Is Article 3(1), in conjunction with Article 2(d), of Directive 2005/29/EC (1) on unfair commercial practices to be interpreted as meaning that the action of a statutory sickness fund in making (misleading) statements to its members concerning the disadvantages that those members would suffer were they to move to another statutory sickness fund can also constitute an act by a trader in the form of a business-to-consumer commercial practice?

Questions referred
Is Article 20 TFEU — if necessary, read in conjunction with Articles 20, 21, 24, 33 and 34 of the Charter of Fundamental Rights, or with one or more of those provisions read separately or in conjunction — to be interpreted as precluding a Member State from refusing a third-country national, with sole responsibility for his or her infants who are citizens of the European Union, residence in the Member State of residence of the children, where they have been living with that person since birth, without having that nationality, while refusing the third-country national a residence permit, or even a work permit?
Are such decisions to be regarded as being in the nature of decisions depriving those children, in their country of residence, in which they have lived since birth, of effective enjoyment of the substance of the rights attaching to the status of citizen of the European Union also in the situation where their other direct ascendant, with whom they have never shared family life, is resident in another Member State of the European Union, of which that person is a national?

Action brought on 1 March 2012 — European Commission v Council of the European Union
(Case C-114/12)
(2012/C 138/09)
Language of the case: English
Parties
Applicant: European Commission (represented by: F. Castillo de la Torre, J. Samnadda, Agents)
Defendant: Council of the European Union
The applicant claims that the Court should:
|
— |
annul the Decision of the Council and of the Representatives of Governments of the Member States meeting within the Council on the participation of the European Union and its Member States in negotiations for a Convention of the Council of Europe on the protection of the rights of broadcasting organisations |
|
— |
order the Council to bear the costs. |
Pleas in law and main arguments
|
|
First plea: Infringement of Articles 2(2) and 3(2) TFUE, because the Council has considered that the matter is one of shared competence, and has authorised Member States or an Institution other than the Commission to negotiate the agreement, in a matter of exclusive competence. The future Council of Europe Convention may affect or alter the scope of EU Directives dealing with the rights of broadcasting organisations, as well as that of EU Directives on intellectual property law generally. The future Convention will be based on the existing EU acquis, and will inevitably lead to the amendment of the EU Directives should a higher degree of protection be granted to broadcasting organisations within the Council of Europe. |
|
|
Second plea: Breach of the procedure and the conditions to authorise negotiations of international agreements by the Union. It is only the Council (and not the Council acting jointly with Member States) which is competent to authorise negotiations by the Union. |
|
|
Third plea: Violation of the voting rules in the Council. By adopting the contested Decision, the Council violated Article 218(8) pursuant to which the Council shall act by qualified majority. |
|
|
Forth plea: Breach of the objectives of the Treaties and the principle of sincere cooperation. The Council, by acting jointly with the Member States, undermines the standing of the Union and weakens the institutional framework of the Union. |

Appeal brought on 5 March 2012 by the French Republic against the judgment of the General Court (Seventh Chamber) delivered on 16 December 2011 in Case T-488/10 France v Commission

