Held: It is settled law that only measures by Community institutions having an effect on an individual were challengeable by that individual in this way. The decision to issue proceedings did affect the applicant's legal position, but was not itself determinative of them.

The Italians contended that the Directive operated so as fully to state the law relating to the labelling of chocolate. Held: The requirement operated so as to infringe the Treaty. The directive imposed some restrictions on the use on non-cocoa butter fats and on labelling, but was clear in its terms that it was not intended to be a complete harmonisation of the law to replace national rules. In the absence of such complete harmonisation, the Italian law operated to act a brake on marketing such products by denigrating them. Whilst it was proper to ensure that consumers knew what was in what they were eating, but the product was not so different as to justify the requirement.

The discount was recovered from the manufacturers on surrender of the coupons. They paid VAT on the discounted value, relying upon Gibbs. The commissioners sought VAT on the amount before the discount. Held: The claimant had misinterpreted the Gibbs case. The manufacturer was in this case a third party to the transaction between the customer and shop. That part of the purchase price was payable later by a third party did not affect the VAT situation on that purchase, and VAT was payable by the retailer on the full amount. Where a retailer allowed the consumer to settle the sale price partly in cash and partly by means of a reduction coupon issued by the manufacturer of a product, which then reimbursed to the retailer the amount indicated on the coupon, the nominal value of the coupon so reimbursed fell to be included in the amount subject to VAT on the retail sale to the consumer Sixth Council Directive 77/388/EC 11(A)91) 1 Cites 1 Citers Â Commission v United Kingdom (Judgment) C-63/02; [2003] EUECJ C-63/02 16 Jan 2003 ECJ European Europa Failure of a Member State to fulfil its obligations - Failure to implement Directive 98/83/EC.

He sought holiday pay under the regulations. The employer resisted, saying he was not a worker under the regulation, being still in compulsory full time education. Held: No formal system of holidays operated. Children were not explicitly excluded from the Working Time Directive, but were rather dealt with under the Young Persons' Directive. The Working Time Regulations defined two kinds of workers by age, implicitly excluding children in compulsory full time education. The arrangements for such were rather provided by regulations derived from the Young Person's Directive, and which did not include a right to holiday pay.

The Revenue claimed that that rule did not apply here because the non-Uk subsidiary operated from a country with a double taxation agreement with the UK. Held: The Commissioners case was wrong. The receipt of payments in the Netherlands of tax credits did not operate to extinguish the right to payments within the UK. Those receipts were not countervailing advantages sufficient to justify the refusal of the tax credits within the UK.

He had worked for the respondent as a contractor for many years. He complained that a reference provided by one of the decision makers was inaccurate, and given in bad faith. Held: The papers had failed to raise within the time limit set, the issue of contravention of the regulations. Accordingly it was time barred. The regulation was not invalid under European law. The claimant had failed to show bad faith in such a way as to allow a claim for misfeasance in public office.

The husband was German, and the wife became German upon the marriage, but they had lived in London. The wife was second to issue, beginning proceedings in London. The district judge recorded the parties' agreement that the German court should be seized, save of article 12 matters. The wife obtained an ancillary relief maintenance order, which the husband now appealed. Held: The maintenance order was an unwarranted invasion of the jurisdiction of the German court. It was not protective, and nor was the case urgent. Brussels II has no direct application to ancillary relief claims. It was wrong for an English court to seek to usurp the Convention. Substantial sums had been spent on legal costs unnecessarily in London.

