Language of the case: Italian

Parties


Appellant: Giampietro Torresan (represented by: G. Recher and R. Munarini, avvocati)

Other parties to the proceedings: Office for Harmonisation in the Internal Market (Trade Marks and Designs) (OHIM) and Klosterbrauerei Weissenohe GmbH & Co. KG

Form of order sought

The appellant claims that the Court should:






—


set aside the judgment in Case T-234/06, Reg. No 414968, notified by fax on 19 November 2009;










—


uphold in their entirety the forms of order sought by Mr Torresan before the Court of First Instance (now ‘the General Court’) in Case T-234/06;










—


in any event, order OHIM to pay the costs of the proceedings in their entirety, including the costs incurred before OHIM and in the proceedings before the General Court.





Pleas in law and main arguments







(i)


Infringement and/or misapplication of the Community legislation concerning agriculture and foodstuffs;










(ii)


Infringement and/or misapplication of the legislation on consumer protection, with regard to the notion of the average consumer;










(iii)


Infringement of the language rules for proceedings;










(iv)


Distortion of the facts or the evidence, all factors designed to confirm, as the sole and ultimate inference, the absolutely distinctive and non-descriptive character of the mark Cannabis, with a view to establishing the infringement or misapplication of Article 7(1)(c) of the Trade Mark Regulation (1) and the contradictory nature of the reasoning followed by the General Court in support of the finding that the mark Cannabis is descriptive. In consequence, it will be appropriate to declare that the judgment in Case T-234/06 — the judgment under appeal — is set aside in its entirety.

Final report of the Hearing Officer (1) in Case COMP/39.416 — Ship classification
The draft Decision presented to the Commission under Article 9(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1/2003 (2) relates to certain rules and practices of the International Association of Classification Societies and the International Association of Classification Societies Limited (hereinafter jointly referred to as ‘IACS’). The following arrangements raise concerns as to their compatibility with Article 81 EC and Article 53 EEA: (i) the criteria and procedures ruling membership of IACS and the suspension or withdrawal of membership, and the way that these criteria and procedures are applied; and (ii) the elaboration and accessibility to non-IACS classification societies of IACS’s resolutions and technical background information relating to these resolutions.
The Commission opened proceedings with a view to taking a decision under Chapter III and adopted a preliminary assessment as referred to in Article 9(1) on 12 May 2009. IACS replied to the preliminary assessment and submitted commitments on 28 May 2009. On 10 June 2009, the Commission published a notice in the Official Journal of the European Union pursuant to Article 27(4) summarising the case as well as the commitments and inviting interested third parties to give their observations within one month. Overall, the comments received in response to this invitation confirmed that the commitments were adequate and necessary to address the concerns identified in the preliminary assessment.
The Commission has now come to the conclusion that, in view of the commitments proposed by IACS, and without prejudice to Article 9(2), the proceedings should be brought to an end.
On 25 August 2009, IACS submitted a declaration that it has been provided with sufficient information by the Commission to propose the commitments in order to meet the competition concerns of the Commission as set out in the preliminary assessment.
In the light of the above, I consider that the right to be heard has been respected in this case.

Brussels, 29 September 2009.