Language of the case: French
Parties
Appellant: French Republic (represented by: E. Belliard, G. de Bergues and N. Rouam, acting as Agents)
Other party to the proceedings: European Commission
Form of order sought
The appellant claims that the Court should:
|
— |
set aside in its entirety the judgment of the General Court of the European Union of 16 December 2011 in Case T-488/10; |
|
— |
rule once and for all on the dispute itself by annulling Commission Decision C(2010) 5229 of 28 July 2010 concerning the cancellation of part of the contribution of the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF) under the single programming document for objective 1 for Community structural assistance in Martinique, France, or refer the case back to the General Court. |
Pleas in law and main arguments
By its first plea, the appellant submits that the General Court erred in law in holding that the Commission had not infringed Article 2(1)of Council Directive 93/37/EEC of 14 June 1993 concerning the coordination of procedures for the award of public works contracts, (1) by categorising the tax relief granted to the partners, who are natural persons, of the general commercial partnerships which invested in the public works contract for the renovation and extension of Club Méditerranée’s holiday village, Les Boucaniers (Buccaneer’s Creek), as a direct subsidy for the purposes of that provision.
By the first part of that plea, the appellant submits that the General Court erred in law in holding that the tax relief measures could be categorised as subsidies for the purposes of Article 2(1) of Directive 93/37/EEC.
By the second part of that plea, the appellant submits that the General Court erred in law in holding that the tax relief was direct for the purposes of Article 2(1) of Directive 93/37/EEC since that relief was granted specifically for the purposes of the works contract in question, although it was not granted to the developer, contractor, operator or owner of the establishment in question.
By its second plea, the appellant submits that the General Court erred in law by distorting the content of the contested decision and substituting its own reasoning for that of the Commission. According to the French Government, the General Court distorted the content of the contested decision by taking the view that the Commission took the overall aims and functions of Club Méditerranée’s holiday village, Les Boucaniers, and not the nature of the works carried out, as its basis in determining whether the works contract for the renovation and extension of that holiday village was covered by Article 2(2) of Directive 93/37/EEC.
By its third plea, the appellant submits that the General Court erred in law in holding that the Commission had not infringed Article 2(2) of Directive 93/37/EEC by categorising the works contract for the renovation and extension of Club Méditerranée’s holiday village, Les Boucaniers, as a contract relating to building work for a facility intended for sports, recreation and leisure within the meaning of that provision.
By the first part of that plea, the appellant submits that the General Court erred in law in holding that the concept of facilities intended for sports, recreation and leisure in Article 2(2) of Directive 93/37/EEC should be interpreted broadly, as not being restricted to facilities which seek to meet the traditional needs of public authorities, that is to say the collective needs of users.
By the second branch of that plea, the appellant submits that the General Court erred in law in holding that the concept of works contracts for the purposes of Article 2 of Directive 93/37/EEC should be interpreted independently of the concept of public works contracts within the meaning of Article 1(a) of that directive and that, consequently, the Commission did not infringe Article 2(2) of Directive 93/37/EEC by finding that the works contract at issue in the present case was covered by that provision although, according to the French Government, that contract was not of direct economic interest to the contracting authority.

Questions referred
|
1. |
Do Articles 29 and 32 of Regulation (EEC) No 2913/1992 apply to the determination of the customs value of imported goods where the contract is for processing or working of materials (exported to the country of processing without being placed under the customs procedure of outward processing) which is not at the level provided for in Article 24 of that Regulation or which is otherwise insufficient to permit it to be held that the origin of the goods produced is the country where that processing or working was carried out? |
|
2. |
If the answer to Question 1 is in the affirmative, is a distinction to be made where the import, on the basis of invoices and other documents held to be inaccurate, appears to have taken place under a contract of sale, but it is proven that the contract was for non-substantial processing of materials originating in the country of import in return for a specific fee, which can be determined, and that the declared customs value does not correspond to the real price payable or paid? |
|
3. |
If the answer to Question 2 is in the negative, is a distinction to be made where there is also evidence of a practice that constitutes abuse of Community rules with the aim of enabling the interested party to derive an advantage? |
|
4. |
If it is held that Articles 29 and 32 of Regulation (EEC) No 2913/1992 can be applied to a case such as that described in Question 2, even when the objective circumstances and subjective factor of Question 3 coincide, what is considered to be the value of the component (in the present case sugar) which was incorporated into the imported goods and supplied at no cost to the importer, where the component in question, which could not be subject to a customs procedure of outward processing in accordance with Article 146(1) of the said Regulation, was not produced by him, but was acquired by him at the export price (which was lower than the price that applied on the internal market, since the product is subject to the refund system)? |

