            COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING DECISION (EU) 2016/2316
of 16 December 2016
         
amending Implementing Decision (EU) 2015/1849 on measures to prevent the introduction into and the spread within the Union of harmful organisms as regards certain vegetables originating in Ghana


THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,

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


Having regard to Council Directive 2000/29/EC of 8 May 2000 on protective measures against the introduction into the Community of organisms harmful to plants or plant products and against their spread within the Community (1), and in particular the third sentence of Article 16(3), thereof,

Whereas:







(1)


Commission Implementing Decision (EU) 2015/1849 (2) prohibits the introduction into the territory of the Union of plants, other than seeds, of Capsicum L., Lagenaria Ser., Luffa Mill., Momordica L. and Solanum L., other than S. lycopersicum L., originating in Ghana.












(2)


That prohibition is limited in time. It applies until the end of the year 2016. The audit carried out in Ghana in September 2016 revealed that the shortcomings in the phytosanitary export certification system of that third country persist. Consequently, it is appropriate to extend that prohibition until 31 December 2017.












(3)


Implementing Decision (EU) 2015/1849 should therefore be amended accordingly.












(4)


The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on Plants, Animals, Food and Feed,





HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:



Article 1
Article 2 of Implementing Decision (EU) 2015/1849 is replaced by the following:


‘Article 2
Article 1 shall apply until 31 December 2017.’




Article 2
This Decision is addressed to the Member States.




Done at Brussels, 16 December 2016.

Action brought on 16 December 2016 — Republic of Poland v Commission
(Case T-883/16)
(2017/C 038/68)
Language of the case: Polish

Parties


Applicant: Republic of Poland (represented by: B. Majczyna, acting as Agent)

Defendant: European Commission

Form of order sought

The applicant claims that the General Court should:






—


annul the decision of the Commission of 28 October 2016 concerning amendments to the conditions of the exemption of the Opal gas pipeline from the requirements on third-party access (TPA) and tariff regulation granted under Directive 2003/55/EC;










—


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 five pleas in law.






1.


The first plea in law alleges infringement of Article 36(1)(a) of Directive 2009/73/EC, in conjunction with Article 194(1)(b) TFEU, and of the principle of solidarity through the granting of a new regulatory exemption for the Opal gas pipeline, even though that exemption undermines the security of gas supplies.










2.


The second plea in law alleges lack of competence on the part of the Commission and infringement of Article 36(1), in conjunction with Article 2(17), of Directive 2009/73/EC through the granting of a new regulatory exemption for the Opal gas pipeline, even though that pipeline is not an ‘interconnector’.










3.


The third plea in law alleges infringement of Article 36(1)(b) of Directive 2009/73/EC through the granting of a new regulatory exemption for the Opal gas pipeline despite the fact that there was no risk that the investment would not take place if that exemption were not granted.










4.


The fourth plea in law alleges infringement of Article 36(1)(a) and (e) of Directive 2009/73/EC through the granting of a new regulatory exemption for the Opal gas pipeline despite the negative impact of that exemption on competition.










5.


The fifth plea in law alleges infringement of international agreements binding the European Union, namely the Energy Charter Treaty, the Energy Community Treaty and the Association Agreement with Ukraine.

Commissione Tributaria Provinciale di Reggio Calabria

Parties to the main proceedings


Applicant: Fortunata Silvia Fontana

Defendant: Agenzia delle Entrate -Direzione provinciale di Reggio Calabria

Question referred

Do Articles 113 and 114 TFEU and Council Directive 2006/112/EC (1) of 28 November 2006 on the common system of value added tax preclude the Italian domestic legislation in Articles 62 sexies (3) and 62 bis of Legislative Decree 331/1993 [converted into law by] Law No 427 of 29 October 1993, which allows the application of VAT to the overall turnover established by extrapolation, in the light of the principle of deduction and the obligation to recover the tax and, more generally, the principle of the neutrality and the passing-on of the tax?
