Language of the case: French

Parties


Applicant: European Commission (represented by: M. van Beek, G. von Rintelen, Agents)

Defendant: Grand Duchy of Luxembourg

—


declare that in not adopting by 1 June 2015 the laws, regulations and administrative provisions necessary to comply with Directive 2014/27/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council of 26 February 2014 amending Council Directives 92/58/EEC, 92/85/EEC, 94/33/EC, 98/24/EC and Directive 2004/37/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council, in order to align them to Regulation 1272/2008 on classification, labelling and packaging of substances and mixtures, or at least in not informing the Commission of those measures, the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg failed to comply with its obligations under Article 6(1) of Directive 2014/27/EU;










—


impose upon the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg, under Article 260(3) TFEU, a daily penalty payment of EUR 8 710 with effect from the day of delivery of the judgment of the Court in the present case for failure to fulfil the obligation to communicate the measures transposing Directive 2014/27/EU;

(Case T-699/16 P)
(2016/C 454/49)
Language of the case: French

Parties


Appellant: European Parliament (represented by: V. Montebello-Demogeot and M. Dean, acting as Agents)

Other party to the proceedings: Sonja Meyrl (Brussels, Belgium)

Form of order sought

The appellant claims that the Court should:






—


set aside the judgment under appeal;










—


consequently, dismiss the action at first instance;










—


declare that each of the parties should bear its own costs in relation to the present proceedings;










—


order Ms Meyrl to pay the costs of the proceedings at first instance.





Grounds of appeal and main arguments

In support of its appeal, the appellant raises three grounds.






1.


First ground of appeal, alleging an error in law, a distortion of the facts and a failure to provide adequate reasons, in so far as the Civil Service Tribunal (CST) held, in paragraph 25 of the judgment under appeal, that the possibility of reassigning the other party to the proceedings to a different post would have made it possible for the latter not to be dismissed.










2.


Second ground of appeal, alleging an error in law, a distortion of the facts and a failure to provide adequate reasons in the conclusion that the CST reached, in paragraphs 23 and 30 of the judgment under appeal, that the relationship problems were an additional reason for the dismissal of the other party to the proceedings.










3.


Third ground of appeal, alleging a manifest error of assessment resulting from the finding of the CST according to which, if the other party to the proceedings had also been given the opportunity to set out her views on the relationship problems, that might indeed have changed the outcome of the decision-making process resulting in the contested decision, namely, her dismissal.
