Respondents: T-Mobile Czech Republic a.s., Vodafone Czech Republic a.s.

Questions referred

1)

Must Articles 12 and 13 of Directive 2002/22/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council (1) of 7 March 2002 on universal service and users’ rights relating to electronic communications networks and services (‘the Directive’) be interpreted as meaning that the concept laid down there of the ‘net cost’ of providing that service precludes a ‘reasonable profit’ of the provider from being included in the amount of the ascertained net cost of that service?

2)

If the answer to Question 1 is in the affirmative, do those provisions of the Directive (Articles 12 and 13) have direct effect?

3)

If Articles 12 and 13 of the Directive have direct effect, may that effect be relied on against a commercial company in which a Member State holds (controls) 51 % of the shares — in this case, O2 Czech Republic a.s. (is it a ‘State entity’) or not?

4)

If the answers to Questions 1 to 3 are in the affirmative, may the Directive be applied also to relations which came into being in the period before the accession of the Czech Republic to the European Union (from 1 January to 30 April 2004)?

(1)  OJ 2002 L 108, p. 51.
