Action brought on 13 October 2014 — Belgium v Commission
(Case T-721/14)
(2014/C 431/66)
Language of the case: Dutch

Parties


Applicant: Kingdom of Belgium (represented by: L. Van den Broeck and M. Jacobs, acting as Agents, and P. Vlaemminck and B. Van Vooren, lawyers)

Defendant: European Commission

Form of order sought

The applicant claims that the Court should:






—


annul Commission Recommendation 2014/478/EU of 14 July 2014 on principles for the protection of consumers and players of online gambling services and for the prevention of minors from gambling online;










—


order the Commission to pay the costs.





Pleas in law and main arguments

In support of the action, the applicant relies on five pleas in law.






1.


First plea in law, alleging infringement of the principle of conferral under Article 5 TEU by not referring to the substantive legal basis in the Treaties that confer on the Commission the competence to adopt the contested measure.










2.


Second plea in law, alleging infringement of the principle of conferral, given that the Treaties do not confer on the Commission the competence to adopt an instrument with harmonising effect in the games of chance sector.










3.


Third plea in law, alleging infringement of the principle of cooperation in good faith under Article 4(3) TEU and the principle of institutional balance under Article 13(2) TEU due to the Commission’s disregard of the Conclusions of the Council of 10 December 2010‘Framework for gambling and betting in the EU member states’ (Document 16884/10).










4.


Fourth plea in law, alleging infringement of the principle of cooperation in good faith under Article 4(3) TEU in respect of the Member States.










5.


Fifth plea in law, alleging infringement of Articles 13(2) TEU and 288 and 288 TFEU, given that the contested instrument constitutes de facto a hidden directive. The applicant also claims an infringement of Article 52 of the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union because the Commission did not implement in accordance with law a limitation on the freedom of expression and information as laid down in Article 11 of the Charter of Fundamental Rights.

Parties


Applicant: PRIMA — Produtsentska, reklamna, informatsionna i mediyna agentsia AD (Sofia, Bulgaria) (represented by: Yakor Sergeyev Ruskov, lawyer)

Defendant: European Commission

Form of order sought

The applicant claims that the Court should:






—


Annul the decision of the European Commission of 12 August 2014 by which the applicant’s bid made in the context of public procurement procedure PO/2013 13/SOF relating to support for the European Commission representative in Bulgaria in the context of the organization of public events;

—


Order the defendant to pay the costs.





Pleas in law and main arguments

In support of the action, the applicant relies on three pleas in law.






1.


First plea in law, alleging an infringement of the obligation to provide information






—


the contracting authority provided the information requested by PRIMA relating to the characteristics of the successful bid, but failed to provide information relating to the relative advantages of that bid.














2.


Second plea in law, alleging an incorrect application of the award criteria






—


the award criteria created by the contracting authority were not applied correctly and objectively, as a result of which the marks awarded for the fulfilment of those criteria are not relevant; it follows that equal access and treatment of all the tenderers have not been ensured.














3.


Third plea in law, alleging an infringement of the principles governing the award of public contracts






—


the decision to award the contract was taken after the date of the first decision, by which PRIMA’s bid was rejected;










—


the contracting authority failed to inform PRIMA about that decision, which is an infringement of the principles of transparency and equality of participants to the procedure;










—


the failure to provide the information concerning that decision considerably adversely affected PRIMA’s rights of defence.

Language of the case: Danish

Parties


Applicant: European Commission (represented by: M. Clausen. C. Cattabriga, acting as Agents)

Defendant: Kingdom of Denmark

Form of order sought







—


Declare that, by maintaining a legal situation in which the sale of loose snuff is permitted contrary to Article 8, read in conjunction with Article 2(4) of Directive 2001/37/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 5 June 2001 on the approximation of the laws, regulations and administrative provisions of the Member States concerning the manufacture, presentation and sale of tobacco products (1), the Kingdom of Denmark has failed to fulfil its obligations under that directive;










—


the order Kingdom of Denmark to pay the costs.





Pleas in law and main arguments

The Kingdom of Denmark has failed to fulfil its obligations under Article 8 of Directive 2001/37/EC by prohibiting only sales of snuff in porous portion sachets, but not loose snuff, in Denmark. Denmark has not disputed that its national rules do not comply with EU law in so far as regards the prohibition of marketing of tobacco for oral use. A legislative proposal which would have introduced a complete prohibition on the sale of snuff in Denmark was, however, rejected by the Danish Parliament (Folketing).
Denmark has not given any further commitments that it will bring Danish rules into line with EU law. The Commission must accordingly conclude that Denmark has still failed to fulfil its obligations under Article 8 of the Directive, read in conjunction with Article 2(4) thereof.

Questions referred







1)


Are Article 49 et seq. TFEU and Article 56 et seq. TFEU, considered also in the light of the principles set out in the judgment of the Court of Justice of the European Union of 16 February 2012 [in Joined Cases C-72/10 and C-77/10], to be interpreted as precluding a call for tenders for the award of licences with a period of validity shorter than that of licences awarded in the past?










2)


Are Article 49 et seq. TFEU and Article 56 et seq. TFEU, considered also in the light of the principles set out in the judgment of the Court of Justice of the European Union of 16 February 2012 [in Joined Cases C 72/10 and C 77/10], to be interpreted as precluding the possibility that sufficient justification for the shorter period of validity of licences offered for tender, as compared with licences awarded in the past, can be found in the requirement for the licensing system to be reorganised through the alignment of licence expiry dates?










3)


Are Article 49 et seq. TFEU and Article 56 et seq. TFEU, considered also in the light of the principles set out in the judgment of the Court of Justice of the European Union of 16 February 2012 [in Joined Cases C 72/10 and C 77/10], to be interpreted as precluding the imposition of an obligation to transfer, free of charge, the use of tangible and intangible assets represented by the betting management and collection network in the event that the activity has ceased owing to the expiry of the licence or as a result of measures disqualifying the licence-holder or withdrawing the licence?
