Employment, European
There is an inherent conflict between the need to promote freedom of competition, and the need to restrict competition to promote continuity of employment. The transfer of undertakings regulations must apply to the re-allocation of public service contracts. The absence of any direct contractual connection between the transferor and transferee of a contract was important but not decisive as to whether the regulations should apply.

The issue by a company of shares is a supply of services for the purposes of VAT. The issue of shares was 'something done' by the company, as required by the Directive. The consideration received for such shares was part of the company's turnover, and therefore a VATable supply.

If, at the time a plant was placed in a pot to be grown, it was also intended that the pot should be used when the plant was sold, then the pot was deemed to be packaging and was subject to the rules with regard to packaging recycling obligations. The pots into which the plants were finally transplanted were expected to be discarded by customers. The primary purpose was not for the growth of the plants, but was used as 'packaging conceived so as to constitute a sales unit' The original purpose was only one element of all the circumstances which the court should look at.

ECJ 1. Since aid concerns an indeterminate group of persons, the sole purpose of the requirement that aid authorisation under Article 93(3)of the Treaty (now Article 88(3)EC)be notified is to oblige the Commission to ensure that all persons who may be concerned are alerted. Publication of an authorisation notice in the Official Journal is an adequate means of informing all those concerned that aid has been authorised by the Commission on the basis of that article.
If the details given in the notice are sufficiently precise to enable a third party to realise that it is definitely concerned by the aid authorised, it may not subsequently challenge the lawfulness of the measure on the basis of Article 92 (now, after amendment, Article 87 EC)and Article 93 of the Treaty if it did not challenge the decision authorising the aid within the time-limits laid down by Article 173 of the Treaty (now Article 230 EC).
( see paras 48 to 50 )
2. Where the Commission has decided to proceed no further with a complaint regarding competition and not to carry out an investigation, the purpose of the review of legality to be made by the Court of First Instance is to ensure that the contested decision is not based on materially incorrect facts or vitiated by an error of law, a manifest error of appraisal or misuse of powers.
( see para. 74 )
3. It is clear from the general scheme of the Treaty that the procedure provided for in Article 92 (now, after amendment, Article 87 EC)and Article 93 of the Treaty (now Article 88 EC)must never produce a result which is contrary to the specific provisions of the Treaty. The Commission's obligation to ensure that Articles 92 and 93 of the Treaty are applied consistently with other provisions of the Treaty is all the more necessary where those other provisions pursue the same aim of ensuring undistorted competition in the common market.
However, aspects of aid which contravene provisions of the Treaty other than Articles 92 and 93 may be so indissolubly linked to the object of the aid that it is impossible to evaluate them separately.
Where this is so, the effects of those aspects on the compatibility or incompatibility of the aid as a whole must be assessed by means of the procedure under Article 93 of the Treaty. The position is different, however, if it is possible when aid is being analysed to separate those conditions or factors which, even though they form part of the aid, may be regarded as not being necessary for the attainment of its object or for its proper functioning.
In the case of disputed measures forming part of aid authorised by the Commission, the Court must first determine whether the measures are aspects or elements of the aid authorised and, if so, whether they entail restrictive effects which go beyond what is necessary for the aid to attain the objectives permissible under the Treaty.

VAT, European
Where a part or whole of a business was sold as a going concern, not all the VAT on the expenses of the sale was to be set off against VAT. The entire amount of VAT could only be set off where the assets sold were sold as a properly identifiable part of the taxable person's economic activity. There had to be a direct link between the VAT costs on the acquisition of the items later sold. The sale of the business was not a sale utilising the assets purchased.

Immigration, European, International
The applicant had a British Passport, but had a British overseas citizen without a right of residence. Temporary leave to stay was renewed but eventually terminated. She claimed to be a citizen and therefore under European law entitled to freedom of movement within the EU. When the UK became a member of the EU it declared how it wished nationality to be defined. This was renewed and altered with the new Immigration Act. Customary international law allowed states to have different classes of citizenship with different rights, and her rights were determined by reference to the 1982 declaration.

VAT, European
A capital item had been acquired partly for business and privately for private purposes. It had been bought from a private non-taxable individual, but later came to be used exclusively within the business, before being sold. On this sale, this was now a business asset, and was the transaction was chargeable to VAT. The fact of charging repair bills to VAT was not conclusive to determine whether it was a business asset since the rules were different for repairs and assets.

Europa Freedom to provide services - Temporary deployment of workers for performance of a contract - Directive 96/71/EC - Guaranteed minimum.
A French company, ISA provided security services in France and employed a small number of workers as security officers at a shopping mall in Belgium. ISA challenged the obligation to pay minimum wages as required by Belgian law. Held: Since the thirteen workers enjoyed comparable overall protection in the home Member State and there was thus no obligation to pay the minimum wage: " . . as regards more specifically national provisions relating to minimum wages such as those at issue in the main proceedings, it is clear from the case law of the court that community law does not preclude member states from extending their legislation or collective labour agreements entered into by both sides of industry, relating to minimum wages, to any person who is employed, even temporarily, within their territory, regardless of the country in which the employer is established."

