Reference for a preliminary ruling from the Cour administrative d'appel de Douai by judgment of that court of 1 December 2005 in Roquette Frères v Ministre de l'Agriculture, de l'Alimentation, de la Pêche et de la Ruralité

(Case C-441/05)

(2006/C 36/51)

Language of the case: French

Reference has been made to the Court of Justice of the European Communities by judgment of the Cour administrative d'appel de Douai (Administrative Court of Appeal, Douai) of 1 December 2005, received at the Court Registry on 12 December 2005, for a preliminary ruling in the proceedings between Roquette Frères and Ministre de l'agriculture, de l'alimentation, de la pêche et de la ruralité (Minister for Agriculture, Food, Fisheries and Rural Affairs) on the following questions:

1.

Could Roquette Frères undoubtedly have mounted an admissible challenge directly before it to the legality of Article 24(2) of Regulation No 1785/81 (1), Article 27(3) of Regulation No 2038/1999 (2), Article 1 of Regulation No 2073/2000 (3), Article 11(2) of Regulation No 1260/2001 (4), Article 1 of Regulation No 1745/2002 (5) and Article 1 of Regulation No 1739/2003 (6)?

2.

If Roquette Frères can admissibly plead the illegality of those provisions, are Article 24(2) of Regulation No 1785/81, Article 27(3) of Regulation No 2038/1999, Article 1 of Regulation No 2073/2000, Article 11(2) of Regulation No 1260/2001, Article 1 of Regulation No 1745/2002 and Article 1 of Regulation No 1739/2003 valid inasmuch as they set the maximum basic quantities of isoglucose production for metropolitan France without taking into account the isoglucose produced in that Member State between 1 November 1978 and 30 April 1979 as an intermediate product used in the manufacture of other products intended for sale.