Wathelet, P European, VAT The court identified the need to give an autonomous meaning to the phrase "supply of goods" in article 5(1) of the Sixth Directive as follows: "….. it is clear from the wording of that provision that 'supply of goods' does not refer to the transfer of ownership in accordance with the provisions prescribed by the applicable national law but covers any transfer of tangible property by one party which empowers the other party to dispose of it as if he were the owner of the property. The purpose of the Sixth Directive might be jeopardised if the preconditions for a supply of goods ….. varied from one Member State to another, as do the conditions governing the transfer of ownership under civil law." 1 Citers [ Bailii ] Â SENA (Judgment) C-245/00; [2003] EUECJ C-245/00 6 Feb 2003 ECJ European [ Bailii ] Â Brac Rent-A-Car International Inc Times, 24 February 2003; [2003] EWHC 114 (Ch); Gazette, 01 April 2003; [2003] 2 All ER 201 7 Feb 2003 ChD The Hon Mr Justice Lloyd Insolvency, Jurisdiction, Company, European The company was incorporated in Delaware. Its main centre of business was within the UK. The company resisted an attempt to wind the company up here. Held: The English courts had jurisdiction. The company's contracts were subject to English law, their employees were here, and their contracts also were under UK law. Whilst article 3 did not expressly extend its ambit to companies incorporated outside the EU, it should be read to do so, because its scope was defined primarily by reference to the area of operations of the company, and such an application was not excluded.

The company had traded selling fire extinguishers under the mark Minimax in Benelux countries. They ceased to sell new products but continued to sell spare parts. The mark's registration expired. The complainant sold similarly in Germany under their mark registered there. They challenged the re-registration of the mark, saiying the mark was no longer being used. Held: It was the Community intention that the maintenance of rights in a trade mark be subject to the same condition regarding genuine use in all the Member States. Was the use for the sale of spares only a genuine use? There is `genuine use' of a mark where it is used to guarantee the identity of origin of the goods or services, in order to create or preserve an outlet for those goods or services; but not token use for the sole purpose of preserving the rights conferred by the mark. When assessing whether use of the trade mark is genuine, regard must be had to all the facts and circumstances relevant to establishing whether the commercial exploitation of the mark is real, particularly whether such use is viewed as warranted in the economic sector concerned to maintain or create a share in the market for the goods or services protected by the mark, the nature of those goods or services, the characteristics of the market and the scale and frequency of use of the mark. The fact that a mark is not used for goods newly available on the market but for goods that were sold in the past does not mean that its use is not genuine, if the proprietor makes actual use of the same mark for component parts that are integral to the make-up or structure of such goods, or for goods or services directly connected with the goods previously sold and intended to meet the needs of customers of those goods.

The Cour d'Appel had issued a final judgment in proceedings for registration of the mark in France.

Held: A use was identical within the article if, when used, it both reproduced without any modification or addition, all the elements constituting the trademark, and also where, viewed as a whole by an average consumer, any differences were insignificant. "Art. 5(1)(a) of the Directive must be interpreted as meaning that a sign is identical with the trade mark where it reproduces, without any modification or addition, all the elements constituting the trade mark or where, viewed as a whole it contains differences so insignificant that they may go unnoticed by the average consumer."

The defendant sold goods it had not bought from the claimant, but bearing the mark. The defendant alleged exhaustion of the claimant's rights. Held: The burden of proving exhaustion of rights lay on the defendant, unless he could show that the result would be to create a real risk of the partitioning of the market. If he established that, then the burden of proving that the products had been placed on the market outside the EEAwith his consent so as to disapply article 7(1). The parties disoputed whether the goods were first marketed in the EEA. The importer argued that to disclose its sources would deter its suppliers in the future, thus enabling the proprietor to partition the market in the EEA. The Court of Justice held that Articles 28 and 30EC were applicable so that in such circumstances the proprietor had to show initially that the goods were not first marketed in the EEA with its consent. The Advocate General considered whether there was a duty on the proprietor to assist the importer identify the source of goods.

