(Free movement of goods - Measures having equivalent effect to a quantitative restriction - National certification procedure - Presumption of compliance with national law - Applicability of Article 28 EC to a private-law certification body)
2012/C 287/20
Language of the case: German
Applicant: Fra.bo SpA
Defendant: Deutsche Vereinigung des Gas- und Wasserfaches eV (DVGW) — Technisch-Wissenschaftlicher Verein
Reference for a preliminary ruling — Oberlandesgericht Düsseldorf — Interpretation of Articles 34, 101 and 106(2) TFEU — Application of those provisions to the activity of a private-law association (Technisch-Wissenschaftlicher Verein), approved by a Member State as a certification body for certain products — Horizontal direct effect of Article 34 TFEU
Article 28 EC must be interpreted as meaning that it applies to standardisation and certification activities of a private-law body, where the national legislation considers the products certified by that body to be compliant with national law and that has the effect of restricting the marketing of products which are not certified by that body.