European, Corporation Tax
The British law which meant that non-resident parent companies of British based businesses were not able to recover interest on payments of advance corporation tax, was discriminatory against other European based companies. Accordingly the law was contrary to Community law: '... it is contrary to Community law for a national court to refuse or reduce a claim brought before it by a resident subsidiary and its non-resident parent company for reimbursement or reparation of the financial loss which they have suffered as a consequence of the advance payment of corporation tax by the subsidiary, on the sole ground that they did not apply to the tax authorities in order to benefit for the taxation regime which would have exempted the subsidiary from making payments in advance and that they therefore did not make use of the legal remedies available to them to challenge the refusals of the tax authorities, by invoking the primacy and direct effect of the provisions of Community law, where upon any view national law denied resident subsidiaries and their non-resident parent companies the benefit of that taxation regime.'
Europa It is contrary to Article 52 of the Treaty (now, after amendment, Article 43 EC) for the tax legislation of a Member State to afford subsidiary companies resident in that Member State the possibility of benefiting from a taxation regime (group income election) allowing them to pay dividends to their parent company without having to pay advance corporation tax where their parent company is also resident in that Member State but to deny them that possibility where their parent company has its seat in another Member State.
Where a subsidiary resident in one Member State has been obliged to pay advance corporation tax in respect of dividends paid to its parent company having its seat in another Member State even though, in similar circumstances, the subsidiaries of parent companies resident in the first Member State were entitled to opt for a taxation regime that allowed them to avoid that obligation, Article 52 of the Treaty (now, after amendment, Article 43 EC) requires that resident subsidiaries and their non-resident parent companies should have an effective legal remedy in order to obtain reimbursement or reparation of the financial loss which they have sustained and from which the authorities of the Member State concerned have benefited as a result of the advance payment of tax by the subsidiaries.
The mere fact that the sole object of such an action is the payment of interest equivalent to the financial loss suffered as a result of the loss of use of the sums paid prematurely does not constitute a ground for dismissing such an action, for the award of interest represents the reimbursement of that which was improperly paid and would appear to be essential in restoring the equal treatment guaranteed by Article 52 of the Treaty.
While, in the absence of Community rules, it is for the domestic legal system of the Member State concerned to lay down the detailed procedural rules governing actions for repayment of taxes levied in breach of Community law or for reparation of loss caused by breach of Community law, including ancillary questions such as the payment of interest, those rules must not render practically impossible or excessively difficult the exercise of rights conferred by Community law.
Actions brought by individuals before the courts of a Member State for repayment of national taxes levied in breach of Community law or for reparation of the loss caused in breach of Community law are subject to national rules of procedure which may, in particular, require applicants to act with reasonable diligence in order to avoid loss or damage or to limit its extent.
It is, however, contrary to Community law for a national court to refuse or reduce a claim brought before it by a subsidiary resident in that Member State and its non-resident parent company for reimbursement or reparation of the financial loss which they have suffered as a consequence of the advance payment of corporation tax by the subsidiary, on the sole ground that they did not apply to the tax authorities in order to benefit from the taxation regime which would have exempted the subsidiary from making payments in advance and that they therefore did not make use of the legal remedies available to them to challenge the refusals of the tax authorities, by invoking the primacy and direct effect of the provisions of Community law, where upon any view national law denied resident subsidiaries and their non-resident parent companies the benefit of that taxation regime.

European, Customs and Excise
Article 6 (1) of the Directive was designed to establish the point in time at which the excise duty becomes actually chargeable, but not to determine the person from whom the duty should be claimed. Any production, processing, holding or circulation outside a suspension arrangement gives rise to the chargeability of the excise duty. In those circumstances, once it is established before the national court that such a product has departed from a suspension arrangement without the excise duty having been paid, it is clear that the holding of the product in question constitutes release for consumption within the meaning of Article 6 (1) of the Directive and that the duty has become chargeable.

Europa In the context of Article 65 of the ECSC Treaty, the absence of notification of an agreement cannot prevent the Commission from examining its legality, since the Commission is entitled to act on its own initiative in order to ensure that the rules of competition are complied with. However, in such an examination of the legality of an agreement, the Commission is bound to take account of the legal and factual context and, in particular to rely on the precise provisions of the agreement.
Information exchange agreements are not generally prohibited automatically by Article 65 of the ECSC Treaty but only if they have certain characteristics relating, in particular, to the sensitive and accurate nature of recent data exchanged at short intervals.
Where the Commission has based its assessment of an agreement on the combined effect of the exchange of the three ECSC questionnaires 2-71, 2-73 and 2-74, even though the notified agreement does not provide for the exchange of ECSC questionnaire 2-73, which specifically furnishes the most accurate and detailed data and is accordingly likely to reveal the strategy of the various producers, this has the effect of completely invalidating the analysis made by the Commission. If the Commission had taken account of the real scope of the notified agreement, which is limited to the exchange of data on the sales of the participating undertakings alone, without distinguishing between the different consumer sectors, and which allows market shares to be calculated only approximately, it is not inconceivable that its evaluation would have been different and that it would have considered that the agreement was not contrary to Article 65(1)of the ECSC Treaty.

The 1990 Regulation, SI 1990 No 2854, should be construed in the light of the European Directive. The Institute was exempt from Value Added Tax. Its aims of promoting and supporting the proper administration of justice, and the early resolution of disputes, were sufficiently in the public interest, and so closely connected to the administration of justice to bring it within the section as amended by the regulation. The Directive did not require that the body should be altruistic, and it was not relevant that the decision might lead to other bodies also becoming exempt.

Europa By introducing and maintaining in force legislation on Value Added Tax under which medicinal products reimbursable under the social security system are taxed at the reduced rate of 2.1% whereas other medicinal products are taxed at the reduced rate of 5.5%, a Member State has not failed to fulfil its obligations under Article 12 of Sixth Directive 77/388 on the harmonisation of the laws of the Member States relating to turnover taxes.
The rate of value added tax of 2.1%, which is below the minimum rate of 5% laid down in Article 12(3)(a) of the Sixth Directive, is justified under Article 28(2)(a) of that directive in so far as that rate existed on 1 January 1991, is in accordance with Community law, in so far as it is consistent with the principle of fiscal neutrality inherent in the common system of value added tax, given that reimbursable and non-reimbursable medicinal products are not similar products in competition with each other, and meets the criteria set out in the final indent of Article 17 of the Second Directive inasmuch as the application of the reduced rate to reimbursable medicinal products clearly constitutes a social reason, as it necessarily reduces the charges borne by the social security system and also benefits final consumers, whose health expenses are thereby reduced.