His shipping company had faced organised anti-competitive attempts by the respondents to put him out of business. Held: A cause of action for breach of a statutory duty first arises when the breach causes damage to the claimant: "In this connection it is important to recognise that there are different ways in which such a breach may cause damage. Thus, an isolated event amounting to such a breach may cause a chain of damage development commencing when the effects of the breach first affect the claimant, and those [effects] may continue for a long period of time. If that period commences prior to the cut-off date for the purposes of the period of limitation, the claim will prima facie be time-barred notwithstanding that the effects of the breach may continue beyond that date. The position is similar to a claim in tort for negligence. By contrast, there may be a continuing or repeated breach of statutory duty, over an extended period, such as an unlawful emission of toxic fumes which continues to affect and injure those exposed to it over the whole period of that breach. In such a case, if the limitation cut-off date occurs during the period, the claimant's cause of action for the damage suffered after the date in question will not be time-barred." Colman J concluded that the case before him fell into the latter category.

Held: The Directive set out principles for the recognition of medical qualifications within the Union. The Order applied the Directive. The article 43 right of establishment is mediated through a combination of the very broad principle in Article 43 EC and any in specific community legislation. Rights of establishment are not to be used to put a person relying on rights derived from movement between member states in a better position than the citizens of the host state to which he moves.

Held: Though the provisions did not discriminate against other member states, it nevertheless operated in breach of the treaty.

Protected designations of origin - Regulation (EEC) No 2081/92 - Regulation (EC) No 1107/96 - Prosciutto di Parma - Specification - Requirement for ham to be sliced and packaged in the region of production - Articles 29 EC and 30 EC - Justification - Whether requirement may be relied on against third parties - Legal certainty - Publicity. The court considered whether ham which had been produced in Parma, but sliced and packaged elsewhere coud still use the restricted designation of origin 'Parma Ham' Held: The restriction on the designation to include only ham sliced and packaged in Parma was indeed a restriction on trade (29), but was justified (30). The regulation allowed the conditions of designation to be set by the national authorities. The conditions here included conditions as to the place where the ham was sliced and packaged. When the new regulations came in, existing designations were passported under a simplified procedure which did not sufficiently clearly set out the conditions attached, and therefore in this case those conditions had not been sufficiently well advertised to attain the necessary legal certainty.

On attempting to have that judgement enforced, the Chancery court found that the European Court had made a finding of fact contrary to the original court, and had therefore acted in excess of jurisdiction, and had refused to enforce it. Held: The true characterisation of the judgement of the European Court was that it had not depended upon the finding of fact referred to. The issue at the heart of the judgment was whether the registration rights would be affected by use of the mark by a third party. The sale by the defendant of goods bearing the claimant's marks carried the same inference as to origin of those sold by the club. Appeal allowed. The policy conern is that "Unchecked use of the mark by a third party, which is not descriptive use, is likely to damage the function of the trade mark right because the registered trade mark can no longer guarantee origin, that being an essential function of a trade mark." 1 Cites 1 Citers [ Bailii ] Â Korhonen and others (Rec.2003,p.I-5321) (Judgment) C-18/01 22 May 2003 ECJ European Â Commission v Germany (Judgment) C-103/01; [2003] EUECJ C-103/01 22 May 2003 ECJ European [ Bailii ] Â Freskot (Judgment) C-355/00; [2003] EUECJ C-355/00 22 May 2003 ECJ European [ Bailii ] Â Commission v Netherlands C-441/01; [2003] EUECJ C-441/01 22 May 2003 ECJ European, Health and Safety ECJ Failure of a Member State to fulfil obligations - Directive 89/391/EEC - Measures to encourage improvements in the safety and health of workers at work - Article 7(3).

Held: The court did not hold that since the fundamental right of assembly was in issue it followed that the free movement rules were ousted. Instead the freedom of assembly was in principle capable of justifying a restriction on free movement, and that was answered by reference to the question whether the restriction was justifiable and proportionate.

