It is sufficient to point out that, in paragraph 10 of its judgment in Case C-71/92 Commission v Spain [1993] ECR I-5923, the Court observed that the only permissible exceptions to the application of Directive 77/62 are those which are expressly and exhaustively mentioned in it.
    However, Article 2(2) and Article 3 of Directive 77/62, which list the public supply contracts to which that directive does not apply, do not refer to contracts relating to pharmaceutical products and specialities. Moreover, as the Court held in that same judgment (paragraph 11), none of the exceptions authorized by the directive is defined by reference to the type of product in question or the legal rules applicable to it.

It is apparent from the ninth recital in the preamble to Directive 77/62 that: "... provision must be made for exceptional cases where measures concerning the coordination of procedures may not necessarily be applied, but such cases must be expressly limited". It follows that the only permitted exceptions to the application of Directive 77/62 are those which are exhaustively and expressly mentioned therein.
    Articles 2(2) and 3 of Directive 77/62, which list the public supply contracts to which it does not apply, do not include those relating to the products referred to in Article 2, point 3, of the LCE and Article 2, point 3, of the RGCE. Moreover, as the Commission has correctly emphasized, none of the exceptions authorized by the directive is defined by reference to the type of, or the legal arrangements relating to, the product concerned, in contrast to the contested provisions of the Spanish legislation.

In the first place, as the Court has stated in paragraph 10 of this judgment, the only permitted exceptions to the application of Directive 77/62 are those exhaustively and expressly mentioned therein. That applies equally to Directive 71/305, the seventh recital in the preamble to which is identical to the ninth recital, previously quoted, in the preamble to Directive 77/62.

1. Klagenævnet, der ikke har fundet grundlag for på grundlag af indklagedes argumentation at afvise sagen som følge af manglende kompetence, skal udtale, at den omhandlede arkitektopgave i det hele er omfattet af direktivet. Der er ikke af indklagede fremdraget sådanne særlige forhold, der isoleret set måtte føre til at udbud kunne udelades. Indklagede burde have foranlediget og fastholdt, at opgaven skulle tildeles efter sket, fornyet udbud. Imidlertid finder nævnet efter en samlet bedømmelse af indklagedes manglende, reelle muligheder, dels for selvstændige dispositioner, dels for inden for styringsgruppen at gennemføre selvstændige synspunkter, uden at en iøvrigt knap tidsplan kunne sprænges med betydelige økonomiske konsekvenser til følge, ikke tilstrækkeligt grundlag for at pålægge indklagede at foranstalte udbud afholdt.
    [Sagsfremstilling: Indklagede har i det hele imødegået klagerens argumentation og har til støtte for den principale påstand gjort gældende, at Klagenævnet ikke er kompetent til at bedømme sagen. Det fremgår af Klagenævnslovens § 3, at ordregivere er bl.a. statslige myndigheder. Ordregiveren er imidlertid ikke indklagede, men derimod de fem nordiske lande i fællesskab repræsenteret ved den omtalte Styringsgruppe. Klagenævnsloven må forstås således, at Klagenævnet alene har kompetence til at påkende klager over danske myndigheder. Der er ikke hjemmel til, og der kan ikke af Folketinget gives hjemmel til, at et dansk klageorgan kan påkende klager over internationalt sammensatte ordregivere, idet dette ville stride mod grundlæggende folkeretlige regler om staters immunitet i forhold til andre staters dømmende myndigheder.
    Der er heller ikke i Rådets direktiv 89/665/EØF om samordning af love og administrative bestemmelser vedrørende anvendelsen af klageproceduren i forbindelse med indgåelse af offentlige indkøbs– samt bygge– og anlægskontrakter nogen støtte for, at et klagenævn nedsat i den enkelte medlemsstat kan bedømme klager over ordregivende myndigheder, der også består af andre EU-lande og tredjelandes myndigheder.
    Særligt i forhold til Norge og Island bemærkes i øvrigt, at Europa-Kommissionen efter EØS-traktaten ikke har beføjelse til at iværksætte en retlig klageprocedure, og at EF-Domstolen ikke har kompetence til at afsige bindende fortolkningsafgørelser. Indklagede har endvidere gjort gældende, at tjenesteydelsesdirektivet og Klagenævnets kompetence i denne forbindelse kun vedrører handlinger, der finder sted på Danmarks territorium. Direktivet gælder ikke, og Klagenævnet er ikke kompetent vedrørende indkøb af ydelser, der skal leveres i udlandet.
    Tjenesteydelsesdirektivet finder i øvrigt ikke anvendelse på tjenesteydelsesaftaler, for hvilke der gælder andre procedureregler, og som indgås i henhold til en international aftale, der er indgået mellem en medlemsstat og et eller flere tredjelande om tjenesteydelser med henblik på fælles gennem-førelse af et projekt, jf. direktivets artikel 5, litra a. Kravet om, at der skal gælde andre procedureregler, er opfyldt i dette tilfælde, idet Statens Fastighetsverk på vegne styringsgruppen og efter anbefaling af byggestyreren Dress & Sommer har indgået kontrakt med Pysall & Ruge. Direktivets artikel 5, litra a, stiller ikke krav til indholdet af procedureregler.]
