo
SCHWANINGER and watered, the animals were reloaded into the lorry which was then loaded onto a roll-on/roll-off ferry.
SCHWANINGER ponovno natovorjeno na tovornjak, tovornjak pa na trajekt ro-ro.
The crossing from Trieste to Dürres (Albania) lasted 41 and a half hours.
Prevoz od Trsta do Drača (Albanija) je trajal 41 ur in pol.
Finally, the animals were transported by road in the same lorry, without a break, to Lushnja (Albania), where they arrived the same day and were finally unloaded after travelling for 46 hours in all.
Nazadnje se je govedo prevažalo po cesti v istem vozilu in brez prekinitev do Lushnje (Albanija), kamor je prispelo isti dan in kjer je bilo končno raztovorjeno po 46-urnem skupnem trajanju prevoza.
The Zollamt pointed out that the route plan which had been submitted by the applicant did not contain any statements from the staff in charge of the transportation in relation to the intervals at which the animals were fed and watered during the journey by sea and it therefore assumed that the animals had neither been fed nor watered for a period of 46 hours.
Zollamt je ugotovil, da v načrtu poti, ki mu je bil predložen, ni bilo navedb osebja, odgovornega za prevoz, o napajanju in krmljenju živali med prevozom po morju in je iz tega sklepal, da živali niso bile ne krmljene ne napojene 46 ur.
It considered that a subsequent affidavit submitted by the driver of the lorry containing details of the times at which the animals were fed and watered, information which was not entered in the route plan, was irrelevant in this connection.
Poleg tega je menil, da je v zvezi s tem neupo�tevno, da je voznik naknadno podal zapriseženo izjavo, ki je vsebovala podatke o napajanju in krmljenju živali, ki so manjkali v načrtu poti.
Consequently, the Zollamt decided to reject the application for an export refund.
Zato je Zollamt odločil, da zavrne zahtevek za izvozno nadomestilo, ki mu je bil predložen.
Since the action brought against that refusal was dismissed at first instance, on 9 September 2005, Schwaninger brought an appeal before the referring court claiming that, in the judgment under appeal, the decision to refuse the export refund was based solely on the lack of information in the route plan.
Ker je bila tožba, vložena zoper navedeno odločbo o zavrnitvi, zavrnjena na prvi stopnji, je Schwaninger 9. septembra 2005 vložil pritožbo pri predložitvenem sodi�ču, v kateri navaja, da je bilo v izpodbijani razsodbi kot razlog za zavrnitev plačila izvoznega nadomestila upo�tevano le to, da v načrtu poti tega prevoza ni bilo nekaterih podatkov.
Taking the view that the decision in the case turns on the interpretation of certain provisions of Community law, the Unabhängiger Finanzsenat (Independent Finance Tribunal) Salzburg-Aigen decided to stay the proceedings and to refer the following questions to the Court for a preliminary ruling:
Ker je Unabhängiger Finanzsenat Salzburg-Aigen presodilo, da je re�itev spora, o katerem odloča, odvisna od razlage določb prava Skupnosti, se je odločilo da prekine odločanje in Sodi�ču v predhodno odločanje predloži naslednja vpra�anja:
2008 — CASE C-207/06 point of the Community and a geographical point in a third country by means of vehicles loaded on to vessels without unloading of the animals?
2008 – ZADEVA C-207/06 morju na redni in direktni liniji med geografsko točko v Skupnosti in geografsko točko v tretji državi z vozili, natovorjenimi na plovila brez iztovarjanja živali?
By its first question, the referring court essentially asks what is the scope of the reference made in Regulation No 615/98 to Directive 91/628 and, in particular, whether, by virtue of that reference, transport by roll-on/roll-off ferry between a geographical point of the Community and a geographical point in a third country falls within point 48(7)(a) of the annex to that directive or whether it is necessary to apply point 48(7)(b) thereof by analogy.
Predložitveno sodi�če v prvem vpra�anju v bistvu spra�uje, kolik�en je obseg napotila na Direktivo 91/628, določen z Uredbo �t. 615/98, in zlasti, ali ob uporabi tega napotila prevoz po morju s trajektom ro-ro med geografsko točko v Skupnosti in geografsko točko v tretji državi sodi na področje uporabe točke 48, točka 7(a), priloge k tej direktivi, oziroma ali je treba točko 7(b) točke 48 uporabiti po analogiji.
According to the referring court, although point 48(7)(b) of the annex to Direct- ive 91/628 expressly limits its scope to transport by sea between two geographical points of the Community, it is imperative that the scope of that provision may be extended to transport by roll-on/roll-off ferry, such as the one at issue in the main proceedings, between a point situated within the Community and a point situated in a third country.
Predložitveno sodi�če meni, da čeprav točka 48, točka 7(b), priloge k Direktivi 91/628 izrecno omejuje svoje področje uporabe na prevoz po morju med dvema geografskima točkama v Skupnosti, je nujno, da se področje uporabe navedene točke lahko raz�iri na prevoz s trajektom ro-ro, kot je ta v postopku v glavni stvari, ki povezuje točko v Skupnosti in točko v tretji državi.
Such an extension is justified particularly, in the view of that court, by the reference made in Article 1 of Regulation No 615/98 to Directive 91/628, which requires that the provisions of that directive be complied with during the transport of the animals to the first place of unloading in the third country of final destination.
