Questions referred







1.


Must Article 3(1) of Directive 93/13 (1) be interpreted as meaning that the ‘significant imbalance in the parties’ rights and obligations arising under the contract’ may also be said to exist where, during the performance of the contract, whether it is performed at regular intervals or continuously, performance by the consumer has become excessively burdensome in comparison with the time when the contract was concluded because of significant variations in the exchange rate, which none of the parties could have foreseen?










2.


Must the plainness and intelligibility of a contractual term, within the meaning of Article 4(2) of Directive 93/13, be understood to mean that the term must provide only for the grounds for its conclusion in the contract and its method of operation, or must it also provide for all the possible consequences of the term as a result of which the price to be paid by the consumer may vary, such as for example, foreign exchange risk?










3.


When interpreting Article 6(1) of Directive 93/13, may the expression ‘not be binding on the consumer’ be interpreted as meaning that, where there is a significant imbalance in the parties’ rights and obligations as a result of changes in the exchange rate, the national court may exempt the consumer from the obligation to bear the entire foreign exchange risk?

New national side of euro coins intended for circulation
(2017/C 206/08)



Euro coins intended for circulation have legal tender status throughout the euro area. For the purpose of informing the public and all parties who handle the coins, the Commission publishes a description of the designs of all new coins (1). In accordance with the Council conclusions of 10 February 2009 (2), euro-area Member States and countries that have concluded a monetary agreement with the European Union providing for the issuing of euro coins are allowed to issue commemorative euro coins intended for circulation, provided that certain conditions are met, particularly that only the 2-euro denomination is used. These coins have the same technical characteristics as other 2-euro coins, but their national face features a commemorative design that is highly symbolic in national or European terms.


Issuing country
: Estonia


Subject of commemoration
: Estonia's Independence


Description of the design
: The coin features the sinuous trunk of an oak tree where on one side there are depicted the branches and on the other side the leaves. The branches symbolize the time of revolutions and hardships from which the road to Estonia's Independence was paved. The leaves symbolize the strength, achievements and longevity of Estonia. At the bottom left side of the trunk there is the word ‘MAAPÄEV’ (Provisional Assembly of Estonia) and above that the year ‘1917’. At the bottom right side there is the name of the issuing country ‘EESTI’ and below that the year of issuance ‘2017’.
The coin’s outer ring depicts the 12 stars of the European flag.
