Language of the case: Spanish

Referring court

Juzgado de lo Social No 1 de Córdoba

Parties to the main proceedings


Applicant: María Auxiliadora Arjona Camacho

Defendant: Securitas Seguridad España, S.A.

Question referred

May Article 18 of Directive 2006/54/EC, (1) which refers to the dissuasive (in addition to real, effective and proportionate) nature of the compensation to be awarded to a victim of discrimination on grounds of sex, be interpreted as meaning that it enables the national court to award the victim reasonable punitive damages that are truly additional, that is to say, an additional amount which, although going beyond the full reparation of the actual loss and damage suffered by the victim, serves as an example to others (in addition to the person responsible for the damage), provided that the amount in question is not disproportionate, that also being the case even when the concept of punitive damages does not form part of the legal tradition of that national court?

Action brought on 27 August 2014 — Italy v Commission
(Case T-636/14)
2014/C 388/24
Language of the case: Italian

Parties


Applicant: Italian Republic (represented by: P. Gentili, avvocato dello Stato, G. Palmieri, acting as Agent)

Defendant: European Commission

Form of order

The applicant claims that the Court should:






—


annul the vacancy notice for the post of Director of the Translation Centre for the Bodies of the European Union (Luxembourg), function group AD, grade 14, (COM/2014/10356), published in the Official Journal of the European Union
C 185 A of 17 June 2014;










—


order the Commission to pay the costs.





Pleas in law and main arguments

The present action is brought against the abovementioned vacancy notice, in so far as applicants are required to apply in English, French or German.
In support of its action, the applicant puts forward two pleas in law.






1.


First plea in law, alleging infringement of Article 18 TFEU and the fourth paragraph of Article 24 TFEU; of Article 22 of the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union; of Articles 1 and 2 of Regulation 1/58; and of Article 1d(1) and (6) of the Staff Regulations (applicable by analogy to temporary staff and referred to in the contested notice).






—


The applicant claims in this regard that, through the reference to the Commission’s website which set out that binding provision, the notice required applicants compulsorily to submit their CV and motivation letter in English, French or German, rather than in any one of the languages of the European Union.














2.


Second plea in law, alleging infringement of the principles of legitimate expectations and of sincere cooperation (Article 4(3) TEU).






—


The applicant claims in this regard that, during the process for the adoption of the notice in question, even though the Commission had formally assured the Italian Government that that language discrimination would be removed, it instead acted in the opposite manner when drafting the notice and preparing the rules for the functioning of the website to which the notice refers for the submission of applications.

Questions referred







1.

In the light of Article 25 of Directive 2004/18/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 31 March 2004 on the coordination of procedures for the award of public works contracts, public supply contracts and public service contracts
 (1) is the contracting authority allowed to stipulate in the tender specifications that the economic operator is required to perform at least 25 % of the works covered by the contract using its own resources?









2.


If the answer to the first question is in the negative, does the application of the requirement described in that question in a procedure for the award of a public contract result in an infringement of provisions of EU law which justifies the necessity to make a financial correction pursuant to Article 98 of Council Regulation (EC) No 1083/2006 of 11 July 2006 laying down general provisions on the European Regional Development Fund, the European Social Fund and the Cohesion Fund and repealing Regulation (EC) No 1260/1999 (2)?
