Notice to importers
Imports of tuna from Colombia and El Salvador into the EU
2014/C 143/06
By a notice to importers published in the Official Journal C 132 of 21.5.2010, p. 15, the Commission informed EU traders presenting documentary evidence of origin in order to benefit from preferential treatment for canned tuna and frozen tuna loins of HS subheading 1604 14 imported from Colombia and El Salvador to take all necessary precautions, since the release of the goods in question for free circulation could give rise to a customs debt and lead to fraud against the EU’s financial interests.
Certain measures to remedy this situation have meanwhile been introduced.
In addition, the GSP rules of origin rules have been modified and relaxed in particular for fishery products. The crew composition requirement, whose breach was one of the reasons which gave rise to the above publication, is no longer applicable.
Therefore, the notice to importers published in the Official Journal C 132 of 21.5.2010, p. 15 is hereby withdrawn.

Action brought on 13 May 2014 — European Commission v Grand Duchy of Luxembourg
(Case C-238/14)
2014/C 235/14
Language of the case: French

Parties


Applicant: European Commission (represented by: J. Enegren and D, Martin, acting as Agents)

Defendant: Grand Duchy of Luxembourg

Form of order sought

The applicant claims that the Court should:






—


declare that, by maintaining in force derogations from the measures aimed at preventing abuse of successive fixed-term contracts concluded with occasional entertainment workers, the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg has failed to fulfil its obligations under Clause 5 of the Annex to Council Directive 1999/70/EC concerning the framework agreement on fixed-term work concluded by ETUC, UNICE and CEEP (1);










—


order Grand Duchy of Luxembourg to pay the costs.





Pleas in law and main arguments

By maintaining in force derogations from the measures aimed at preventing abuse of successive fixed-term contracts concluded with occasional entertainment workers, Luxembourg has failed to fulfil its obligations under Clause 5 of the framework agreement.
The Commission considers that, for that category of workers, Luxembourg law does not provide for any objective reason allowing for the prevention of abuse of successive fixed-term contracts, contrary to Clause 5(1)(a) of the Annex to the framework agreement in question.
