Action brought on 20 July 2015 — European Commission v Hungary
(Case C-392/15)
(2015/C 302/34)
Language of the case: Hungarian

Parties


Applicant: European Commission (represented by: H. Støvlbæk and Talabér-Ritz K., acting as Agents)

Defendant: Hungary

Form of order sought







—


Declare that Hungary has failed to fulfil its obligations under Article 49 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union by making the exercise of the profession of notary public subject to a nationality requirement.










—


Order Hungary to pay the costs.





Pleas in law and main arguments

The Commission considers that a nationality requirement for the exercise of the profession of notary public is discriminatory and constitutes a disproportionate restriction on the freedom of establishment. Hungary has failed thereby to fulfil its obligations under Article 49 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union.
The Commission considers that the tasks conferred by Hungarian legislation on notaries public, by their nature, are not related to the exercise of the powers of a public authority, so that the derogation provided for in Article 51 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union cannot justify nationality as a requirement for access to the profession of notary public.

In the light of the principles of sincere cooperation and the effectiveness of directives, are Articles 1(1) and 2(1)(a) of Directive 89/665 (1) to be interpreted as precluding national legislation such as Section 310(2) of Ley 30/2007, de 30 de octubre, de Contratos del Sector Público (now Section 40(2) RDLeg 3/2011, que aprueba el texto refundido de la Ley de Contratos del Sector Público), in so far as it prevents access to the special application in procurement proceedings in respect of the procedural acts of the procurement board, such as the decision to admit a tender from a tenderer which, it is alleged, fails to comply with the provisions concerning proof of technical and economic solvency laid down in the national and EU legislation?
