   IN CASE 31/68

   REFERENCE TO THE COURT UNDER ARTICLE 177 OF THE EEC TREATY BY THE
   ARRONDISSEMENTSRECHTBANK, ROTTERDAM, FOR A PRELIMINARY RULING IN THE
   ACTION PENDING BEFORE THAT COURT BETWEEN

   SA CHANEL, HAVING ITS REGISTERED OFFICE IN NEUILLY-SUR-SEINE ( FRANCE
   ),

   AND

   CEPEHA HANDELSMAATSCHAPPIJ NV, HAVING ITS REGISTERED OFFICE IN
   ROTTERDAM,

Subject of the case

   ON THE INTERPRETATION OF ARTICLE 85 OF THE EEC TREATY ( AND OF THE
   RULES GOVERNING ITS APPLICATION ),

Grounds

   BY JUDGMENT OF 3 DECEMBER 1968 RECEIVED AT THE REGISTRY ON 13 DECEMBER
   1968 THE ARRONDISSEMENTSRECHTBANK, ROTTERDAM, MADE A REFERENCE TO THE
   COURT FOR AN INTERPRETATION OF ARTICLE 85 OF THE EEC TREATY .

   THE COURT WAS NOTIFIED BY COMMUNICATION OF 29 JANUARY 1969 FROM THE
   SAID COURT THAT AN APPEAL HAD BEEN LODGED AGAINST THAT JUDGMENT AND
   THAT AS A RESULT " EXECUTION OF THE JUDGMENT IS DEFERRED ".

   FOLLOWING THIS COMMUNICATION THE COURT DECIDED, BY ORDER OF 3 JUNE
   1969, TO SUSPEND JUDGMENT .

   BY A LETTER RECEIVED AT THE REGISTRY ON 12 JUNE 1970, THE REGISTRAR OF
   THE ARRONDISSEMENTSRECHTBANK INFORMED THE COURT THAT A JUDGMENT OF 6
   MAY 1970 OF THE GERECHTSHOF, THE HAGUE, HAD AMENDED THE JUDGMENT OF 3
   DECEMBER 1968 .

   ACCORDINGLY THE REFERENCE FOR INTERPRETATION HAS LOST ITS PURPOSE .

   THE COSTS INCURRED BY THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES WHICH
   HAD SUBMITTED ITS OBSERVATIONS TO THE COURT ARE NOT RECOVERABLE . AS
   THESE PROCEEDINGS ARE, IN SO FAR AS THE PARTIES TO THE MAIN ACTION ARE
   CONCERNED, IN THE NATURE OF A STEP IN THE ACTION PENDING BEFORE THE
   ARRONDISSEMENTSRECHTBANK, ROTTERDAM, THE DECISION ON COSTS IS A MATTER
   FOR THAT COURT .

Operative part

   THE COURT

   HEREBY ORDERS :

   CASE 31/68 IS REMOVED FROM THE REGISTER OF THE COURT .
