10 European Court of Justice and the preliminary rulings on «undertaking» Date of Publication, Case number the Authority releasing the ruling the legal basis of the Court of Justice ruling the national court involved the parties of the national proceeding (=main proceeding) the Treaty provisions at issue who submitted any observation summary of the main proceeding (=national proceeding) = what happened at the national level Which were the conclusions drawn by the Court of Justice and how the Court reached such conclusions
11 Concept of Undertaking Court of Justice Case law/preliminary rulings: Which are the parties? Which is the reference number of the Court of Justice s proceeding? Which is the national court at issue? And why does the national court suspend the main proceeding? Which are the Treaty provisions concerned? How about the main proceeding pending before the national court? What happened? Which are the conclusions drawn by the Court of Justice? And how does the Court reach such conclusions (main steps of the Court s reasoning)? Please, remember that the Court of Justice carries out a purposive/teleological interpretative analysis of Treaty provisions and legal norms!
12 European Court of Justice and the preliminary rulings on «undertaking» Becu Case Law/Judgement Same Information; More detailed Information Summary of the main proceeding Questions referred to the Court of Justice (by the national court) The conclusions made by the Court of Justice and how the Court achieved such conclusions (the way of reasoning)
13 Becu Case Law/Judgement According to 1973 Royal Decree, the dock work covers (para. 7) 'the handling in any form of goods transported by sea-going ship or inland waterway vessel, by railway goods wagon or lorry, and the ancillary services connected with those goods, whether such operations take place in docks, on navigable waterways, on quays or in establishments engaged in the importation, exportation and transit of goods, as well as the handling in any form of goods transported by sea-going ship or inland waterway vessel to or from the quays of industrial establishments.
14 Becu Case Law/Judgement The term handling means loading, unloading, stowing, unstowing, restowing, unloading in bulk, unmooring, classifying, sorting, sizing, stacking, unstacking, and assembling and disassembling individual consignments The Royal Decre mentioned above provides for the main conditions to be recognised as dockers (paragraph 12): 1. be a person of good conduct and good moral character; 2. have been declared medically fit by the dock-work medical service; 3. be aged between 21 and 45 years inclusive; 4. have a sufficient knowledge of the language of the trade to be able to understand all orders and instructions regarding the work to be done; 5. have attended preparatory courses on safety at work; 6. have the technical competence necessary to be able to do the work; 7. not have been the subject of a measure withdrawing recognition as a docker...
15 Poucet and Pistre Case Law Main (=national) proceeding: Mr Poucet and Pistre asked the Court (Social Security Court) to declare legally not enforceable the order of paying social security contributions to two funds (Assurances Generales de France and Caisse Autonome Nationale de Compensation) because they want to be free of choosing their insurance company. They assume that such insurance organization, based on French law, did not comply with Treaty provions on competition. National Court/Question posed to the Court of Justice: according to Treaty rules on competition, can the French laws establish an organization (the above mentioned funds) entrusted with the management of a special social security system? Or can this system facilitate restrictions of competition?
16 Poucet and Pistre Case Law The Court of Justice s approach and conclusions: Provided that, in the Court og Justice case law, the concept of «undertaking» covers every entity engaged in an economic activity, regardless of the legal status of the entity and the way it is financed, the Court tried to establish whether the provision of insurance services by French funds is of economic nature. To ascertain whether French insurance system is an activity of economic nature, the Court of Justice analyses how this system works. Indeed, in theory, the provision of insurance services may be considered an undertaking, actually it depends on how this activity is organized and performed. How is the provision of insurance services is organized by the french funds? How is the provision of insurance services is performed by the French funds?
17 Eurocontrol Case Law Main (=national) proceeding: SAT refused to pay flights route charge to Eurocontrol and Eurocontrol brought an action against SAT before the Belgian court to get the route charges in the period from September 1981 to December Sat justified the refuse to pay the flight route charges assuming that Eurocontrol conduct was contrary to art. 102 and 106 TFEU. Belgian Court stayed and asked the Court of Justice for a preliminary ruling. The question: Is Eurocontrol an «undertaking» within the meaning of European Treaties?
18 Eurocontrol Case Law The Court of Justice s approach and conclusions: First step: what does the Eurocontrol do? A) fixing and collecting route charges from users of air navigation services; B) research and coordination activities; C) air navigation control Second step: Analysing Eurocontrol s actvities, which of them is of economic nature? Which of them enjoys actual or potential competitors? If you were a private competitor, would you perform the activity of fixing and collecting route charges as Eurocontrol did?