4 May 2001
EAT
His Honour Judge Peter Clark
Employment, European
The council sought to make redundancies because of its financial circumstances following re-organisation. The employees said the consultation procedure had been a sham. Held: Fair consultation involves giving the body consulted a fair and proper opportunity to understand fully the matters about which it is being consulted, and to express its views on those subjects, with the consulter thereafter considering those views properly and genuinely. That consultation was not to be as to the reasons for the proposals, but the employer could not do away with consultation because it would make no difference. The Tribunal was right to consider that the consultation was a sham insofar as the decision had already been taken by the time of the consultation. The tribunal had however made no finding as to the defence of special circumstances. The EAT found however that the decision of the tribunal was plainly and unarguably right, and that the error of law was of no effect. The appeal was dismissed.
HHJ Clarke said: "(3) Subject-matter of consultation
We have earlier observed that the employer is not obliged to consult as to his reasons for proposing redundancies: ex parte Vardy. However, consultation must ('shall') include consultation about ways of avoiding dismissals: reducing the number of employees to be dismissed and mitigating the consequences of the dismissal, and shall be undertaken with a view to reaching agreement with the unions: s .188(2)."

The Commission ought to have realised, in the light of the wording of headings No 8471 and No 8517, read in conjunction with the explanatory notes, as worded when those regulations were adopted, that it was wrong to classify those types of network equipment under heading No 8517. That error is manifest and consequently renders those regulations invalid.
Items of computer network equipment which are connectable to the central processing unit either directly or through one or more other units, which are specifically designed as part of a data-processing system, which are able to accept or deliver data in a form which can be used by the system and which have no function that they would be capable of performing without the assistance of an automatic data-processing machine must be classified under heading No 8471 of the Combined Nomenclature.

ECJ Failure by a Member State to fulfil its obligations - Directive 93/13/EEC - Unfair terms in consumer contracts - Incomplete transposition of the directive into national law. As to the applicable principles in transposing Directives as fully effective in national law: "The Court has explained that . . the Member States must define a specific legal framework in the sector concerned which ensures that the national legal system complies with the provisions of the directive in question. The framework must be designed in such a way as to remove all doubt or ambiguity, not only as regards the content of the relevant national legislation and its compliance with the directive, but also as regards the authority of that legislation and its suitability as a basis for regulation of the sector . . Consequently, given that the Member State concerned is required to ensure the full and exact application of the provisions of any directive, it falls short of its obligations so long as it has not completely complied with [the directive], even if that [domestic] law has to a large extent already secured the objectives of the directive. Any rights conferred by [the] directive must be guaranteed full protection . . Regard must be had to the Court's consistent concern to ensure that the existing national legislation leaves no doubt as to the effects of the directive upon the legal position of individuals. In the words of the Court, 'it is particularly important, in order to satisfy the requirement for legal certainty, that individuals should have the benefit of a clear and precise legal situation enabling them to ascertain the full extent of their rights and, where appropriate, to rely on them before the national courts.'"

Europa The Combined Nomenclature, set out in Annex I to Regulation No 1359/95 amending Annexes I and II to Regulation No 2658/87 on the tariff and statistical nomenclature and on the Common Customs Tariff, and repealing Regulation No 802/80, is to be interpreted in such a way that a product called a child carrier, which is designed for carrying a child in a seated position on an adult's back, consists essentially of a support frame of aluminium tubing and a child's seat of synthetic material, is assembled by being sewn together, is padded at the sides and at head level, and fitted out with safety belts, padded shoulder straps and a textile waist band, and which includes a pocket for storing small items under the seat, is to be classified under tariff heading 6307, in application of general rule 3(b) for the interpretation of the Combined Nomenclature. The textile parts that give such a product its essential character fall under that heading.

A company made arrangements for finance for its customers to purchase products at an apparent zero rate of interest. In fact the finance company deducted an undisclosed commission before forwarding payment to the shop. The shop wanted to pay VAT only on the amount it received. It was held to be liable on the amount paid by the consumer. The taxable amount was the consideration, and the consideration was the amount paid by the customer. The deduction was by way of set off under a different, parallel contract. It was necessary to achieve parity between different kinds of transactions as seen by the purchaser.

Europa Common Customs Tariff - Combined nomenclature - Classification of a multi-function machine combining the functions of printer, photocopier, facsimile machine and computer scanner - Principal function - Validity of Regulation (EC) No 2184/97.
Classification regulations are adopted "when the classification in the CN of a particular product is such as to give rise to difficulty or to be a matter for dispute." and "It should be borne in mind that a classification regulation is adopted … on the advice of the Customs Code Committee when the classification of a particular product is such as to give rise to difficulty or to be a matter for dispute. . . . The classification regulation constitutes the application of a general rule to a particular case, and thus contains guidance on the interpretation of the rule which can be applied by the authority responsible for the classification of an identical or similar product."

Agents of a mail order company were allowed to claim sums in credit for their own sales, against their own purchases. The credit was in effect applied through a separate account with the company. How was the VAT 'taxable amount' to be calculated? Here the deduction was not applied after the purchase, and were not therefore discounts. Many discounts were not in fact applied for. The VAT was to be calculated on the full purchase price less discounts applied at the time when the discount was withdrawn from the account.

