Questions referred







1.


May the retrospective application of the law [on consumer credit] be interpreted and determined exclusively in accordance with the provisions of that law, and is such an application of the law [on consumer credit] consistent with EU law, in particular Article 30 of Directive 2008/48/EC of the European Parliament and the Council of 23 April 2008, (1) the first paragraph of which expressly states that that directive does not apply to credit agreements concluded before the entry into force of national legislation that transposed the directive into national law?

Language of the case: English

Parties


Applicant: Spliethoff’s Bevrachtingskantoor BV (Amsterdam, Netherlands) (represented by: P. Glazener, lawyer)

Defendant: European Commission

Form of order sought

The applicant claims that the Court should:






—


annul the Commission’s decision of 17 July 2015 rejecting the applicant’s proposal in response to the call for proposals in the context of the Commission Implementing decision C(2014)1921 final of 26 March 2014 establishing a multi-Annual Work Programme 2014 for financial assistance in the field of Connecting Europe Facility;










—


order the Commission to take a new decision with respect to the applicant’s proposal, taking account of the judgment of the General Court, within three months from the date of the judgment;










—


order the Commission to pay the costs of the proceedings.





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 manifest error of assessment






—


The assessment of the applicant’s proposal is incorrect as regards the award criteria of relevance, impact and quality. With a proper evaluation against those award criteria, the proposal should have been selected for EU co-funding.














2.


Second plea in law, alleging an infringement of the principle of equal treatment






—


The Commission has infringed the principle of equal treatment in the contested decision because it has not selected the applicant’s proposal, while it has selected other, similar proposals related to emission abatement technologies.
