(Case C-569/17)
(2017/C 392/22)
Language of the case: Spanish

Parties


Applicant: European Commission (represented by: T. Scharf, G. von Rintelen and I. Galindo Martín, acting as Agents)

Defendant: Kingdom of Spain

Form of order sought

The applicant claims that the Court should:






—


declare that by failing to adopt before 21 March 2016 the laws, regulations and administrative provisions necessary to comply with Directive 2014/17/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council of 4 February 2014 on credit agreements for consumers relating to residential immovable property and amending Directives 2008/48/EC and 2013/36/EU and Regulation (EU) No 1093/2010 (1) or, in any event, by failing to notify the Commission of those provisions, the Kingdom of Spain has failed to fulfil its obligations under Article 42(1) of Directive 2014/17/EU;










—


order the Kingdom of Spain, in accordance with Article 260(3) TFEU, to pay a daily penalty payment of EUR 105 991,60, with effect from the date of delivery of the judgment establishing its failure to fulfil its obligation to adopt or, in any event, to notify the Commission of the provisions necessary to comply with Directive 2014/17/EU;










—


order the Kingdom of Spain to pay the costs of the proceedings.





Pleas in law and main arguments







1.


The Member States were required, under Article 42(2) of Directive 2014/17/EU, to adopt the national measures necessary to transpose the obligations under Directive 2014/17/EU by 21 March 2016. As the Kingdom of Spain has not given notification of the transposition of the directive, the Commission decided to refer the matter to the Court of Justice.










2.


In its application, the Commission proposes that the Court of Justice impose a daily penalty payment of EUR 105 991,60 on the Kingdom of Spain. The amount of that penalty payment having been calculated taking into account the gravity and duration of the infringement and the deterrent effect based on that Member State’s ability to pay.

New national side of euro coins intended for circulation
(2017/C 320/04)



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
: Luxembourg


Subject of commemoration
: The 200th anniversary of the Grand Duke Guillaume III


Description of the design
: The design shows on the left hand the effigy of His Royal Highness, the Grand-Duke Henri, looking to the left and on the right hand the effigy of HRH the Grand-Duke Guillaume III. At the top of the design is depicted the year-date ‘2017’. At the bottom appears the text ‘GRANDS-DUCS DE LUXEMBOURG’. The name ‘GUILLAUME III’ followed by the indication of the year of birth ‘*1817’ is depicted above the respective effigy.
The coin’s outer ring depicts the 12 stars of the European flag.

Questions referred







1








(a)


Should the first indent of Article 9(2)(c) of the Sixth Directive, (1) or Article 52(a) of the VAT Directive of 2006 (2) (version to 1 January 2010), respectively, be interpreted as also covering the provision, in return for payment, of live interactive erotic webcam sessions?










(b)


If question 1(a) is answered in the affirmative, should the phrase ‘the place where those services are physically carried out’ in Article 9(2)(c) of the Sixth Directive or ‘the place where the services are physically carried out’ in the introductory sentence of Article 52 of the VAT Directive of 2006, respectively, then be interpreted as meaning that the decisive factor is the place where the models perform in front of the webcamera or the place where the visitors view the images, or could even some other place be envisaged?














2.


Should the twelfth indent of Article 9(2)(e) of the Sixth Directive or Article 56(1)(k) of the VAT Directive of 2006 (version to 1 January 2010), read in conjunction with Article 11 of the VAT Regulation of 2005, (3) be interpreted as meaning that the provision, in return for payment, of live interactive erotic webcam sessions can be deemed to be an ‘electronically supplied service’?










3.


If both question 1(a) and question 2 are answered in the affirmative, and the designation of the place of the service according to the relevant provisions of the directives concerned results in a different outcome, how should the place of the service then be determined?