European, Discrimination
Europa The intention of the Community legislature was to grant entitlement to the household allowance under Article 1(2)(a) of Annex VII to the Staff Regulations only to married couples. Only the legislature can, where appropriate, adopt measures to alter that situation, for example by amending provisions of the Staff Regulations. The fact that, in a limited number of Member States, a registered partnership is assimilated, although incompletely, to marriage cannot have the consequence that, by mere interpretation, persons whose legal status is distinct from that of marriage can be covered by the term married official as used in the Staff Regulations. According to the definition generally accepted by the Member States, the term marriage means a union between two persons of the opposite sex. Since 1989 an increasing number of Member States have introduced, alongside marriage, statutory arrangements granting legal recognition to various forms of union between partners of the same sex or of the opposite sex and conferring on such unions certain effects which, both between the partners and as regards third parties, are the same as or comparable to those of marriage. It is clear, however, that apart from their great diversity, such arrangements for registering relationships between couples not previously recognised in law are regarded in the Member States concerned as being distinct from marriage. In such cirumstances the Community judicature cannot interpret the Staff Regulations in such a way that legal situations distinct from marriage are treated in the same way as marriage.

ECJ 1. An action for annulment brought by a natural or legal person is not admissible unless the applicant has an interest in seeing the contested measure annulled. Such an interest can be present only if the annulment of the measure is itself capable of having legal consequences.
That is the case for annulment of a decision terminating the expiry review of anti-dumping measures under Article 11(2) of the basic anti-dumping regulation (Regulation No 384/96) initiated at the request of an association of production companies representing the Community industry. (see paras 26-29)
2. It is clear from the first subparagraph of Article 11(2) of the basic anti-dumping regulation (Regulation No 384/96) that retention of a measure depends on the result of an assessment of the consequences of its expiry, that is, on a forecast based on hypotheses regarding future developments in the situation on the market concerned. It is also clear that the mere possibility that injury might continue or recur is insufficient to justify retaining a measure; that is dependent on the likelihood of continuation or recurrence of injury being established. It is not necessary for there to be proof of the continuation or recurrence of injury, merely that there should exist a likelihood of this. (see paras 42, 44)
3. In the context of an expiry review of anti-dumping measures under Article 11(2) of the basic anti-dumping regulation (Regulation No 384/96), the assessment of the likelihood of recurrence of the injury after expiry of the measures adopted calls for an appraisal of complex economic questions in which the Community institutions have a wide discretion. Judicial review of such an assessment must therefore be limited to verifying whether the procedural rules have been complied with, whether the facts on which the contested choice is based have been accurately stated and whether there has been a manifest error in assessing those facts or a misuse of powers. (see para. 46)
4. The conditions for initiating an expiry review of anti-dumping measures should not be confused with the conditions for retaining the measures. It is clear from the broad logic of Article 11(2) of the basic anti-dumping regulation (Regulation No 384/96) that it is sufficient for the purposes of initiating a review that the request submitted on behalf of the Community industry be supported in particular by evidence of one of the three situations listed in the second sentence of the second subparagraph of Article 11(2). Those three situations do not, as such, constitute criteria for assessing the likelihood of recurrence of injury within the meaning of the first subparagraph of Article 11(2).
As far as the first situation is concerned, a review should be initiated on the basis of sufficient evidence that dumping and injury are continuing; it is not necessary that continuation be already established. However, the existence of such evidence should not prejudice the result of the review. As far as the second situation is concerned, admittedly a review should be conducted where the request contains sufficient evidence that removal of the injury is due in whole or in part to the existence of measures. However, removal alone does not support the conclusion that it is likely that injury will recur if the measures expire. The third situation concerns expressly the likelihood of further injurious dumping. It is not necessary, however, in order for a review to be initiated, that the circumstances of exporters and the market conditions which make recurrence of dumping and injury likely be actually established. The request for a review need merely contain evidence on which to base the relevant inquiry. However, in order to retain measures in accordance with the first subparagraph of Article 11(2) of the basic regulation, the circumstances surrounding that likelihood must be established on the basis of the results of an investigation. (see paras 51-56)
5. The rule laid down in Article 6(1) of the basic anti-dumping regulation (Regulation No 384/96) that information relating to a period subsequent to the investigation period is not, normally, to be taken into account applies also to investigations relating to expiry reviews.
Article 11(2) of the basic regulation makes the retention of protective measures after the expiry of a five-year period conditional upon the conduct of an investigation in accordance with the basic regulation in order to establish the factual data from which the likelihood of recurrence of injury may be inferred. However, where the results of such an investigation are insufficient to justify retaining anti-dumping duties, the basic regulation provides that they should expire. That means that factors which arise after the investigation period cannot be taken into account in order to retain anti-dumping measures. (see paras 74, 76-77)

Rules within the Irish republic which differentiated between imported precious metal goods and such goods produced internally, were contrary to European law as measures having effect as quantitative restrictions on imports. The rules affected were those, prohibiting distribution of imported goods with descriptions appropriate to their country of origin, requiring extra and sponsor's marks, requiring second stamping of Irish hallmarks, and establishing differences between Irish and non-Irish hallmarked goods of the same type and standard.

European
Europa By application lodged at the Registry of the Court on 28 November 2000, the Commission of the European Communities brought this action under Article 226 EC for a declaration that, by failing to adopt all the laws, regulations and administrative measures necessary to comply with Directive 98/4/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 16 February 1998, amending Directive 93/38/EEC coordinating the procurement procedures of entities operating in the water, energy, transport and telecommunications sectors (OJ 1998 L 101, p. 1) or, at all events, by failing to communicate the same to the Commission, the French Republic has failed to comply with its obligations under that directive.

