Mesto Rimavská Sobota)
(Reference for a preliminary ruling - Environment - Regulation (EU) No 995/2010 - Obligations of operators who place timber and timber products on the market - Article 2(a) to (c) - Concepts of ‘timber and timber products’, ‘placing on the market’ and ‘operator’)
(C/2025/236)
Language of the case: Slovak
Applicant: Mesto Rimavská Sobota
Defendant: Ministerstvo pôdohospodárstva a rozvoja vidieka Slovenskej republiky
Article 2(a) to (c) of Regulation (EU) No 995/2010 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 20 October 2010 laying down the obligations of operators who place timber and timber products on the market
must be interpreted as meaning that a natural or legal person that concludes a contract by which it authorises the other party to the contract to harvest, on its direction or under its supervision, wood in the rough or fuel wood, must be regarded as being an ‘operator’ ‘placing on the market’ ‘timber and timber products’, within the meaning of that provision, where, in accordance with the applicable national law, that other party to the contract does not directly and automatically become the owner of the timber harvested by the mere fact of felling the trees, but where, in performance of that contract, that person, while remaining the owner of that timber, transfers, after harvesting, that right of ownership to that other party to the contract.
