Questions referred







1.


Did Annex XII of the Treaty of Accession permit Member States to exclude Polish nationals from the benefits of Article 7(2) of the Workers Regulation (1) and Article 7(3) of the Citizenship Directive (2) where the worker, though he had belatedly complied with the national requirement that his employment be registered, had not yet worked for an uninterrupted registered twelve month period?










2.


If the answer to the first question is ‘no,’ may a Polish national worker in the circumstances in question 1 rely on Article 7(3) of the Citizenship Directive which concerns retention of worker status?

            COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING DECISION (EU) 2016/2093
of 29 November 2016
         
on a derogation as regards the date of application of the registered exporter system on exports from the overseas countries and territories


THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,

Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,


Having regard to Council Decision 2013/755/EU of 25 November 2013 on the association of the overseas countries and territories with the European Union (‘Overseas Association Decision’) (1), and in particular Article 63 of Annex VI thereto,

Whereas:







(1)


In accordance with Annex VI to Decision 2013/755/EU, the new procedure for the certification of origin and the methods of administrative cooperation, the Registered Exporters (REX) system, will apply as of 1 January 2017. The current system of certification and administrative cooperation applies until 31 December 2016.












(2)


The overseas countries and territories (OCTs) listed in Annex II to the Treaty have each addressed a letter to the Commission stating that they are not ready to start applying REX as from 1 January 2017 and requesting that the system is applied from a later date. All of the letters indicate that the OCTs will be able to apply the REX system from 1 January 2020.












(3)


In view of those requests and to allow the OCTs the time to prepare to be in a position to apply the REX system, it is appropriate to grant a derogation from the registered exporter system to those OCTs and to allow them to apply Articles 21 to 35 and Articles 54, 55 and 56 of Annex VI to Decision 2013/755/EU after 1 January 2017.












(4)


The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Customs Code Committee,





HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:



Article 1
By way of derogation from the registered exporter system, the OCTs listed in Annex II to the Treaty may continue to apply Articles 21 to 35 and Articles 54, 55 and 56 of Annex VI to Decision 2013/755/EU until 31 December 2019.


Article 2
This Decision shall enter into force on the twentieth day following that of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.




Done at Brussels, 29 November 2016.

Action brought on 29 November 2016 — European Commission v Federal Republic of Germany
(Case C-620/16)
(2017/C 038/20)
Language of the case: Germany

Parties


Applicant: European Commission (represented by: W. Mölls, L. Havas and J. Hottiaux, acting as Agents)

Defendant: Federal Republic of Germany

Form of order sought

The applicant claims that the Court should:






—


declare that the Federal Republic of Germany infringed Council Decision 2014/699/EU (1) and Article 4(3) TEU, in so far as, at the 25th meeting of the OTIF Revision Committee, it voted against the common position laid down in that decision and expressed open opposition both to that common position and to the exercise of voting rights by the EU provided for therein.










—


order the Federal Republic of Germany to pay the costs.





Pleas in law and main arguments

In support of the action, the applicant relies on the following pleas in law:
The Intergovernmental Organisation for International Carriage by Rail (OTIF), of which the EU alongside 26 Member States is a member, administers the Convention concerning International Carriage by Rail (COTIF).
At the 25th meeting of the OTIF Revision Committee a vote was held with respect to certain changes to the convention and its annexes. The Council laid down the EU common position with regard to several of those points in Decision 2014/699/EU.
At the meeting, the Federal Republic of Germany voted in two points against the common position laid down in that decision, expressed open opposition to that common position and in one case also to exercise of voting rights by the EU provided for in the decision.
That conduct is incompatible with Decision 2014/699/EU and with Article 4(3) TEU.


(1)  Council Decision 2014/699/EU of 24 June 2014 establishing the position to be adopted on behalf of the European Union at the 25th session of the OTIF Revision Committee as regards certain amendments to the Convention concerning International Carriage by Rail (COTIF) and to the Appendices thereto (OJ L 293, p. 26).