2 Under Article 2(1) of Directive 98/4 Member States were to bring into force the laws, regulations and administrative measures necessary to comply with the directive by 16 February 1999 and to inform the Commission thereof forthwith.

3 Taking the view that Directive 98/4 had not been transposed into French law within the prescribed period, the Commission started the procedure in respect of failure to fulfil Treaty obligations. Having given the French Republic formal notice to submit its observations, the Commission, on 18 February 2000, sent a reasoned opinion to the French Republic requesting it to adopt the measures necessary to comply with it within two months from the date of notification of the opinion. Since it received no information as to whether the transposition of the directive had been completed, the Commission brought the present action.

4 Pointing out the obligations of the Member States under the third paragraph of Article 249 EC, the Commission submits that the French Republic was required to take the measures necessary to comply with Directive 98/4 within the prescribed period.

5 The French Republic, which does not deny the failure, states that Directive 98/4 is in the course of transposition.

6 Since the directive has thus not been transposed within the prescribed period, the Commission's action must be regarded as well founded.

7 It must therefore be held that, by failing to adopt, within the prescribed period, all the laws, regulations and administrative measures necessary to comply with Directive 98/4, the French Republic has failed to fulfil its obligations under that directive.

ADI appealed against a decision that, when they took over a services contract, there had been a transfer within the Regulations. Held: Though no assets tangible or otherwise, had been transferred, this was a contract to provide services at a location and in circumstances, and the EAT found an economic entity. The state of the European and domestic authorities is unsatisfactory. The hearing had taken place between the two ECM judgments. Emphasis is placed on the need to take all relevant factors into account. The present case is to be regarded as an example of a labour intensive case, such as was Süzen, but the EAT had not considered the reason for not taking on the previous employees.
May LJ said: "In my view confusion and uncertainty have arisen because the need for a legal transfer or merger, still present in the Directive, has been eliminated by purposive judicial interpretation, yet the perceived need to find a transfer of some kind remains."

Two tourists were injured whilst on holiday in Spain. One recovered damages in Spain; the other sued the tour operators here, and the Spanish hotel operator resisted being joined, saying that his business being in Spain, he should not be sued here. The Regulations clearly enabled the tour operator to be sued here, and the operator in turn could seek his indemnity from the hotel operator here under the Convention. The parties could not be protected from the possibility of facing different consequences from different courts when there were several linked cases. The cases were referred to the European Court of Justice for their decision.

Employment, European
The rule in United Kingdom law under which the entitlement to be paid annual leave arose only after an employee had been continuously employed for 13 weeks, did not satisfy European law. Members of the applicant trade union were typically employed on short term repeating contracts and did not receive paid annual holidays. The Directive sought to improve working conditions for employees. There were certain derogations, but not from Article 7, the particular applicable condition. The right was a social right directly conferred on each worker, and the UK regulations were incompatible with that right.

Europa Equal pay for men and women - Conditions of application - Difference in pay - Definition of 'the same work and 'work of equal value - Classification, under a collective agreement, in the same job category - Burden of proof - Objective justification for unequal pay - Effectiveness of a specific employee's work.
Ms Brunnhofer worked in an Austrian bank and claimed equal pay with a male colleague. Both were classified under a collective agreement in the same category but from the time of his recruitment the male received an individual supplement higher than the supplement received by Ms Brunnhofer. The Bank claimed that there were rejected reasons for the difference in the supplements. According to the Bank the male comparator carried out more important functions than Ms Brunnhofer who is not authorized to enter into binding commitments on behalf of the Bank, and also the quality of their work was said to be different. Held: "the fundamental principle laid down in Article 119 of the Treaty and elaborated by the Directive precludes unequal pay as between men and women for the same job or work of equal value, whatever the mechanism which produces such inequality, unless the difference in pay is justified by objective factors unrelated to any discrimination linked to the difference in sex . . . " A finding of inequality in pay between the appellant and her main comparator would not be sufficient basis for concluding that discrimination prohibited by Community Law exists. Firstly, it must be ascertained whether the employees concerned were performing work of equal value and secondly “the differences in treatment prohibited by article 119 are exclusively those based on the difference in sex of the employees concerned – see Jenkins”. The ECJ then set out a stage by stage approach with the onus firstly on the employee to prove that her pay was less than that of her comparator and that her work was the same or of equal value so that “prime facie she is the victim of discrimination which can be explained only by the difference in sex”

(Judgment) Community law did not recognise the rights of animals as fundamental. The applicant owned animals, which fell to be destroyed as part of a preventive cull to protect against the spread of foot and mouth disease. The animals would not be moved nor mix with other animals. They claimed that the ban on vaccination which left the cull as an only alternative, was made without regard to a principle of promoting the welfare of animals. The protection of animals was neither an objective of the community, nor a principle of law. The directive was not manifestly inappropriate.

"the criterion to be applied is not whether the measure adopted by the legislature was the only one or the best one possible but whether it was manifestly inappropriate"

Where there had been a meeting between competing companies, and where the purpose of the meeting was anti-competitive, the unilateral disclosure by only one company of its pricing plans did not mean that there could be no question of an agreement or concerted practice under Art 85. The presence at the meeting with an anti-competitive purpose eliminated advance uncertainty about the future behaviour of its competitors, and the company would use other information it itself gained in order to determine its own future plans.

As penalties were not harmonised within Community law, it remains open to member states to choose the penalties which seem appropriate to them. They must, however, exercise that power in accordance with Community law and its general principles, and consequently with the principle of proportionality. The administrative measure or penalties must not go beyond what is strictly necessary for the objectives pursued and a penalty must not be so disproportionate to the gravity of the infringement that it becomes an obstacle to the freedoms enshrined in the treaty.

