Résumé :
[en] Advocate General Saugmandsgaard Øe recommends the European Court of Justice to (i) rule that the test included in the Bronner Judgment – including the indispensability requirement – should only be applied in specific circumstances (i.e., in case of ‘refusals to make available’), and (ii) reject the introduction of the concept of ‘implicit refusals to grant access’ (or similar terms such as ‘constructive refusals to grant access’). In this article, we set out the reasoning adopted by the AG to substantiate his recommendation as well as our analysis of the AG’s Opinion.
