Operative part of the judgment
|
1. |
The order of the Court of First Instance of the European Communities of 23 April 2007 in Case T-30/03 SID v Commission is set aside in part, in so far as it did not address the arguments of 3F relating, first, to the competitive position of 3F in relation to other trade unions in the negotiation of collective agreements applicable to seafarers and, second, to the social aspects of the fiscal measures in relation to seafarers employed on board vessels registered in the Danish International Register of Shipping. |
|
2. |
The plea of inadmissibility raised by the Commission of the European Communities before the Court of First Instance of the European Communities is rejected. |
|
3. |
The case is remitted to the Court of First Instance of the European Communities for it to rule on the claim by 3F for the annulment of Commission Decision C(2002) 4370 final of 13 November 2002 not to raise objections to the Danish fiscal measures applicable to seafarers employed on board vessels registered in the Danish International Register. |
