On 8 January 2018, the Commission received notification of a proposed concentration pursuant to Article 4 of Council Regulation (EC) No 139/2004 (1).
This notification concerns the following undertakings:

Parties to the main proceedings

Massimo Gambino, Shpetim Hyka

Question referred

Must Articles 16, 18 and 20(b) of Directive 2012/29/EU (1) be interpreted as precluding the victim of a crime from having to give evidence again before the court sitting in a new composition when one of the parties to the proceedings, in accordance with Articles 511(2) and 525(2) of the Code of Criminal Procedure (as consistently interpreted by the case-law of the Supreme Court of Cassation), does not consent to that court reading the written record of the oral evidence previously given by that victim, in accordance with the audi alteram partem rule, before a different bench in the same proceedings?

Action brought on 19 January 2018 — Planet v Commission
(Case T-29/18)
(2018/C 112/46)
Language of the case: Greek

Parties


Applicant: Planet AE Anonimi Etairia Parokhis Simvouleftikon Ipiresion (Athens, Greece) (represented by: V. Christianos, lawyer)

Defendant: European Commission

Form of order sought

The applicant claims that the General Court should:






—


annul the refusal decision of the Commission, whereby the Commission implicitly rejected the applicant’s request for access to the documents relating to the tendering procedure for the EuropeAid/137681/ΙΗ/SER/ROC/4 project; and










—


order the Commission to pay all the applicant’s costs.





Pleas in law and main arguments

By means of this action, Planet seeks the annulment of the Commission’s implicit decision whereby it denied Planet access to documents, under Regulation No 1049/2001, in connection with the EuropeAid/137681/ΙΗ/SER/ROC/4 tendering procedure.
Planet maintains that the Commission’s implicit refusal should be annulled, since no reasons have been stated, which is mandatory under Article 296 TFEU in terms of EU law and which constitutes an essential procedural requirement for EU acts.
