Action brought on 16 January 2018 — European Commission v Republic of Bulgaria
(Case C-27/18)
(2018/C 083/24)
Language of the case: Bulgarian

Parties


Applicant: European Commission (represented by: J. Samnadda, Y. Marinova and G. von Rintelen, acting as Agents)

Defendant: Republic of Bulgaria

Form of order sought

The Commission claims that the Court should:






—


declare that, by failing to adopt, by 10 April 2016 at the latest, the laws, regulations and administrative provisions necessary to ensure compliance with Directive 2014/26/EU
 (1)
of the European Parliament and of the Council of 26 February 2014 on collective management of copyright and related rights and multi-territorial licensing of rights in musical works for online use in the internal market (OJ L 84, 20.3.2014, p. 72), or in any event, by failing to notify the Commission of such provisions, the Republic of Bulgaria has failed to fulfil its obligations under Article 43(1) of that directive;










—


order the Republic of Bulgaria, pursuant to Article 260(3) TFEU, to pay a penalty payment, in view of its failure to fulfil its obligation to notify the Commission of the measures transposing Directive 2014/26/EU, in the amount of EUR 19 121,60 per day, calculated as from the date of delivery of the judgment upholding the application;










—


order the Republic of Bulgaria to pay the costs relating to the proceedings.





Pleas in law and main arguments







1.


Under Article 43(1) of Directive 2014/26/EU, Member States were required to bring into force the laws, regulations and administrative provisions necessary to ensure compliance with the directive by 10 April 2016 and immediately to inform the Commission thereof. In view of the failure to notify the national measures transposing the directive, the Commission has decided to bring the matter before the Court of Justice.










2.


In its application the Commission proposes that the Republic of Bulgaria be ordered to pay a periodic penalty payment in the amount of EUR 19 121,60 per day. The amount of that periodic penalty payment has been calculated by taking into account the serious nature and duration of the infringement, and the deterrent effect, in the light of that Member State’s ability to pay.

New national side of euro coins intended for circulation
(2018/C 14/04)



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
: Spain


Subject of commemoration
: UNESCO's World Cultural and Natural Heritage Sites - Santiago


Description of the design
: The City of Santiago de Compostela was declared World Cultural Heritage by UNESCO in 1985, considering its urban beauty and monumental integrity added to the deep echoes of its spiritual and cultural significance of the Middle Ages: the Camino de Santiago Pilgrimage.
The Camino de Santiago (The Way of St. James) is a large network of ancient pilgrim routes stretching across Europe and coming together at the tomb of St. James in Santiago de Compostela in north-west Spain.
The design reproduces the sculpture of Santiago as a central figure in the canvas of the Puerta Santa of Santiago de Compostela Cathedral. On the left hand side, in semi-circle, is the word “ESPAÑA”, at the bottom left the year of issuance “2018” and underneath the mint mark.
The coin’s outer ring depicts the 12 stars of the European flag.

Action brought on 16 January 2018 — Hellenic Republic v Commission
(Case T-14/18)
(2018/C 112/42)
Language of the case: Greek

Parties


Applicant: Hellenic Republic (represented by: G. Kanellopoulos, E. Leftheriotou and Ε. Chroni, acting as Agents)

Defendant: European Commission

Form of order sought

The applicant claims that the General Court should:






—


Annul the contested decision in so far as it excludes from European Union financing expenditure incurred by the Hellenic Republic with respect to area aid for the year 2014 which corresponds to 5 % of the total costs incurred with respect to pasture-related aid, gross amount EUR 15 583 893,42 (net amount EUR 12 482 555,68)·










—


Order the defendant to pay the legal costs of the Hellenic Republic.





Pleas in law and main arguments

In support of the action, the applicant relies on two pleas in law.






1.


The first plea in law is based on the claim that as regards the imposition of the 5 % financial correction at issue with respect to pasture-related area aid, no reasons were stated, there was an error of fact, and the principle of proportionality was infringed.










2.


The second plea in law is based on a claimed infringement of Article 31(2) and (3) of Council Regulation (ΕC) No 1290/2005 of 21 June 2005, and of Article 52(2) and (3) of Regulation (ΕU) No 1306/2013 of 17 December 2013, read together with Articles 12(1) to (6) and 8 of Commission Delegated Regulation (ΕU) No 907/2014 of 6 August 2014, and also an infringement of the Commission Guidelines in documents VI/5330797 and C(2015)3675 final/8-6-2015. It is further claimed that it is not permissible to accumulate two corrections for the same reason and that the principle of proportionality was infringed.

To the right of the monument there is the map of Andorra with the Latin inscription ‘VIRTVS VNITA FORTIOR’ (virtue united is stronger) inside, which is the state motto of the Principality of Andorra. Surrounding the design there are the inscriptions ‘25è ANIVERSARI DE LA CONSTITUCIÓ 1993-2018’ (25th anniversary of the Constitution 1993-2018) and the name of the country ‘ANDORRA’.
