Appeal brought on 30 September 2016 José Barroso Truta, Marc Forli, Calogero Galante, Bernard Gradel against the judgment of the Civil Service Tribunal of 20 July 2016 in Case F-126/15, Barroso Truta and Others v Court of Justice
(Case T-702/16 P)
(2016/C 441/35)
Language of the case: French

Parties


Appellants: José Barroso Truta (Bofferdange, Luxembourg), Marc Forli (Lexy, France), Calogero Galante (Aix-Sur-Cloie, Belgium), Bernard Gradel (Konacker, France) (represented by S. Orlandi and T. Martin, lawyers)

Other party to the proceedings: Court of Justice of the European Union

Form of order sought by the appellants

The appellants claim that the Court should:






—


Set aside the judgment of the Civil Service Tribunal in Case F-126/15, Barroso Truta and Others v CJEU;




and, giving judgment itself,






—


Order the Court of Justice to pay EUR 61 121,08 on behalf of Mr Barroso Truta, EUR 129 440,98 on behalf of Mr Forli, EUR 76 324,29 on behalf of Mr Galante and EUR 99 565,13 on behalf of Mr Gradel, to any fund or insurance policy in the appellants’ names;










—


In the alternative, order the Court of Justice to pay the abovementioned amounts to the appellants, those sums to be paid together with interest calculated at a rate of 3,1 % per annum from the date of the transfer of the appellants’ pension rights to the pension scheme of the EU institutions;










—


Order the Court of Justice to pay the costs in both sets of proceedings.





Pleas in law and main arguments

In support of the appeal, the appellants rely on three pleas in law.






1.


First plea in law, alleging that the Civil Service Tribunal (CST) erred in law by holding that the action for damages was inadmissible on the ground that the appellants did not observe the pre-litigation procedure, which allegedly should have commenced with the submission of a complaint, followed by a possible action for annulment of the decisions recognising the crediting of pensionable years in the pension scheme of the EU institutions.










2.


Second plea in law, alleging that the CST erred in law by holding that the AECC had committed no administrative error when communicating proposals concerning additional pensionable years, which nevertheless proved to be incomplete or incorrect with regard to contract agents in function group I.










3.


Third plea in law, alleging that the CST erred in law by holding that the harm claimed by the appellants was hypothetical.

Prior notification of a concentration
(Case M.8211 — Marubeni/Toho Gas/Galp Energia/GGND)
Candidate case for simplified procedure
(Text with EEA relevance)
(2016/C 359/08)






1.


On 21 September 2016, the Commission received notification of a proposed concentration pursuant to Article 4 of Council Regulation (EC) No 139/2004 (1) by which the undertakings Marubeni Corporation (‘Marubeni’ of Japan), Toho Gas Co., Ltd (‘Toho Gas’ of Japan) and Galp Energia, SGPS, SA (‘Galp Energia’ of Portugal) acquire within the meaning of Article 3(1)(b) of the Merger Regulation joint control of Galp Gás Natural Distribuição, S.A. (‘GGND’ of Portugal) by way of purchase of shares.










2.


The business activities of the undertakings concerned are:
—   for Marubeni: global trading across various industries, including energy and energy related projects;
—   for Toho Gas: gas supply and related services in Japan, as well as activities across various other industries;
—   for Galp Energia: exploration and production of oil and natural gas, refining and marketing of oil products, marketing of natural gas and power generation;
—   for GGND: natural gas distribution in Portugal.










3.


On preliminary examination, the Commission finds that the notified transaction could fall within the scope of the Merger Regulation. However, the final decision on this point is reserved. Pursuant to the Commission Notice on a simplified procedure for treatment of certain concentrations under the Council Regulation (EC) No 139/2004 (2) it should be noted that this case is a candidate for treatment under the procedure set out in this Notice.