The claimed entitlement to credit under the regulations. Held: The second stage was a recycling process, but the first was not. A reprocessor was someone carrying out the process of recovery or recycling. 'Recycling' means reprocessing in a production process of the waste materials for the original purpose or for other purposes including organic recycling, but excluding energy recovery'. The provision of the 94 Directive were lex specialis as regards the earlier Directive, and it related to packaging waste only. Such packaging waste had to be worked to enable new material or product to be made from it with characteristics comparable to those of the material from which it was derived. Advocate General Alber said: "The Court of Justice has thus refused to make classification of a material as waste dependent on its economic value, its fitness for reuse . . or the environmental hazards posed by it . . The holder's conduct can be appraised only with regard to his intentions, a fact which causes the body applying the law considerable difficulties. The Court of Justice solves this problem by inferring an intention to discard the substance from objective indicators; in doing so it has regard both to all the factual circumstances and to the aim of the waste Directive . .''

After falling into debt, he challnged the prices he had been obliged to pay as contravening the Treaty. The European Court had held that there was a possible claim under the Treaty. Held: The UK market in beer did not operate to exclude competition from those who wished to enter the market or increase their market share, and so the claim failed the first test set by the European Court. The fact that the comeptition within the UK between suppliers was vigorous did not however determine the issue where the proportion of tied houses was so high as to prevent newcomers getting a foothold in the market..

The Court has thus repeatedly held that it is not always necessary formally to enact the requirements of a directive in a specific express legal provision, since the general legal context may be sufficient for implementation of a directive, depending on its content. In particular, the existence of general principles of constitutional or administrative law may render superfluous transposition by specific legislative or regulatory measures provided, however, that those principles actually ensure the full application of the directive by the national authorities and that, where the relevant provision of the directive seeks to create rights for individuals, the legal situation arising from those principles is sufficiently precise and clear and that the persons concerned are put in a position to know the full extent of their rights and, where appropriate, to be able to rely on them before the national courts (see, inter alia, Case 29/84 Commission v Germany [1985] ECR 1661, paragraphs 22 and 23, and Case C-217/97 Commission v Germany, cited above, paragraphs 31 and 32)." 1 Citers [ Bailii ] Â Skandia and Ramstedt (Judgment) C-422/01; [2003] EUECJ C-422/01 26 Jun 2003 ECJ European [ Bailii ] Â Skandia and Ramstedt (Rec.2003,p.I-6817) (Judgment) C-422/01 26 Jun 2003 ECJ European Â Glencore Grain Rotterdam (Rec.2003,p.I-6769) (Judgment) C-334/01 26 Jun 2003 ECJ European Â Commission v France (Rec.2003,p.I-6625) (Judgment) C-233/00 26 Jun 2003 ECJ European Â KapHag (Rec.2003,p.I-6851) (Judgment) C-442/01 26 Jun 2003 ECJ European Â Glencore Grain Rotterdam (Judgment) C-334/01; [2003] EUECJ C-334/01 26 Jun 2003 ECJ European [ Bailii ] Â MGK-Kraftfahrzeuge-Factoring (Judgment) C-305/01; [2003] EUECJ C-305/01 26 Jun 2003 ECJ European [ Bailii ] Â Commission v Spain (Judgment) C-404/00; [2003] EUECJ C-404/00 26 Jun 2003 ECJ European [ Bailii ] Â Barker, Regina (on the Application of) v London Borough of Bromley [2003] UKHL 45 30 Jun 2003 HL Bingham of Cornhill, Steyn, Hope of Craighead, Hutton, and Scott of Foscote European, Planning, Environment The House referred to the European Court the question as to whether an environmental impact assessment was required if outline permission having been granted without an assessment, the matter proceeds with approval of the matters reserved.

He sought to argue that the European Regulations had been implemented in the UK in an unduly restrictive form. He entered a plea of guilty on a ruling that it was not open to him to challenge the regulations. Held: The Regulations, which sought to control the use of parallel imports of pesticides, did appear to implement the regulation more tightly. The definition of what was materially identical to an approved pesticide created unnecessarily restrictions on approvals. The Directive was of direct effect. Boddington did not apply, but the importance of the case to the defendant was not properly a Boddington condition of challenging the legislation.

