(Case T-555/15)
(2015/C 398/77)
Language of the case: Hungarian

Parties


Applicant: Hungary (represented by: M.Z. Fehér and G. Koós)

Defendant: European Commission

Form of order sought







—


Annul in part Commission Decision C(2015) 4808 of 15 July 2015 on the 2014 amendment of the Hungarian food chain inspection fee insofar as that decision orders the suspension of the application of the progressive rate of the Hungarian food chain inspection fee.










—


Order the Commission to pay the costs.





Pleas in law and main arguments

In support of the action, the applicant relies on the following plea(s) in law.






1.


Misuse of discretion, manifest error of assessment and breach of the principle of proportionality






—


First, the applicant argues that, in ordering the suspension, the Commission made a manifest error of assessment and thereby overstepped the bounds of its discretion and breached the principle of proportionality.














2.


Breach of the prohibition on discrimination and of the requirement of equal treatment






—


Secondly, the applicant argues that the Commission’s conduct as regards the suspension can be said to be inconsistent and as a result gives rise to a breach of the prohibition on discrimination and the requirement of equal treatment.














3.


Breach of the obligation to state reasons and of the principle of sound administration and rights of the defence






—


Thirdly, the applicant takes the view, inter alia, that, in ordering the suspension, the Commission failed to observe the requirement to state reasons.














4.


[Breach of] the requirement of sincere cooperation and the right to effective legal remedies






—


Finally, the applicant takes the view that the suspension ordered by the Commission results in the breach of guaranteed basic rights such as the requirement of sincere cooperation and the right to an effective legal remedy.

Request for an Advisory Opinion from the EFTA Court by Fürstliches Obergericht, Liechtenstein, dated 25 September 2015, in the Case of Walter Waller v Liechtensteinische Invalidenversicherung
(Case E-24/15)
(2016/C 457/10)
A request has been made to the EFTA Court by a letter dated 25 September 2015 from Fürstliches Obergericht, Liechtenstein (Princely Court of Appeal, Liechtenstein), which was received at the Court Registry on 1 October 2015, for an Advisory Opinion in the case of Walter Waller v Liechtensteinische Invalidenversicherung, on the following questions:






1.


Does the fact that under the second sentence of Article 87(2) of Regulation (EC) No 987/2009 the debtor institution shall be bound by the findings of the institution of the place of stay or residence preclude the debtor institution from challenging those findings – and thus the information stated in the detailed medical report provided in form E 213 – in its procedure?










2.


If the answer to the first question is in the affirmative: Does that binding effect also apply in court proceedings which, under national procedural rules, follow on from the proceedings before a debtor institution?
