Pleas in law and main arguments

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






1.


First plea in law, alleging a failure to comply with the selection criteria and, more precisely, the criteria concerning financial and economic standing and technical and professional standing.










2.


Second plea in law, alleging a failure to comply with the award criteria. The applicants submit that, in so far as it proves to be the case that, when comparing the successful tenderer’s bid and the bids submitted by the other tenderers, that bid is abnormally low, the defendant ought to have rejected the bid and awarded the contract to the applicants.

Language of the case: Dutch

Referring court

Centrale Raad van Beroep

Parties to the main proceedings


Appellant: Korpschef van politie

Respondent: W.F. de Munk

Questions referred







1.


Must Article 7 of Directive 2003/88/EC (1) be interpreted as meaning that it cannot be reconciled with a national provision such as Article 19 of the Besluit algemene rechtspositie politie (Decree on the general legal status of the police) (‘the Barp’), under which a public servant who has been wrongly dismissed does not accumulate any leave hours during the period between the date of dismissal and the date of reinstatement of the employment relationship, or the date on which the employment relationship is finally validly terminated?










2.


If it follows from Question 1 that leave hours were indeed accumulated during the period at issue, must Article 7 of Directive 2003/88/EC then be interpreted as meaning that it cannot be reconciled with Article 23 of the Barp, which provides that at the end of the reference year only a limited number of leave hours may be carried over to the following year and the remaining unused leave hours expire?

On 28 April 2015, the Commission received a notification of a proposed concentration pursuant to Article 4 of Council Regulation (EC) No 139/2004 (1) by which the undertaking Advent International Corporation (‘Advent’, United States) will acquire within the meaning of Article 3(1)(b) of the Merger Regulation sole control of the undertaking Hypo Group Alpe Adria AG (‘HGAA’, Austria), by way purchase of shares.

The business activities of the undertakings concerned are:
—   Advent: a global private equity investor in various sectors, including media, communications, financial services, information technology, retail, industrial and pharmaceuticals,
—   HGAA: a company comprising a network of banks active in: (i) banking business with retail, corporate and public customers; and (ii) leasing business in South-Eastern Europe, including in Croatia and Slovenia.

—


annul Commission Implementing Decision 2013/123/EU of 26 February 2013 on excluding from European Union financing certain expenditure incurred by the Member States under the Guarantee Section of the European Agricultural Guidance and Guarantee Fund (EAGGF), under the European Agricultural Guarantee Fund (EAGF) and under the European Agricultural Fund for Rural Development (EAFRD) (notified under document C(2013) 981) (1), in so far as it excludes from European Union financing the sums of EUR 2 8 7 63  238,60 and EUR 5 6 88  440,96 paid by the paying agency accredited by the Republic of Poland;










—


order the European Commission to pay the costs at first instance and on appeal.





Pleas in law and main arguments

The Republic of Poland raises against the judgment under appeal a plea of misinterpretation of Article 11(1) of Regulation No 1257/1999 and Article 23(2) of Regulation No 1698/2005 consisting in the acceptance that a condition of support for early retirement is that the transferor of the farm must have carried on commercial farming before the transfer of that farm, whereas those provisions give rise to a requirement that (commercial or non-commercial) farming has been carried on for 10 years before the transfer of the farm and a prohibition of commercial farming by the transferor of the farm after the transfer of that farm.
According to the Republic of Poland, a requirement that commercial farming has been carried on in the period preceding the transfer of the farm does not follow from EU law. Article 11(1) of Regulation No 1257/1999 and Article 23(2) of Regulation No 1698/2005 lay down a requirement that farming activity has been carried on for 10 years preceding the transfer of the farm, but the activity during that period may be commercial or non-commercial. In addition, those provisions prohibit commercial farming by the transferor of the farm after the transfer of the farm.