His Honour Judge Peter Clark
European, Employment
The applicant had worked as a waitress for the company, working as they requested, and also at her own option. She claimed the right to paid leave under the working time regulations. The tribunal found that she had been continuously employed for 13 weeks. The regulations required that the relationship be governed by a contract of employment during such a period. The provisions are opaque, but the rules as to calculation of weekly pay are not relevant in calculating continuous employment, and the regulations provide the entire definition. In this case there was no mutuality of obligation either to provide or undertake work, and accordingly there was no contract of service. The regulation may not correctly implement the Directive in this respect.

The Board had established a database of information about horse racing. It was costly. The defendants recovered the information from a licensed user, and used it for its own business purposes. It was not suggested that the licensee had any right to sub-licence the data. The Board had succeeded, at first instance, in arguing that the defendant had infringed its database rights. It was argued that the judge had failed to acknowledge that the defendants had not taken advantage of the way in which the maker had rendered the contents individually accessible. However nothing the regulations required that element. Nevertheless, in a case where any doubt as to the interpretation of a directive required resolution, that question could be referred to the European Court of Justice. It was so referred.

(Opinion) "It is an essential characteristic of many toys, and of all those classed as dolls, that they represent something. The characteristics of a toy motorcycle differ from those of a toy giraffe, and are certain to be perceived immediately by potential purchasers as defining the nature of the toy (and as relevant to their purchasing choice). In trade, the terms ‘motorcycle’ and ‘giraffe’ (or ‘racing motorcycle’, ‘baby giraffe’ etc. ) are important to both buyer and seller in identifying the class or subclass of toy in question. It would surely not be compatible with Article 7(1)(c) to register ‘Giraffe’ or ‘Motorcycle’ for the relevant class of toy. The situation is the same for a child’s doll representing a new-born baby, a princess, a soldier or any other kind of person.”

Employment, European
The employer appealed a finding that there had been continuity of employment between itself and a previous employer. The employees had sought a statement as to their terms of employment. The employer was a training and enterprise council, to whom the employees had first been seconded from the Department of Employment. There was an unresolved dispute at the time about whether continuity of employment was maintained. The EAT noted the statutory presumption in favour of continuity. The organisation was a labour intensive one. The Tribunal had been right to ask first what it was had been transferred, and then when. The tribunal was correct in allowing a wide interpretation of the meaning of 'undertaking' under the regulations. The employees had resigned before taking up employment, and so were not employed immediately before the transfer. The appeal was allowed.

Where the applicant had had to pay a fine to the commission, but the amount of the fine was later reduced by the court, the Commission was obliged to pay interest on the excess payment. An annulment of a judgment operated retroactively, and the obligation to re-instate the applicant's position included an obligation to pay interest necessary to achieve that effect.

Lord Phillips MR, Lord Justice HenryContract, European, Commercial
Several companies put in bids for communications licences. The auction terms required some companies to disassociate themselves from each other. The successful companies who met this requirement were required to begin payments immediately, but others were allowed to commence payments on compliance with the preconditions. The claimant sought judicial review of the decisions, as providing state aid. It was held that such fortuitous consequences of a contract could not be described as state aid, and indeed as an auction or trade sale by competitive tender, it was outside the rules against state aid.

ECJ Article 59 of the Treaty (now, after amendment, Article 49 EC) and Article 60 of the Treaty (now Article 50 EC) do not preclude a Member State from imposing national rules guaranteeing entitlement to paid leave for posted workers on a business in the construction industry established in another Member State which provides services in the first Member State by posting workers for that purpose, on the two-fold condition that: (i) the workers do not enjoy an essentially similar level of protection under the law of the Member State where their employer is established, so that the application of the national rules of the first Member State confers a genuine benefit on the workers concerned, which significantly adds to their social protection, and (ii) the application of those rules by the first Member State is proportionate to the public interest objective pursued.
Article 59 of the Treaty (now, after amendment, Article 49 EC) and Article 60 of the Treaty (now Article 50 EC) do not preclude the extension of the rules of a Member State which provide for a longer period of paid leave than that provided for by Directive 93/104, concerning certain aspects of the organisation of working time, necessary for the social protection of construction workers to workers posted to that Member State by providers of services in the construction sector established in other Member States during the period of the posting.
Article 59 of the Treaty (now, after amendment, Article 49 EC) and Article 60 of the Treaty (now Article 50 EC) do not preclude national rules from allowing businesses established in the host Member State to claim reimbursement of expenditure on holiday pay and holiday allowances from the paid leave fund, whereas it does not provide for such a claim in the case of businesses established in other Member States, but instead provides for a direct claim by the by the posted workers against the fund, in so far as a difference in their treatment is justified by objective differences between businesses in the construction sector established in the host Member State and those established in other Member States as regards the effective implementation of the obligation to give holiday pay to workers.
The obligation, imposed by national rules designed to provide effective protection of workers in the construction industry, in particular as regards their entitlement to paid leave, on undertakings established in another Member State which post workers to work in the national territory, to disclose more information to the paid leave fund than employers established in the host Member State constitutes a restriction on the freedom to provide services within the meaning of Article 59 of the Treaty (now, after amendment, Article 49 EC).
Such a restriction may be justified only if it is necessary in order to safeguard, effectively and by appropriate means, the overriding public interest of the social protection of workers.
It is for the national court to determine, having regard to the principle of proportionality, the type of information that the authorities of the Member State concerned may reasonably require of providers of services established in another Member State. For this purpose, the national court should consider whether the objective differences between the position of businesses established in the national territory and that of businesses established in other Member States objectively require the additional information required of the latter.
Article 59 of the Treaty (now, after amendment, Article 49 EC) and Article 60 of the Treaty (now Article 50 EC) preclude the application of a Member State's scheme for paid leave to all businesses established in other Member States providing services to the construction industry in the first Member State where businesses established in the first Member State, only part of whose activities are carried out in that industry, are not all subject to that scheme in respect of their workers engaged in that industry.

