amending Regulation (EU) No 36/2012 concerning restrictive measures in view of the situation in Syria


THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION,

Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, and in particular Article 215 thereof,


Having regard to Council Decision 2013/255/CFSP of 31 May 2013 concerning restrictive measures against Syria (1),

On 12 February 2015 the United Nations Security Council adopted Resolution UNSCR 2199 (2015), paragraph 17 of which prohibits the trade in Syrian cultural property and other items illegally removed from Syria since 15 March 2011. On 28 May 2015 the Council adopted Decision (CFSP) 2015/837 (3) amending Decision 2013/255/CFSP in order to align Decision 2013/255/CFSP with UNSCR 2199 (2015) by applying that Decision to items illegally removed from Syria since 15 March 2011.












(3)


This measure falls within the scope of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union and, therefore, in particular with a view to ensuring uniform application of the measure by economic operators in all Member States, regulatory action at the level of the Union is necessary in order to implement it.

Questions referred







1)


Is it consistent with EU law, including Article 56 TFEU, that a vehicle covered by a leasing agreement between a leasing company domiciled in one Member State and a lessee resident or domiciled in another Member State (please see question 2 below) basically cannot begin being used on the roads of the latter Member State while the authorities process an application for permission to pay proportionate registration tax on that vehicle in respect of the period for which it is desired to use the vehicle in that Member State?










2)


Is it compatible with EU law, including Article 56 TFEU, that a national measure serving as a prerequisite for the registration/proportionate adjustment of tax on a vehicle for only temporary, not permanent, use requires prior approval or means that:






(i)


the authorities require full payment of Danish registration tax as a prerequisite for immediate use, and that the difference between the full amount of tax and the proportionate amount of tax that has been calculated is to be repaid with interest if permission is subsequently given; and/or that










(ii)


the authorities require full payment of the registration tax as a prerequisite for immediate use, and this is not adjusted, and the surplus is not repaid when temporary use ceases, in the event that permission is not given?

Action brought on 28 May 2015 — Novartis Europharm v Commission
(Case T-269/15)
(2015/C 279/45)
Language of the case: English

Parties


Applicant: Novartis Europharm Ltd (Camberley, United Kingdom) (represented by: C. Schoonderbeek, lawyer)

Defendant: European Commission

Form of order sought

The applicant claims that the Court should:






—


annul the contested decision; and










—


order the European Commission to pay its own costs and those of Novartis.





Pleas in law and main arguments

By its present action, the applicant seeks the annulment of Commission Decision C(2015) 1977 final of 18 March 2015 granting a marketing authorisation to Pari Pharma for the medicinal product for human use ‘Vantobra — tobramycine’.
In support of the action, the applicant relies on two pleas in law.






1.


First plea in law, alleging that the decision of the European Commission is unlawful in that it constitutes an infringement of the orphan market exclusivity rights of Novartis Europharm Ltd. for its product TOBI Podhaler pursuant to Article 8(1) of Regulation (EC) No. 141/2000 (1) because the period of orphan market exclusivity has not yet expired while the conditions for granting a derogation of market exclusivity pursuant to Article 8(3) of the same Regulation are not fulfilled.










2.


Second plea in law, alleging that the decision of the European Commission is also unlawful because it does not contain a statement of reasons as required by Article 296 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union and Article 81(1) of Regulation (EC) No. 726/2004 (2).






(1)  Regulation (EC) No 141/2000 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 16 December 1999 on orphan medicinal products (OJ L 18, 22.1.2000, p. 1).

(2)  Regulation (EC) No 726/2004 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 31 March 2004 laying down Community procedures for the authorisation and supervision of medicinal products for human and veterinary use and establishing a European Medicines Agency (OJ L 136, 30.4.2004, p. 1).

Commission notice on current State aid recovery interest rates and reference/discount rates for 28 Member States applicable as from 1 June 2015
(Published in accordance with Article 10 of Commission Regulation (EC) No 794/2004 of 21 April 2004 (OJ L 140, 30.4.2004, p. 1))
(2015/C 174/03)
Base rates calculated in accordance with the Communication from the Commission on the revision of the method for setting the reference and discount rates (OJ C 14, 19.1.2008, p. 6.). Depending on the use of the reference rate, the appropriate margins have still to be added as defined in this communication. For the discount rate this means that a margin of 100 basispoints has to be added. The Commission Regulation (EC) No 271/2008 of 30 January 2008 amending Regulation (EC) No 794/2004 foresees that, unless otherwise provided for in a specific decision, the recovery rate will also be calculated by adding 100 basispoints to the base rate.
Modified rates are indicated in bold.
