Action brought on 29 October 2010 — European Commission v Republic of Austria
(Case C-516/10)
()
2011/C 13/38
Language of the case: German

Parties


Applicant: European Commission (represented by: G. Braun and E. Montaguti, acting as Agents)

Defendant: Republic of Austria

Form of order sought







—


Declare that, by maintaining in force Paragraph 5 in conjunction with Paragraph 2(3) and (4) and Paragraph 6(2)(g) of the VGVG, the Republic of Austria has infringed Articles 49 TFEU and 63 TFEU;










—


Declare that, by maintaining in force Paragraph 6(2)(d) in conjunction with Paragraph 2(3) and (4) of the VGVG, the Republic of Austria has infringed Articles 49 TFEU and 63 TFEU;










—


Order the Republic of Austria to pay the costs.





Pleas in law and main arguments

The Commission does not question the fact that Member States may restrict the purchase of plots of land on grounds of public interest. However, the provisions of the Vorarlberger Grundverkehrsgesetz (VGVG) cited in the forms of order sought constitute a disproportionate restriction on the free movement of capital and the right of establishment.
In particular, the so-called Interessentenregel (‘interested parties rule’), according to which the VGVG landowners take precedence in purchases of agricultural land over non-landowners, is disproportionate. The continued agricultural use of the land can, according to the defendant, thus be guaranteed if the potential purchaser is willing to lease the land on a long-term basis to the previous tenant.
Similarly, it is not apparent why the interested parties rule should also apply where the previous owner includes his plot of land as an asset in kind in an undertaking or a foundation, although the continued agricultural use of the land is ensured.
In the view of the Commission, it is also disproportionate that the abovementioned interested parties rule is repeatedly applied where the purchase is not completed for reasons unconnected with the vendor.
Finally, the Commission disputes that the VGVG does not provide for any kind of regulation which permits, in the case of a lack of interest from landowners in the exploitation of a plot of agricultural land, that land to be sold without an obligation on the purchaser to use it for agricultural purposes.

Language of the case: French

Parties


Applicant: European Commission (represented by: G. Rozet and A. Marghelis, acting as Agents)

Defendant: French Republic

Form of order sought







—


declare that, by failing to adopt the laws, regulations and administrative provisions necessary to ensure that asbestos-cement waste is treated in suitable landfills, the French Republic failed to fulfil its obligations under Article 2(e), the first subparagraph of Article 3 and Article 6(d) of Council Directive 1999/31/EC of 26 April 1999 on the landfill of waste (1) and the provisions of Council Decision of 19 December 2002 establishing criteria and procedures for the acceptance of waste at landfills pursuant to Article 16 of and Annex II to Directive 1999/31/EC (2);










—


order French Republic to pay the costs.





Pleas in law and main arguments

The Commission relies on a single plea in law in support of its action alleging an incorrect interpretation of the provisions of Directive 1999/31/EC and, in particular, of the definition of ‘waste’.
The applicant disputes the interpretation of the French authorities according to which the waste can be both inert waste and hazardous waste at the same time. According to the Commission, the directive recognises on the contrary the existence of three different categories of waste, ‘hazardous’, ‘non-hazardous’ and ‘inert’, resulting in different obligations and a precise distinction in the conditions of acceptance of different waste to landfill. Thus, asbestos-cement waste should be considered to be ‘hazardous waste’ in accordance with the list of wastes established by Decision 2000/532/EC (3), as amended by Decision 2001/573/EC (4), and the particular precautions necessary for the disposal thereof. The national legislation classifying asbestos-cement waste as inert and authorising its acceptance in a landfill for inert waste therefore does not comply with the requirements of the directive.