The Commissioners appealed an order reinstating the registration of the respondents for VAT. The respondents made largely exempt supplies. They were members of a group of companies, each trading similarly. They had sought an alteration from group registration to individual registrations. Such registrations were voluntary because their vatable turnover would be below the limits. The Directive recognised the difficulties created by smaller companies, and allowed national schemes to deal with this. Nevertheless there was no obligation to make such arrangements, and the companies could not complain of the lack of such arrangements. The cancellations of registrations stood.

It is possible that in some circumstances the same enactment may be construed differently according to whether it applies in circumstances covered by a directive. Arden LJ approved the following passage from Bennion: "It is legitimate for the national court, in relation to a particular enactment of the national law, to give it a meaning in cases covered by the Community law which is inconsistent with the meaning it has in cases not covered by the Community law. While it is at first sight odd that the same words should have a different meaning in different cases, we are dealing with a situation which is odd in juristic terms."

BNFL sought permission to operate a plant manufacturing MOX fuel from nuclear waste. The applicants sought judicial review of the respondent's permission. The Act provided no way of challenging a plant before its construction. When permission was sought, it was on the basis that the construction costs, of £300 million, having already been incurred no longer formed part of the economic equation against which it was to be assessed. There was no formal requirement for such an assessment but case law suggested it was required to test the economic benefit of the development. The claimants argued that the assessment should include the capital costs. The assessment should not be arbitrarily affected by the time at which it was carried out. The Minister argued that the law gave him a wide discretion as to how it should be assessed. Held: Although the discretion was not as wide as had been argued, the Secretary of State had adopted a classic economic approach to sunk costs. That was within his discretion. Review refused.

An injunction was sought to prevent retailers marketing in the EEA products which had been obtained outside the EEA for resale within the EEA but outside the controlled distribution system. Held: Silence alone was insufficient to constitute implied consent for the resale within the EEA of goods otherwise than in accordance with a licence from the Trade Mark owner in cases where he sought to establish a scheme of distributing only to licensed distributors and sales outlets. A consent might be implied in other circumstances. Exhaustion of rights did not take place by marketing the goods outside the EEA. Explicit consent was necessary for any exhaustion of rights, and it was for the trader alleging consent to prove it. Articles 5 to 7 of the directive embody a 'complete harmonisation' of the rules relating to the rights conferred by a trade mark, define the rights of trade mark proprietors in the Community.
Europa Trade marks - Directive 89/104/EEC - Article 7(1) - Exhaustion of the rights conferred by a trade mark - Goods placed on the market outside the EEA -Imported into the EEA - Consent of the trade mark proprietor - Whether consent required to be express or implied - Law governing the contract -Presumption of consent - Non-applicability.
(1) Articles 5 and 7TMD embodied a complete harmonisation of the rules relating to the rights conferred by a mark and the limitation on the rule of European Union exhaustion; (2) the mere fact that the proprietor of a trade mark has consented to the first marketing of goods using his mark outside the EEA does not mean that he has consented to the marketing of those goods in the EEA., and (3) the proprietor of a mark does not have to ensure that those goods bear a warning that they may not be placed on the market within the EEA. Therefore, the proprietor of a trade mark has the right to control whether or not goods using his mark are first marketed in the EEA.

The activities of a prostitute are typically those of a self-employed person, and the rules about freedom of establishment applied. Activity was pursued by a self-employed person if it was (I) outside any relationship of subordination concerning the choice of the activity or conditions of work and remuneration, (ii) under that person’s own responsibility, and (iii) in return for remuneration paid to that person directly and in full. Because the provider satisfied the beneficiary for consideration without producing or transferring material goods, it was a provision of services for remuneration within "economic activities as self-employed persons" in the Association Agreements and "activities as self-employed persons" in article 52 of the Treaty, which meant the same.

The claimants were trustees of the estate of James Joyce, and complained at the publication of unpublished parts of the work Ulysses in a readers edition by the defendants. Published works are protected for fifty years after the author's death, but unpublished works received protection for fifty years after the work was created. A European Directive had extended the protection to 70 years. Held: The work was complex, with many amendments and an unsettled form. The defendant had done much preparatory work before publication, and that work had begun before the copyright was revived by the new regulations. Had he acquired his own copyright so that the original Joycean copyright was not revived by the new regulations. The claimants suggested that it was absurd to make a substantial distinction between the work as published by Joyce, and the unpublished texts from which that work was gathered. The regulations protected works where arrangements for publication had been made before the regulations came into effect. The term 'arrangements for publication' should be construed not too widely, and the defendant's editorial activities were not sufficient to give him protection. The defendants sought a compulsory licence under regulation 24. In this case they had given sufficient notice to be entitled to a licence. The claimants sought damages for passing off, claiming that the work was so different from Joyce's own as to be misleading. The claim was unusual but failed.

The claimant challenged the grant of outline permission to develop the Crystal Palace, arguing that no Environmental Assessment had taken place. The need for one depended upon whether the directive had been properly incorporated into English Law. Did an outline permission and subsequent approval of reserved matters require an environmental impact assessment? Held: The Directive was to be interpreted so as to give it a wide scope. The reserved matters would affect the appearance of the site. The 1988 Regulations would not require an assessment for approval of reserved matters. Nevertheless the Directive did not require assessments at each stage of a permission. There is no lacuna in the Regulations.