Taka raz�iritev je po mnenju navedenega sodi�ča utemeljena zlasti z napotitvijo, določeno v členu 1 Uredbe �t. 615/98, na Direktivo 91/628, ki zahteva spo�tovanje njenih predpisov med prevozom živali do prvega iztovarjanja v tretji državi končnega namembnega kraja.
As regards the scope of the general reference made by Article 1 of Regulation No 615/98 to Directive 91/628, the Court has held that the purpose of that article is to ensure, for the application of Article 13(9) of Regulation No 805/68, compliance with the relevant provisions of that directive on the welfare of live animals and, in particular, the protection of animals during transport (see, to that effect, Viamex Agrar Handel and ZVK, paragraph 19).
615/98, je Sodi�če razsodilo, da je namen tega člena zagotoviti, za uporabo člena 13(9) Uredbe �t. 805/68, spo�tovanje upo�tevnih določb navedene direktive o dobrem počutju živali in zlasti v zvezi z za�čito živali med prevozom (glej v tem smislu zgoraj navedeno sodbo Viamex Agrar Handel in ZVK, točka 19).
However, the fact that Article 1 of Regulation No 615/98 refers to the provisions of Directive 91/628, establishing the conditions for the payment of refunds, cannot have the effect of modifying the scope of those provisions.
Vendar dejstvo, da se člen 1 Uredbe �t. 615/98 nana�a na določbe Direktive 91/628 o pogojih za izplačilo nadomestil, ne more spremeniti področja uporabe teh določb.
The fact that the Community legislature provided for the application of those provisions until the first place of unloading of the animals in the third country of final destination cannot be interpreted as meaning that the legal scheme applicable to a specific means of transport linking two points within the Community is necessarily applicable to the same means of transport between a geographical point situated within the Community and one situated in the third country concerned.
To, da je zakonodajalec Skupnosti predpisal uporabo navedenih določb do prvega iztovarjanja živali v tretji državi končnega namembnega kraja, se ne sme razlagati tako, da se pravni sistem, ki se uporabi za posebni prevoz, ki povezuje dve točki v Skupnosti, nujno uporabi za enak prevoz med geografsko točko v Skupnosti in geografsko točko v zadevni tretji državi.
Although it is true that Article 1 of Regulation No 615/98 makes the payment of export refunds subject to compliance with the requirements of Directive 91/628, in the various stages of the transportation of animals until the first place of their unloading in the third country of final destination, it must be noted that the requirements laid down in point 48(7)(b) of the annex to that directive expressly refers to intra-Community transport and can thus not be applied to the same type of transport to a third country.
Če je res, da člen 1 Uredbe �t. 615/98 pogojuje izplačilo izvoznih nadomestil s spo�tovanjem predpisov iz Direktive 91/628, v različnih fazah prevoza živali do njihovega prvega iztovarjanja v končnem namembnem kraju v tretji državi, je treba ugotoviti, da se predpisi, določeni v točki 48, točka 7(b), priloge k tej direktivi, izrecno nana�ajo na prevoze znotraj Skupnosti in jih torej ni mogoče uporabiti za take prevoze v tretjo državo.
Point 48 of the annex to Directive 91/628 must be interpreted as meaning, first, that point 48(7)(b) applies to transport by roll-on/roll-off ferry on a regular and direct link between two geographical points of the Community which must, by definition, be in a position to comply with the conditions set out in point 48(7)(b) and, second, that, where that latter provision is not applicable, the requirements laid down in point 48(7)(a) must be complied with.
Točko 48 priloge k Direktivi 91/628 je treba namreč razlagati tako, da se njena točka 7(b) uporablja za prevoze s trajektom ro-ro na redni in direktni liniji med dvema geografskima točkama v Skupnosti, ki morajo biti po definiciji sposobni izpolnjevati pogoje, določene s to točko, oziroma če se zadnjenavedena določba ne uporabi, je treba upo�tevati predpise iz točke 48, točka 7(a).
In those circumstances, it must be held that the reference made in Article 1 of Regulation No 615/98 to Directive 91/628 cannot be interpreted as meaning that point 48(7)(b) of the annex to that directive, whose scope is expressly limited to the case of transport by sea on a link between two geographical points of the Community, must be applied to transport by roll-on/roll-off ferry on a link between a geographical point of the Community and a geographical point situated in a third country.
V teh okoli�činah je treba ugotoviti, da se napotilo na Direktivo 91/628, določeno v členu 1 Uredbe �t. 615/98, ne sme razlagati tako, da je treba točko 48, točka 7(b), priloge k tej direktivi, katere področje uporabe je izrecno omejeno na prevoz po morju na liniji med dvema geografskima točkama v Skupnosti, uporabiti za prevoz s trajektom ro-ro na liniji med geografsko točko v Skupnosti in geografsko točko v tretji državi.
In the light of the foregoing considerations, the answer to the first question must be that Article 1 of Regulation No 615/98 cannot be interpreted as meaning that point 48(7)(b) of the annex to Directive 91/628 must be applied to the case of transport by sea on a link between a geographical point of the Community and a geographical point in a third country by means of vehicles loaded onto vessels without unloading of the animals.
Glede na navedene ugotovitve je treba na prvo vpra�anje odgovoriti, da se člen 1 Uredbe �t. 615/98 ne sme razlagati tako, da je treba točko 48, točka 7(b), priloge k Direktivi 91/628 uporabljati za prevoz po morju med geografsko točko v Skupnosti in geografsko točko v tretji državi z vozili, ki so natovorjena na plovila, ne da bi bile živali iztovorjene.
