Parties

In Case C-175/06,

REFERENCE for a preliminary ruling under Article 234 EC from the Tribunale civile di Genova (Italy), made by decision of 14 March 2006, received at the Court on 24 March 2006, in the proceedings

Alessandro Tedesco

v

Tomasoni Fittings Srl,

RWO Marine Equipment Ltd,

THE PRESIDENT OF THE FOURTH CHAMBER

OF THE COURT,

after hearing the Advocate General, J. Kokott,

makes the following

Order

Grounds

1. By decision of 26 March 2007, received at the Court Registry on 21 September 2007, the Tribunale civile di Genova (Civil District Court, Genoa) held that the case before it had been terminated, and that the questions referred for a preliminary ruling had thus become devoid of purpose.

2. In those circumstances, the present case must be removed from the Register of the Court.

3. Since these proceedings are, for the parties to the main proceedings, a step in the action pending before the national court, the decision on costs is a matter for that court. Costs incurred in submitting observations to the Court, other than the costs of those parties, are not recoverable.

Operative part

On those grounds, the President of the Fourth Chamber of the Court hereby orders:

Case C-175/06 is removed from the Register of the Court.

Luxembourg, 27 September 2007.
