Appeal brought on 18 December 2013 by European Commission against the judgment of the Civil Service Tribunal of 23 October 2013 in Case F-93/12 D'Agostino v Commission
(Case T-670/13 P)
2014/C 78/25
Language of the case: French

Parties


Appellant: European Commission (represented by J. Currall and G. Gattinara, acting as Agents)

Other party to the proceedings: Luigi D'Agostino (Luxembourg, Luxembourg)

Form of order sought by the appellant







—


Annul the judgment of the Civil Service Tribunal of 23 October 2013 in Case F-93/12 D’Agostino v Commission;










—


Dismiss the action brought by Mr D’Agostino in Case F-93/12 as unfounded;










—


Order that each party shall bear its own costs of the present instance;










—


Order Mr D’Agostino to pay the costs of the action brought before the Civil Service Tribunal;










—


Stay the proceedings until delivery of the judgment in Case T-368/12 P Commission v Macchia.





Pleas in law and main arguments

In support of the appeal, the appellant relies on three grounds of appeal.






1.


First ground of appeal, alleging a material error and a distortion of the facts, in that the Civil Service Tribunal (CST) applied its judgment in Case F-63/11 Macchia v Commission, not yet published, to the situation of a member of the contract staff who had not sought the renewal of his contract.










2.


Second ground of appeal, alleging errors of law, divided into three parts, based on:






—


an incorrect interpretation of Article 3a of the Conditions of Employment of Other Staff of the European Union (CEOS) (with regard to paragraphs 56 to 58 of the judgment under appeal);










—


an error of law in the definition of the relationship between the interest of the service and the principle of legality (with regard to paragraph 63 of the judgment under appeal);










—


an infringement of the limits on the judicial review of the CST and the fact that the CST therefore ruled ultra vires (with regard to paragraphs 59, 60 and 63).














3.


Third ground of appeal alleging an infringement of the duty to state reasons (with regard to paragraphs 57 and 59 of the judgment under appeal).

(Case C-677/13)
2014/C 52/55
Language of the case: Greek

Parties


Applicant: European Commission (represented by: M. Patakia and E. Sanfrutos Cano)

Defendant: Hellenic Republic

Form of order sought

The applicant claims that the Court should:






—


declare that the Hellenic Republic,






—


by not taking the necessary measures to ensure that (a) waste management at the Kiato landfill site is carried out without endangering human health and without harming the environment and (b) the abandonment, dumping or uncontrolled management of waste at said landfill site is prohibited,










—


by tolerating the operation of the said landfill site without agreed environmental conditions and a valid permit which comply with the prerequisites for the issue of such a permit and its content, and consequently not ensuring that only waste that has been subject to treatment is landfilled, the holder of the waste or the operator of the said landfill site not being able to show before or at the time of delivery that the waste in question can be accepted at that landfill site according to the conditions set out in the permit, and that it fulfils the acceptance criteria set out in Annex II,










—


by not ensuring that monitoring and control procedures during the operational phase meet the minimum legal requirements,




has failed to fulfil its obligations under Articles 13, 23 and 36(1) of Directive 2008/98/EC (1) on waste and Article 6 (subparagraph (a)), Article 8, Article 9 (subparagaphs (a) (b) and (c)), Article 11(1) (subparagraph (a)) and Article 12 of Directive 99/31/EC (2) on the landfill of waste;










—


order the Hellenic Republic to pay the costs.





Pleas in law and main arguments







1.


The Greek authorities continue to tolerate the Kiato landfill site without agreed environmental conditions and without the appropriate permit (infringement of Article 23 of Directive 2008/98/EC and Articles 8 (particularly subparagraph (a)) and 9 (subparagraphs (a), (b) and (c)) of Directive 99/31/EC. Because of the absence of that permit, the Hellenic Republic is consequently not in a position to meet the obligations which stem from Article 6, subparagraph (a), and Article 11(1), (subparagraph (a)) of Directive 99/31/EC.
The inspections which were carried out on 24 October 2007, 3 November 2011 and 31 July 2012 revealed some substantial problems of malfunctioning at the Kiato landfill site and the overfilling of the site. There is a clear infringement of Articles 13 and 36(1) of Directive 2008/98/EC and Articles 8, 9, and 12 of Directive 99/31/EC.