Pleas in law and main arguments
|
1. |
According to the first plea in law the General Court infringed European Union law, erred in its assessment of the relevant facts and provided insufficient grounds for the order by regarding the appellants as merely potential beneficiaries of the aid scheme approved by the Commission. The General Court disregards the fact that, before the decision [C(2009) 9963 final], (1) the appellants benefited from the existing aid measures that were required to be amended as a result of the decision. The appellants are not, therefore, merely potential beneficiaries of the modified aid, but also in fact beneficiaries of the existing aid. In the latter capacity the decision at issue is indeed of individual concern to them. |
|
2. |
According to the second plea in law the General Court infringed European Union law, erred in its assessment of the relevant facts and provided insufficient grounds for the order in ruling that the appellants do not belong to a closed group of existing housing corporations. The purely theoretical possibility that a certain group of beneficiaries of aid might be expanded in the future is not sufficient for it to be regarded as not being a closed group. Furthermore the existing housing corporations do form a closed group, as they are more severely affected by the decision than a hypothetical institution that may yet be approved as a housing corporation after the decision. |
|
3. |
By the third plea in law the appellants challenge the General Court’s view that the appellants have no legal interest in having the decision relating to State aid N 642/2009 annulled. The General Court misapplied European Union law, erred in its assessment of the relevant facts and provided insufficient grounds for the order. |

give final judgment in the case and annul the Commission’s decision of 29 July 2009 (D/53320) and, in any event, give a final decision on the admissibility of the action in Case T-407/09, in the alternative: declare that the Commission failed to comply with its duties resulting from Article 108 TFEU and Regulation (EC) No 659/1999 by failing to initiate the formal investigation procedure under Article 108(2) TFEU; |
|
— |
order the Commission and the interveners in support of the Commission to pay the costs of the appeal proceedings and the costs incurred at first instance in Case T-407/09. |
Pleas in law and main arguments
The present appeal has been brought against the order of the General Court of 9 January 2012 in Case T-407/09, by which that court dismissed as inadmissible the action brought by the applicant (now the appellant) for (i) the annulment of the Commission’s decision, claimed to be contained in a letter dated 29 July 2009, in which it states that certain contracts concluded by the applicant on the sale of apartments in the context of the privatisation of public apartments in Neubrandenburg did not fall within the scope of Article 87(1) EC, and (ii) a declaration that the Commission failed to act, within the meaning of Article 232 EC, since it did not give its opinion on those contracts in accordance with Article 4 of Council Regulation (EC) No 659/1999 of 22 March 1999 laying down detailed rules for the application of Article 88 EC (OJ 1999 L 83, p. 1).
The appellant essentially raises four grounds in support of its appeal:
|
|
First, the order under appeal infringes the fourth paragraph of Article 263 TFEU, since the General Court wrongly concluded that the Commission’s letter of 29 July 2009 did not constitute a challengeable decision for the purposes of that provision. The General Court construed the letter solely on the basis of its wording. However, in accordance with the principles developed in the settled case-law of the Court of Justice, the General Court should have taken account of the nature of the letter, the aim pursued by the Commission with its letter and the context in which the letter was drafted. |
|
|
Second, the order under appeal infringes the guarantee of effective legal protection under European Union law. The General Court found the Commission’s letter of 29 July 2009 to be unchallengeable primarily on the ground that the Commission classed the aid assessment contained in its letter as ‘provisional’. If the Commission were able to turn a legally conclusive assessment into a measure with no legal effects simply be orally classing its assessment as ‘provisional’, it would be free to determine when to adopt a challengeable decision or not. Effective legal protection of individual rights would then no longer be possible. |
|
|
Third, the order under appeal infringes Article 265 TFEU, since the General Court, first, found that the letter of 29 July 2009 could not be challenged and, second, wrongly found that the conditions for bringing an action for failure to act had not been satisfied. Consequently, the appellant was denied all of its rights of legal protection. |
|
|
Finally, the order fails to provide adequate grounds in various instances and thereby infringes the duty to state reasons laid down in Article 81 of the Rules of Procedure of the General Court. |
