Questions referred







1.


Is the rule of subsidiarity set out in Article 4(2) of the 2007 Hague Protocol on the law applicable to maintenance obligations to be interpreted as meaning that that rule is applicable only where an application initiating maintenance proceedings is lodged in a State other than the State in which the maintenance creditor is habitually resident?
If that question is answered in the negative:










2.


Is Article 4(2) of the 2007 Hague Protocol on the law applicable to maintenance obligations to be interpreted as meaning that the expression ‘unable … to obtain maintenance’ also refers to cases in which, on the ground of mere failure to comply with certain formal legislative conditions, the law of the previous place of residence does not provide for a right to retroactive maintenance?

Prior notification of a concentration
(Case M.8375 — H.I.G. Capital/Infinigate)
Candidate case for simplified procedure
(Text with EEA relevance)
(2017/C 48/12)






1.


On 7 February 2017, the Commission received notification of a proposed concentration pursuant to Article 4 of Council Regulation (EC) No 139/2004 (1) by which H.I.G. Capital L.L.C. (‘HIG Capital’, United States) acquires within the meaning of Article 3(1)(b) of the Merger Regulation sole control of the whole of the undertaking Infinigate Holding AG (‘Infinigate’, Switzerland) by way of a purchase of shares.










2.


The business activities of the undertakings concerned are:
—   for HIG Capital: private equity and assets investment,
—   for Infinigate: holding company of the Infinigate Group, which is active as wholesale distributor of IT security products including firewalls, VPN gateways, intrusion detection and prevention systems, encryption, virus protection, e-mail and content security solutions.










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 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.

Referring court

Hoge Raad der Nederlanden

Parties to the main proceedings


Applicant: X

Defendant: Staatssecretaris van Financiën

Operative part of the judgment







1.


Article 64(1) TFEU must be interpreted as applying to national legislation which imposes a restriction on the movements of capital referred to in that provision, such as the extended recovery period at issue in the main proceedings, even where that restriction can also be applied to situations which have nothing to do with direct investment, establishment, the provision of financial services or the admission of securities to capital markets.










2.


The opening of a securities account by a resident of a Member State with a banking institution outside the European Union, such as that at issue in the main proceedings, comes within the concept of a movement of capital involving the provision of financial services, within the meaning of Article 64(1) TFEU.










3.


The possibility, provided for in Article 64(1) TFEU, for Member States to apply restrictions on capital movements involving the provision of financial services also applies to restrictions which, like the extended recovery period at issue in the main proceedings, are not related to either the provider of the services or the conditions and mechanisms of the provision of services.
