Parties to the main proceedings


Applicant: SC Total Waste Recycling SRL

Defendant: Országos Környezetvédelmi és Természetvédelmi Főfelügyelőség

Questions referred







1)


Should the shipment of waste ‘in a way which is not specified materially in the notification or movement documents’, within the meaning of Article 2(35)(d) of Regulation (EC) No 1013/2006 (1), be understood to refer to the modes of transport stipulated in Annexes IA and IB to Regulation (EC) No 1013/2006 (road, train/rail, sea, air, inland waterway)?










2)


In the event of any essential change being made to the details and/or conditions of the consented shipment, within the meaning of Article 17(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1013/2006, does failure to notify the authority justify a finding that waste has been shipped ‘in a way which is not specified materially in the notification or movement documents’, within the meaning of Article 2(35)(d) of Regulation (EC) No 1013/2006, and hence shipped illegally?










3)


Should it be regarded as an essential change to the details and/or conditions of the consented consignment, within the meaning of Article 17(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1013/2006, if the waste consignment enters the notified country of transit at another, different border crossing point than that stated in the consent or the notification document?










4)


If a waste shipment is to be regarded as illegal because it enters the country of transit at a place which differs from that stated in the consent or the notification document, is it possible to regard the fine which has been imposed for that reason as proportionate if the amount is the same as the amount of the fine prescribed for a breach of the requirement to obtain consent and to give prior notification in writing?






(1)  Regulation (EC) No 1013/2006 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 14 June 2006 on shipments of waste (OJ 2006 L 190, p. 1).

(Text with EEA relevance)
2014/C 389/14






1.


On 28 October 2014, the Commission received a notification of a proposed concentration pursuant to Article 4 and following a referral pursuant to Article 4(5) of Council Regulation (EC) No 139/2004 (1) by which Lear Corporation (‘Lear’, USA) acquires sole control over Everett Smith Group, Ltd (‘ESG’, USA), by way of purchase of shares.










2.


The business activities of the undertakings concerned are:
—   for Lear: global manufacturer of seating for vehicles and electrical distribution products for vehicles,
—   for ESG: global supplier of automotive leather products, including seat covers, instrument panels, door panels, and other interior leather applications across various types of vehicle.










3.


On preliminary examination, the Commission finds that the notified transaction could fall within the scope of the Merger Regulation. However, the final decision on this point is reserved. Pursuant to the Commission Notice on a simplified procedure for treatment of certain concentrations under Council Regulation (EC) No 139/2004 (2) it should be noted that this case is a candidate for treatment under the procedure set out in the Notice.

(Case C-489/14)
(2015/C 026/13)
Language of the case: English

Referring court

High Court of Justice, Family Division (England and Wales)

Parties to the main proceedings


Applicant: A

Defendant: B

Questions referred







1.


For the purposes of Article 19(1) and (3) (1), what does ‘established’ mean, in circumstances where:-






a)


the applicant, in the proceedings in the court first seised (‘the first proceedings’), takes virtually no steps in the first proceedings beyond the first court appointment, and in particular does not issue a Petition (Assignation) within the time limit for the expiry of the Request (Requête), with the result that the first proceedings expire undetermined by effluxion of time and in accordance with the local (French) law of the first proceedings, namely 30 months after the first directions appointment;










b)


the first proceedings expire as above very shortly (3 days) after the proceedings in the court second seised (‘the second proceedings’) are issued in England, with the result that there is no judgment in France nor any danger of irreconcilable judgments between the first proceedings and the second proceedings; and










c)


by virtue of the United Kingdom's time zone the applicant in the first proceedings would, following the lapse of the first proceedings, always be able to issue divorce proceedings in France before the applicant could issue divorce proceedings in England?














2.


In particular, does ‘established’ import that the applicant in the first proceedings must take steps to progress the first proceedings with due diligence and expedition to a resolution of the dispute (whether by the Court or by agreement), or is the applicant in the first proceedings, having once secured jurisdiction under Articles 3 and 19(1), free to take no substantive steps at all towards resolution of the first proceedings as above and free thereby simply to secure a stop of the second proceedings and a stalemate in the dispute as a whole?