Silber J had refused permission to apply for judicial review. Held: The appeal was dismissed. The declarations sought were "unsuitable to be the subject of a court pronouncement". The question of whether or not a referendum should be held before Parliament passed the legislation necessary to incorporate the treaty was "a matter of political judgment and not for the courts." 1 Citers [ Bailii ] Â Barbe v Parliament (Rec.2003,p.FP-IA-183,II-919) (Order) T-371/02 15 Jul 2003 ECFI European Â Barbe v Parliament (Order) T-371/02; [2003] EUECJ T-371/02 15 Jul 2003 ECFI European [ Bailii ] Â Wagemann-Reuter v Court of Auditors (Judgment) T-81/02; [2003] EUECJ T-81/02 17 Jul 2003 ECFI European [ Bailii ] Â Wagemann-Reuter v Court of Auditors (Rec.2003,p.FP-IA-185,II-933) (Judgment) T-81/02 17 Jul 2003 ECFI European Â Cvrd/Caemi (Case No Comp/M.3161 - Mergers) [2003] ECComm 47 18 Jul 2003 ECMM European [ Worldlii ] Â Heineken/Bbag (Case No Comp/M.3195 - Mergers) [2003] ECComm 48 18 Jul 2003 ECMM European [ Worldlii ] Â Dsm/Roche Vitamins (Case No Comp/M.2972 - Mergers) [2003] ECComm 49 23 Jul 2003 ECMM European [ Worldlii ] Â Joint Selling Of The Commercial Rights Of The Uefa Champions League (Comp/C.2-37.398 - Antitrust) [2003] ECComm 50 23 Jul 2003 ECMM European [ Worldlii ] Â Linea GIG v Commission (Order) C-233/03 24 Jul 2003 ECJ European Â Commission v Artegodan and others C-39/03 24 Jul 2003 ECJ European 1 Cites 1 Citers Â Sicilcassa and others (Order) C-297/01 24 Jul 2003 ECJ European Â Altmark Trans and Regierungsprasidium Magdeburg v Nahverkehrsgesellschaft Altmark GmbH C-280/00; [2003] EUECJ C-280/00 24 Jul 2003 ECJ European, Transport ECJ Regulation (EEC) No 1191/69 - Operation of urban, suburban and regional scheduled transport services - Public subsidies - Concept of State aid - Compensation for discharging public service obligations Regulation (EEC) No 1191/69 [ Bailii ] Â Messejana Viegas (Order) C-166/02 24 Jul 2003 ECJ European Â Light and Others v Ty Europe Ltd Times, 21 August 2003; [2003] EWCA Civ 1238; Gazette, 02 October 2003; [2003] EuLR 858 25 Jul 2003 CA Ward, Tuckey LJJ, Lightman J European, Agency The claimants sought damages under the regulations.

Common agricultural policy - Articles 32 EC to 38 EC - Regulation (EEC) No 804/68 - Common organisation of the market in milk and milk products - Target price for milk - Regulation No 26 - Application of certain competition rules to the production of and trade in agricultural products - Whether Member States may apply national competition rules to milk producers who choose to organise themselves into cooperatives and hold market power. The claimants asserted that the Respondents had sought to interfere wrongfully in their commercial activities insofar as they sought to create vertical integration of their market, ading new products to their existing ones. Held: The existence of an EC community organisation of a particular economic sector, in this case the market for milk products, did not preclude a national authority involving itself in the regulation of that sector within its boundary provided it took no step which might undermine or create exceptions to that common organisation. The Court may refuse to rule on a question referred for a preliminary ruling by a national court only where it is quite obvious that the interpretation of Community law that is sought bears no relation to the actual facts of the main action or its purpose, where the problem is hypothetical, or where the Court does not have before it the factual or legal material necessary to give a useful answer to the questions submitted to it.

