Action brought on 15 July 2009 — Commission of the European Communities v Kingdom of Spain
(Case C-269/09)
2009/C 220/54
Language of the case: Spanish

Parties


Applicant: Commission of the European Communities (represented by: R. Lyal and F. Jimeno Fernández, acting as Agents)

Defendant: Kingdom of Spain

Form of order sought







—


declare that by adopting and maintaining in force, in Article 14 of Law No 35/2006 of 28 November 2006 on personal income tax and partially amending the laws on the taxation of corporations, non-residents’ income and wealth, a provision under which taxpayers who transfer their residence abroad are required to include any income not yet charged to tax in the tax base for the last tax year in which they were considered to be resident taxpayers, the Kingdom of Spain has failed to fulfil its obligations under Articles 19 EC, 38 EC and 43 EC and Articles 28 and 31 of the EEA Agreement;










—


order the Kingdom of Spain to pay the costs.





Pleas in law and main arguments







1.


Under Article 14 of the Spanish Law on personal income tax and partially amending the laws on the taxation of corporations, non-residents’ income and wealth, revenue is subject to tax in the year in which it is received. Nevertheless, Article 14(2) contains special rules which make it possible to impute certain types of income to different tax periods. In cases in which a taxpayer transfers his residence abroad, however, Article 14(3) provides that all income not yet charged to tax is to be included in the tax base for the last tax year in which the taxpayer concerned was considered to be resident.










2.


The Commission submits that the Spanish legislation allows discriminatory treatment in cases in which an individual transfers his residence outside Spain and that Spanish law should apply the same rule irrespective of whether the individual maintains his residence on Spanish territory.










3.


The provision concerned infringes the principle of free movement of persons laid down in Articles 18 EC, 39 EC and 43 EC and Articles 28 and 31 of the EEA Agreement.

Acknowledgement of receipt of complaint No 2009/4209 — SG(2009)A/1798
2009/C 162/08






1.


The European Commission has received and registered under number 2009/4209 — SG/CDC/2009/A/1798 a number of complaints concerning the remuneration of doctors who trained to be specialists in Italy between 1982 and 1991.










2.


Given the significant number of complaints it has received on this subject, the Commission, anxious to respond swiftly and to inform those concerned while making the most economical use of its administrative resources, is publishing this acknowledgment of receipt in the Official Journal of the European Union and on the Internet at:
http://ec.europa.eu/community_law/complaints/receipt/index_en.htm










3.


The complaint is currently being examined by the Commission in the light of Directive 2005/36/EC on the recognition of professional qualifications, and in particular Article 25(3) of that Directive, which provides that trainee specialised doctors must receive appropriate remuneration.










4.


The complainants will be informed, through the same channels, of the results of this examination and of any follow-up action that the Commission may decide to take.