ECFI In principle, the issue of the admissibility of the main application must not be examined in proceedings relating to an application for interim measures so as not to prejudge the substance of that case. Where, however, it is contended that the main application from which the application for interim measures is derived is manifestly inadmissible, it may prove necessary to establish the existence of certain factors which would justify the prima facie conclusion that the main application is admissible.
In the absence of serious evidence enabling the Court to consider that the main application is admissible, an application for interim measures seeking, first, suspension of the operation of a Commission decision refusing the applicant access to certain documents relating to the abandonment of a proceeding in application of Article 81 EC against other undertakings and, second, suspension of the proceeding against itself, must be declared inadmissible.
As to the first head of the application, a decision refusing the applicant access to certain documents relating to the abandonment of a proceeding against other undertakings, is not capable of producing legal effects of such a nature as to affect the applicant's interests immediately, before any decision finding an infringement of Article 81(1) EC and possibly imposing a penalty on it is adopted.
As to the second head of the application, the judge hearing an application for interim relief cannot in principle accede to a request for interim measures seeking to prevent the Commission from exercising its powers of investigation after the opening of an administrative procedure and even before it has adopted the definitive acts whose operation is sought to be avoided. If such measures were adopted, the judge hearing the interim application would not be reviewing the activity of the defendant institution but assuming the role of that institution in the exercise of purely administrative powers. Consequently, the applicant is not entitled to request under Articles 242 EC and 243 EC that the defendant institution be prohibited, even provisionally, from exercising its powers in the course of an administrative procedure. Such an entitlement could only be recognised if the application were to present evidence from which the judge hearing the interim application could find that there were exceptional circumstances justifying the adoption of the measures requested.

Europa The aim pursued by Decision 93/731 on public access to Council documents, as well as being to ensure the internal operation of the Council in conformity with the interests of good administration, is to provide the public with the widest possible access to documents held by the Council, so that any exception to that right of access must be interpreted and applied strictly.
The principle of proportionality requires that derogations remain within the limits of what is appropriate and necessary for achieving the aim in view. In the absence of any reason to show why an institution should be able to keep secret the items of information in a document which are not covered by the exceptions laid down in Article 4(1) of Decision 93/731, a refusal to grant partial access would be manifestly disproportionate for ensuring the confidentiality of the items of information covered by one of those exceptions. The aim pursued by the Council in refusing access to the contested report could be achieved even if the Council did no more than remove, after examination, the passages in the report which might harm international relations.

When assessing the economic and social benefits of a new radiation-producing process, the Secretary of State was not obliged to include in the costs, the capital already invested in the plant. BNFL proposed to bring on-line a mixed oxide fuel (MOX) plant. The balances was to be weighed at the time of the decision, at which point costs already incurred were no longer applicable. There is a standard economic principle of ignoring sunk costs which would never be recovered.

Europe had banned the export of beef from England to prevent the sale of BSE infected meat. The ban was lifted under strict conditions set under Community veterinary advice. The French Republic retained their ban, and continued it despite instruction from the Commission to lift it, saying that their own national Food Safety Agency said there were still unresolved questions, regarding the traceability of certain product. Those concerns remained apposite as to some pre-packed products, but as to the rest the complaint was upheld.

Telefónica challenged Spanish legislation requiring it to offer interconnection at local and higher-level switching centres. It contended that that should only be a matter of agreement between operators. It was recorded that Telefónica had been notified as having significant market power. The provision it challenged did not fall within those matters identified in part 1 of Annex VII of the Interconnection Directive, which identifies those areas where a NRA may set ex ante conditions. Held: The absence of any reference in Part 1 did not preclude an NRA from laying down ex ante conditions provided they were referred to in Part 2 "When such authorisation appears necessary in order to facilitate the introduction of competition and further the interests of users."

Europa On a proper construction of Article 13B(d)(5) of the Sixth Directive 77/388 on the harmonisation of the laws of the Member States relating to turnover taxes transactions in securities means transactions liable to create, alter or extinguish parties' rights and obligations in respect of securities; it does not mean the supply of a mere physical, technical or administrative service which does not alter the legal or financial situation. Negotiation in securities does not cover services, performed by a subcontractor to a party to a contract relating to a financial product, limited to providing information about the financial product and, as the case may be, receiving and processing applications for subscription to the relevant securities, without issuing them. It does, on the other hand, cover the separate service rendered to a party to such a contract by an intermediary consisting, amongst other things, in pointing out suitable opportunities for the conclusion of such a contract, making contact with another party or negotiating, in the name of and on behalf of a client, the detail of the payments to be made by either side.

The claimants asserted that citrus fruit exported from Turkish Cyprus via Turkey, and certified in Turkey, should not be imported. Imports required phytosanitary certificates conforming to European standards. They asserted that the regulations required the goods to certified in their country of origin. The European court had said that certificates issued in third countries could be valid under appropriate circumstances, according to the matters certified. The question has not been settled as to the application of the certificate to the packaging in a third country and the question referred to the European Court.

The applicants sought revocation of the defendant's trade marks on the grounds that they had not been implemented after five years. It was sensible to go straight from the Directive, rather than the Act which implemented it. The onus was on the holder to demonstrate use. One claim was for medical use, but the product had not been licensed for such, and the registrar had deemed it unused. What amount and kind of use will suffice to prove that a mark has been put to genuine use within the meaning of the Article? Provided there is nothing artificial about a transaction under a mark, then it will amount to "genuine" use. There is no minimum. Remaining questions were to be referred to the European Court for interpretation of the Article.