He was deported, but to Ireland where his new spouse was then established. He sought to rely upon the case of Surinder Singh to support his application for entry clearance and revocation of the deportation order. Both he and his spouse now worked in Ireland. His application was refused on the basis that the stay in Ireland was temporary and intended only ever to generate a right to return to England. Held: Singh held that freedom of movement was given to the spouse of a national of a member state, and enjoy the same rights as his spouse. The regulation however was silent as to the rights of a foreign national married to a national of a member state to access to the Community territory. The regulation rights did not apply if the marriage was not genuine, or if the spouse was not lawfully resident in the first state.

She was first told that she would have to wait a year. As her lawyers pressed the respondent, she looked at obtaining treatment in France. As she decided to take the treatment, the respondent reduced the waiting time to four months. She sought judicial review, and to recover the cost of the treatment. Held: The claimant had no remedy in domestic law. The respondent could refuse the certificate which would allow her to recover the cost for lack of medical necessity only if the the same treatment could be offered locally without an undue waiting time. In this case, the one year wait was unreasonable, but the four months was not undue, and a certificate had been properly refused. Though the claimant failed on the particular facts, her argument was correct.

The Commission had found that the agreements incorporated Opel's policy of trying to restrict export sales to consumers in other Member States. Held. The CFI upheld the Commission's finding that Opel had adopted a strategy of seeking to curtail exports. However, the Court found that the Commission had failed to prove that this strategy had been communicated to the dealers, still less that it had become incorporated into their dealership contracts. Although that aspect of the decision was therefore annulled, the CFI nonetheless found that the terms of Opel's bonus payment scheme for its dealers, which expressly excluded export sales from the bonus system, became an integral part of the dealership contracts and thus were governed by the pre-established general agreement. They therefore constituted an agreement within the terms of Article 101(1) which had the object of restricting exports. 1 Citers [ Bailii ] Â van Calster and Cleeren (Rec.2003,p.I-12249) (Judgment) C-261/01 21 Oct 2003 ECJ European Â Birkhoff v Commission (Rec.2003,p.FP-IA-245,II-1185) (Judgment) T-302/01 21 Oct 2003 ECFI European Â Editions Albert Rene v OHMI (Judgment) T-311/01; [2003] EUECJ T-311/01 22 Oct 2003 ECFI European [ Bailii ] Â Editions Albert Rene v OHMI (Rec.2003,p.II-4625) (Judgment) T-311/01 22 Oct 2003 ECFI European Â RTL Television (Rec.2003,p.I-12489) (Judgment) C-245/01 23 Oct 2003 ECJ European Â Adidas-Salomon and Adidas Benelux (Rec.2003,p.I-12537) (Judgment) C-408/01 23 Oct 2003 ECJ European Â Nilsson (Judgment) C-154/02; [2003] EUECJ C-154/02 23 Oct 2003 ECJ European [ Bailii ] Â Scherndl (Judgment) C-40/02; [2003] EUECJ C-40/02 23 Oct 2003 ECJ European [ Bailii ] Â Rioglass and Transremar (Judgment) C-115/02; [2003] EUECJ C-115/02; [2003] ECR I-12705 23 Oct 2003 ECJ European, Intellectual Property Motor car windows bearing the trade marks of a number of French motor car makers were lawfully made in Spain. Under a customs suspensive procedure they were being exported outside the EU to Poland. French Customs seized them whilst in transit in France. Held: There was no trade mark infringement: "With respect to trade marks, it is settled case-law that the specific subject-matter of a trade mark is, in particular, to guarantee to the owner that he has the exclusive right to use that mark for the purpose of putting a product on the market for the first time and thus to protect him against competitors wishing to take unfair advantage of the status and reputation of the trade mark by selling products illegally bearing it. The implementation of such protection is therefore linked to the marketing of the goods. Transit, such as that in issue in the main proceedings, which consists in transporting goods lawfully manufactured in a Member State to a non-member country by passing through one or more Member States, does not involve any marketing of the goods in question and is therefore not liable to infringe the specific subject-matter of the trade mark. Furthermore, as Advocate General Mischo noted at point 45 of his Opinion, that conclusion holds good regardless of the final destination of the goods in transit. The fact that the goods are subsequently placed on the market in a non-member country and not in another Member State does not alter the nature of the transit operation which, by definition, does not constitute a placing on the market." 1 Citers [ Bailii ] Â Bat/Eti (Caso N.

