	Court of First Instance - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Court of First Instance is an independent Court attached to the European Court of Justice.
		The creation of the Court of First Instance instituted a judicial system based on two levels of jurisdiction: all cases heard at first instance by the Court of First Instance may be subject to a right of appeal to the Court of Justice on points of law only.
		The Court of First Instance, like the Court of Justice, has the task of ensuring that the law is observed in the interpretation and application of the Treaties constituting the European Communities and the provisions adopted by the competent Community institutions.

	ECJ Canary Islands - Greenpeace v Commission
		The financial commitment for the first year (1991), for ECU 28 953 000 (Article 1 of the decision), was payable on the defendant's adoption of the decision (Annex III, paragraph A4, of the decision).
		The Court of First Instance added that, in view of the conditions laid down in the fourth paragraph of Article 173 of the Treaty, that conclusion could not be affected by the practice of national courts whereby locus standi might depend merely on applicants having a 'sufficient‘ interest.
		The interpretation of the fourth paragraph of Article 173 of the Treaty that the Court of First Instance applied in concluding that the appellants did not have locus standi is consonant with the settled case-law of the Court of Justice.

		Finally, the Court holds that, contrary to the contention of the Spanish Government, the applicant has identified with sufficient precision the statutory provisions she claims are illegal.
		It is therefore for the Court of First Instance, on foot of the plea of illegality raised by the applicant, to rule on the legality of the rules governing languages established for the Office by the Council.
		First, it is apparent from the actual wording of Article 115(3) of Regulation No 40/94 that, by indicating a second language, the applicant accepts use of that language as a language of proceedings only in relation to opposition, revocation or invalidity proceedings.

		The Court of First Instance found it attested that the Plaintiff a) was the owner of the above-specified word-only and combined trademarks and that Defendant No. 1 had been the owner of the "x+y+z.cz" domain since 19 December 2000, using this domain for the purpose of an Internet presentation under an address.
		Considering the conclusion reached by the Court of Appeal, the remaining objections to the contested Ruling No. I of the decision rendered by the Court of First Instance were not dealt with by the Court of Appeal.

	MAGILL EEC CASE DATABASE/COMPULSORY LICENSING
		The first is that the Court of First Instance misconstrued Article 3 of Regulation No 17 by holding that the Commission had the power to require a proprietor of intellectual property rights to grant compulsory licences.
		The Court of First Instance also regarded it as significant in that regard that the applicants had authorized, free of charge, the publication of their daily listings and highlights of their weekly programmes in the press in both Ireland and the United Kingdom.
		ITP adds that this view of the Court of First Instance is not supported by the case law of the Court of Justice and that, due to the imprecision of the criteria used, it undermines legal certainty for copyright owners.

	European Court Backs Ban on Antibiotics in Animal Feed - 9/17 Meat Processing News
		The Court said that in other cases dealing with food safety (in particular the BSE crisis), the Community Courts have already held that it is possible to take preventive measures without having to wait until the reality and seriousness of the risks become fully apparent.
		The Court concluded that, despite uncertainty as to whether there is a link between the use of the antibiotics as additives and the development of resistance to them in humans, the ban on the products is not a disproportionate measure by comparison with the objective pursued, namely the protection of human health.
		An appeal, limited to points of law, may be brought before the Court of Justice of the European Communities against the decision of the Court of First Instance within two months of its notification.

	Project on International Courts and Tribunals
		The Court of Justice of the European Communities (ECJ) is the common judicial organ of the three European Communities: the European Coal and Steel Community (ECSC), the European Atomic Energy Community (Euratom) and the European Community (EC).
		Moreover, many, including the ECJ itself, regard the Court not as much as an international body, but rather as a supra-national organism, the main purpose of which is to bring about a closer integration between its members, rather than to merely avert conflict between them.
		First, the constant expansion of the competencies of the European Communities, as well as the increase in the number of member States (from the original six to 15), led in 1988 to the creation of the Court of First Instance (CFI).

		The EU Court of First Instance, under its rules of procedure, considered whether Coillte had the necessary standing to bring the proceedings but ruled that the application was inadmissible.
		I understand from Coillte that the decision of the Court of First Instance was not received by the company in time to be included in the annual report for 2000.

		March 19, 1990 - the Court of First Instance, in Florina, refuses the organisation's application for registration on the basis of clause 2 of its memorandum of association.
		What the court neglected to mention, however, was that the items present in clause 2 of the memorandum of association were basically a carbon copy of those found in the clauses of hundreds of other organizations who were already registered and approved by the same court.
		The court claims that the motives of this organisation are against the "national interests" and "territorial integrity" of Greece.

		The Court considers, in effect, that the Commission is required to indicate, at the very least by reference to categories of documents, the reasons for which it considers that the documents detailed in the request which it received are related to the possible opening of an infringement procedure.

		At the hearing, however, the Council stated that it was not raising this plea of inadmissibility and left it to the Court of First Instance to consider the question of its jurisdiction in the present case.
		The fact that under Article L of that Treaty the Court of First Instance does not have jurisdiction to assess the lawfulness of acts falling within Title V thus does not exclude its jurisdiction to rule on public access to those acts.

		The Court of Justice rejected this claim because it was found that the urea imported from Russia tended to deteriorate during the transport and because security of supply from Russia was not always ensured.

		However, the Court ruled for the first time that the private interest of an applicant in obtaining particular documents has to be considered if the institution is aware of it, and furthermore that when discussions on a topic had concluded, the institution no longer had any 'confidentiality' to protect.
		The Court ruled that the Commission had not committed a manifest error of assessment in agreeing with the Italian request; it did not rule expressly that Member State's 'requests' are in all cases binding on the EU institutions.
		Comment: The Court ruled that at the time (before the Treaty of Amsterdam), the EU institutions were entitled to govern citizens' right of access to documents by means of their internal decision-making rules, rather than by 'constitutional' legislation.
