87 — Jeg skal i øvrigt påpege, at Essent i henhold til artikel 9, stk. 1 og 4, i OEPS alene havde til opgave at opkræve det omhandlede tillæg og udbetale det til SEP, men at selskabet i medfør af artikel 97 i Elektriciteitswet 1998, der gjorde det obligatorisk at gennemføre protokolaftalen, var forpligtet til at betale de beløb til SEP, som det skulle ifølge denne protokol.
87 — I would, moreover, point out that while it is true that, under Article 9(1) and (4) of the OEPS, Essent’s task was solely to collect the surcharge at issue and to pay it over to SEP, under Article 97 of the 1998 Law on electricity — which made the implementation of the protocol compulsory — it was, none the less, statutorily required to make to SEP the payments incumbent upon it in accordance with that protocol.