The directive required member states to apply its regulations in replacement of any earlier legislation. The 1974 Act, it said was therefore outdated. Held: The employer could be prosecuted either under the 1974 Act or under the machinery regulations. The Regulations were designed to implement the Directive by working alongside the 1974 Act, rather than by replacing it, and the Regulations explicitly preserved the power to prosecute under the 1974 Act. However, the Secretary had failed to notify the EC of the prohibition of the machinery, and therefore the prosecution must in any event fail.

It is sufficient, as the wording of that provision itself indicates, that such signs and indications could be used for such purposes. A sign must therefore be refused registration under that provision if at least one of its possible meanings designates a characteristic of the goods or services concerned.” 1 Citers [ Bailii ] Â Van den Bergh Foods v Commission (Judgment) T-65/98; Times, 07 November 2003 23 Oct 2003 ECFI European, Commercial The applicant sold ice cream. Retailers were supplied with freezer cabinets at low or nil cost, but the cabinets were only to include the claimant's goods. In practice this excluded other manufacturer's products from shops. The commission found that this restrictive effect resulted from the limitations on space in shops, and affected some 83% of shops. Held: The contractual restrictions had to be judged not only on their strict legal form, but also on their practical effect. The result in this case was to distort competition. This was evidenced by the fact that shops did include other products whenever they had the chance. No exemption was to be granted.

Held: "In circumstances such as those in the main proceedings, the alteration of the employment relationship is nevertheless connected to the transfer. It is clear from the file that SBU wished merely to bring the terms upon which it offered early retirement to employees of Redwood College into line with those offered until that time to its other employees and, in such circumstances, an alteration of the employment relationship must be regarded as connected to the transfer. That the situation in the main proceedings is of that type is confirmed by the fact that, immediately after the transfer, SBU offered the employees from Redwood College a contract of employment on its terms, which the applicants nevertheless refused. It should, however, be stated that the mere fact that the applicants had joined the higher education retirement scheme has no bearing on this analysis: that factor concerns their retirement rights per se, which are the subject of the derogations under Article 3(3) of the Directive, and not the terms of early retirement. Since the transfer of undertaking is indeed the reason for the unfavourable alteration of the terms of early retirement offered to the employees of that entity, any consent given by some of those employees to such an alteration is invalid in principle.” 1 Citers [ Bailii ] Â Karageorgou (Taxation) C-79/02 C-79/02; [2003] EUECJ C-79/02 6 Nov 2003 ECJ JP Puissochet, P VAT, European Sixth VAT Directive - Article 21(1)(c) - Persons liable to tax - Person mentioning the tax on an invoice - Tax paid in error by a non-taxable person and included in the invoice established by that person [ Bailii ] Â Commission v United Kingdom C-434/01; [2003] EUECJ C-434/01 6 Nov 2003 ECJ European, Animals, Environment ECJ Failure of a Member State to fulfil obligations - Directive 92/43/EEC - Conservation of natural habitats - Wild fauna and flora Directive 92/43/EEC [ Bailii ] Â Ninni-Orasche v Bundesminister fur Wissenschaft, Verkehr und Kunst [2004] All ER (EC) 765; [2003] ECR I-13187; C-413/01; [2003] EUECJ C-413/01 6 Nov 2003 ECJ J-P Puissochet, P European, Education ECJ Freedom of movement for workers - Article 48 of the EC Treaty (now, after amendment, Article 39 EC) - Concept of worker - Contract of employment of a short term fixed in advance - Retention of the status of worker after end of employment contract - Conditions for the grant of social advantages within the meaning of Article 7(2) of Regulation (EEC) No 1612/68 - Study finance "In order to be treated as a worker, a person must nevertheless pursue an activity which is effective and genuine, to the exclusion of activities on such a small scale as to be regarded as purely marginal and accessory (see, in particular, Levin Case 53/81, paragraph 17, and Meeusen Case 337/97, paragraph 13)."

