C 46/23
(Case C-525/14)
(2015/C 046/30)
Language of the case: Czech
Parties
Applicant: European Commission (represented by: P. Němečková and G. Wilms, acting as Agents)
Defendant: Czech Republic
Form of order sought
—declare that, by failing to recognise certain Netherlands hallmarks, in particular hallmarks of Waarborg Holland, the Czech Republic has failed to fulfil its obligations under Article 34 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union;
—order the Czech Republic to pay the costs.
Pleas in law and main arguments
1.By failing to recognise certain Netherlands hallmarks, the Czech Republic is restricting the free movement of precious metals marked with those hallmarks and of objects produced from those metals.
2.Even if precious metal is hallmarked by a branch of a Netherlands hallmarking office in a third State, such products should be treated in the same way as goods originating in the European Union, in view of the fact that the precious metals are hallmarked in accordance with the Netherlands rules and are definitively released into free circulation.
3.The Czech Republic has not shown that the possible restriction of the free movement of goods is appropriate for ensuring achievement of the consumer protection objective pursued and does not go beyond what is necessary for achieving it.
