Reference for a preliminary ruling from Upper Tribunal (United Kingdom) made on 22 December 2011 — Anita Chieza v Secretary of State for Work and Pensions
(Case C-680/11)
2012/C 65/15
Language of the case: English

Referring court

Upper Tribunal

Parties to the main proceedings


Applicant: Anita Chieza

Defendant: Secretary of State for Work and Pensions

Question referred







1.


Is the differential treatment on the basis of gender under the incapacity benefit scheme necessarily and objectively linked to the difference in pensionable age so that it falls within the scope of the derogation under Article 7(l)(a) of Directive 79/7 (1) in circumstances where a claimant:






(a)


is a woman;










(b)


falls ill before reaching pensionable age (for a woman, 60);










(c)


receives statutory sick pay (SSP) from her employer for 28 weeks, taking her past pensionable age;










(d)


after reaching pensionable age, makes a claim for short-term incapacity benefit;










(e)


meets the contributions requirements for entitlement to short-term incapacity benefit;










(f)


is denied short-term incapacity benefit because as a matter of law her ‘period of incapacity for work’ began after she reached pensionable age (because legislation provides that a period of entitlement to SSP does not count as a period of incapacity for work),








but where a male claimant who falls ill shortly before the age of 60, receives SSP from his employer for 28 weeks, and makes a claim for short-term incapacity benefit at the age of 60, will in principle qualify for short-term incapacity benefit, as his period of incapacity for work began before he attained pensionable age, albeit after reaching 60?

Action brought on 22 December 2011 — IPK International v Commission
(Case T-671/11)
2012/C 65/33
Language of the case: German

Parties


Applicant: IPK International — World Tourism Marketing Consultants GmbH (Munich, Germany) (represented by: C. Pitschas, lawyer)

Defendant: European Commission

Form of order sought

The applicant claims that the Court should:






—


annul the Commission’s decision of 14 October 2011 (ENTR/R1/HHO/lsa — entr.r.1(2011)1183091) in so far as it grants the applicant interest merely in the amount of EUR 158 618,27;










—


order the Commission to pay the costs.





Pleas in law and main arguments

In support of the action, the applicant submits that the defendant infringed Article 266 TFEU as it incorrectly calculated the compensatory and default interest to be paid as a consequence of the judgment of the General Court of 15 April 2011 in Case T-297/05 IPK International v Commission.