There had been some delay between their resignations and the new arrangements. The employee claimed the protection of the directive, saying that there had been a transfer of an undertaking, with employees, premises and database. It was said that the Regulations failed properly to implement the directive, having allowed ambiguity about the need for a single point for a transfer. Held: The question should be referred to the European Court of Justice, and also the Court should be asked how such a single time be identified.

The mother had brought the child to England with the consent of the court, and then obtained an apparently conflicting order here. Held: There was a conflict between the Regulation and the Convention as scheduled to the 1985 Act. The London order had been expressly set out in order to allow the gradual bringing into effect of the French order, and so did not conflict with it. Access orders cannot be treated as having been written in stone, and enforcement after some time and in different circumstances may be problematic. The Regulation prevailed over the Act. When the mother became resident in England, the French court ceased to have exclusive jurisdiction. The judge was correct to order the registration of the father's order here and to make his own order. Appeal and cross-appeal dismissed.

They said that the Directive required the respondent to control compliance through criminal sanctions. The respondent had adopted a scheme of only civil enforcement.

The objectives of the Directive were not to be confused with the means of attaining them. The respondent was entitled to conclude that a criminal code might be counter-productive.

In considering the adequacy of such implementation, the ECJ stated: "As to whether it is sufficient, for the purposes of transposing the Second Directive, to rely on an existing body, it must be borne in mind that, whilst legislative action on the part of each Member State is not necessarily required in order to implement a directive, it is essential for national law to guarantee that the national authorities will effectively apply the directive in full, that the legal position under national law should be sufficiently precise and clear and that individuals are made fully aware of all their rights and, where appropriate, may rely on them before the national courts . . . In those circumstances, it must be held that a body may be regarded as authorised by a Member State within the meaning of Article 1(4) of the Second Directive where its obligation to provide compensation to victims of damage or injury caused by unidentified or insufficiently insured vehicles derives from an agreement concluded between that body and a public authority of the Member State, provided that the agreement is interpreted and applied as obliging the body to provide victims with the compensation guaranteed to them by the Second Directive and provided that victims may apply directly to that body" Directive 84/5/EEC 1 Citers [ Bailii ] Â Ge/Agfa Ndt (Case No Comp/M.3136 - Mergers) [2003] ECComm 83 5 Dec 2003 ECMM European [ Worldlii ] Â Mark Alderson and others v Secretary of State for Trade and Industry [2003] EWCA Civ 1767; Times, 12 December 2003; Gazette, 22 January 2004 8 Dec 2003 CA Lady Justice Arden Lord Philips Of Worth Matravers, Mr Lord Justice Dyson Employment, European The claimant had been employed in a government department, the work of which was transferred to a private company. He sought to claim compensation for the adverse changes in his contract. Held: At the time, the Regulations gave protection only to employees of commercial enterprises. This did not properly implement the directive, and accordingly the claimant had been deprived of his private right to claim. There remained the right to claim directly from the respondent.

The scope for the subsequent regulations were, to the extent they were not excluded by subsection (3), all directly applicable European Regulations applied whether or not they predated the 1964 Act. "offence-creating provisions must always be expressed with sufficient clarity and precision. But the mechanism chosen by Parliament for implementing Community obligations is a matter of legislative choice for Parliament. Particularly where Community legislation may be changed frequently, Parliament may choose to adopt an approach which does not involve making new implementing regulations whenever Community legislation changes. Courts should not approach the interpretation of implementing statutes or regulations as though there were a presumption that they do not embrace future changes in Community legislation. There is no such presumption."
