Action brought on 11 April 2011 — Timab Industries and CFPR v Commission
(Case T-211/11)
2011/C 179/31
Language of the case: French

Parties


Applicants: Timab Industries (Dinard, France) and Cie financière et de participations Roullier (CFPR) (Saint-Malo, France) (represented by: N. Lenoir, lawyer)

Defendant: European Commission

Form of order sought

The applicants claim that the Court should:






—


annul the decision;










—


order the Commission to pay the costs in their entirety.





Pleas in law and main arguments

The applicants seek the annulment of the Commission’s decision of 1 February 2011 refusing access to certain Commission documents relating to a procedure pursuant to Article 101 TFEU and Article 13 of the Agreement on the European Economic Area, concerning a cartel on the European market in animal feed phosphates (Case COMP/38866).
In support of the action, the applicants rely on three pleas in law:






1.


First plea in law, alleging error of law and a manifest error of assessment in relation to the second subparagraph of Article 4(3) of Regulation No 1049/2001, (1) in so far as the documents applied for are not opinions but decisions in respect of which it has not been established that disclosure might seriously undermine the decision-making process.










2.


Second plea in law, alleging error of law and a manifest error of assessment in relation to the first indent of Article 4(2) of Regulation No 1049/2001, in so far as the documents applied for do not contain any sensitive commercial information precluding, even partly, their disclosure.










3.


Third plea in law, alleging error of law and a manifest error of assessment in relation to the third indent of Article 4(2) of Regulation No 1049/2001, in so far as the Commission contended that the purpose of inspections, investigations and audits would be undermined.

Action brought on 11 April 2011 by the EFTA Surveillance Authority against Iceland
(Case E-8/11)
2011/C 199/04
An action against Iceland was brought before the EFTA Court on 11 April 2011 by the EFTA Surveillance Authority, represented by Xavier Lewis and Florence Simonetti, acting as Agents of the EFTA Surveillance Authority, 35, Rue Belliard, 1040 Brussels, Belgium.
The EFTA Surveillance Authority requests the EFTA Court to declare that:






1.


by failing to ensure that its competent authorities have made and, where relevant, approved strategic noise maps and drawn up noise action plans for all major roads on its territory which have more than six million vehicle passages a year, and to ensure that the information from strategic noise maps and summaries of the action plans as referred to in Annex VI to the Directive are sent to the EFTA Surveillance Authority, the Republic of Iceland has failed to fulfil its obligations arising from Articles 7(1), 8(1) and 10 of the Act referred to at point 32g of Annex XX to the EEA Agreement (Directive 2002/49/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 25 June 2002 relating to the assessment and management of environmental noise) as adapted to the EEA Agreement by Protocol 1 thereto;
and










2.


the Republic of Iceland be ordered to bear the costs of the proceedings.





Legal and factual background and pleas in law adduced in support:







—


The EFTA Surveillance Authority submits that Iceland has failed to make noise maps and noise action plans regarding major roads with more than six million vehicle passages a year.










—


The EFTA Surveillance Authority submits that such a failure constitutes a breach of Articles 7(1), 8(1) and 10 of Directive 2002/49/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 25 June 2002 relating to the assessment and management of environmental noise, referred to at point 32g of Annex XX to the EEA Agreement.

Questions referred







1.


Does a provision concerning part-time working for older employees, contained in an individual contract, which stipulates that the agreed top-up amount is to be calculated in accordance with the German Order on Minimum Net Pay in the case also of frontier workers from France, such as Paragraph 5(1) of the contract of part-time working for older employees concluded between the parties, infringe Article 45 TFEU, as specifically implemented by Article 7(4) of Council Regulation (EEC) No 1612/68 (1) of 15 October 1968?










2.


If the Court of Justice answers Question 1 in the affirmative:
In the light of the provisions of Article 45 TFEU, as specifically implemented by Article 7(4) of Regulation (EEC) No 1612/68, are provisions of this kind in collective agreements, such as Point 8.3 of the general works council agreement of 24 July 2000 and Paragraph 7 of the collective agreement of 23 November 2004, to be interpreted as meaning that, in the case of frontier workers, the top-up amount is not to be calculated in accordance with the table set out in the Order on Minimum Net Pay?
