Respondent: Administrația Fondului pentru Mediu

Question referred

Can Article 15 of European Parliament and Council Directive 94/62/EC of 20 December 1994 on packaging and packaging waste (1) be interpreted as precluding the adoption, in a Member State of the European Union, of legislation that imposes a contribution payable by the economic operator which places packaged goods and packaging on the market, without in any way altering the goods or packaging, and sells them in the same form to an economic operator which, in turn, sells them on to the final consumer, the amount of the contribution being fixed per kilogram (kg), on the basis of the difference between, on the one hand, the quantities of packaging waste corresponding to the minimum targets for recovery or incineration in waste incineration plants with energy recovery and waste recycling facilities, and, on the other, the quantities of packaging waste actually recovered or incinerated in waste incineration plants with energy recovery and waste recycling facilities?

Action brought on 27 February 2017 — Torné v Commission
(Case T-128/17)
(2017/C 129/41)
Language of the case: French

Parties


Applicant: Isabel Torné (Algés, Portugal) (represented by: S. Orlandi and T. Martin, lawyers)

Defendant: European Commission

Form of order sought

Declare and rule that:






—


The decision of 16 April 2016 to reject her application to have her pension accrual rate and her retirement date fixed is annulled;










—


The European Commission is ordered to pay the costs.





Pleas in law and main arguments

In the present action, the applicant contests the decision impliedly rejecting her application for an advance ruling concerning certain fixed and invariable factors in the calculation of her pension rights. She is of the opinion that the implied rejection of her application constitutes a failure to take a measure required by the Staff Regulations and, accordingly, is a measure adversely affecting her for the purpose of Article 90 of the Staff Regulations.
With regard to the factors for calculation of her pension, the applicant also contests the Commission’s practice of taking the view that the transfer of a member of the temporary staff covered by Article 2(f) of the CEOS to another EU agency entails the conclusion of a new contract, separate from the previous contract, which shows a discontinuity in the career of that member of the temporary staff and therefore entails the application of the new rules under the Staff Regulations concerning retirement pensions.
