Action brought on 12 February 2019 — Apostolopoulou and Apostolopoulou-Chrysanthaki v Commission
(Case T-81/19)
(2019/C 112/60)
Language of the case: Greek

Parties


Applicants: Zoe Apostolopoulou and Anastasia Apostolopoulou-Chrysanthaki (Athens, Greece) (represented by: D. Gouskos, lawyer)

Defendant: European Commission

Form of order sought

The applicants claim that the General Court should:






—


join for judgment their present action with their related action of 25 October 2018, registered as Case Τ–721/18;










—


uphold the action and order the defendants, jointly and severally, to pay to each of the applicants the total sum of one million one hundred thousand euros, as fianancial compensation for the non-material damage suffered by the applicants because of the attack on their character, as that sum is broken down in their pleadings;










—


order the defendants to refrain in future from any attack on the character of the applicants;










—


order the first named defendant to restore the honour and reputation of the applicants by means of its declaration;










—


order the defendants to pay the general costs.





Pleas in law and main arguments

This action has been brought against the European Commission and the European Union. Given that the latter is always represented before the General Court by the institution to which the contested act or conduct is attributed, the Commission is consequently called as the only defendant to this action.
In support of the action, the applicants rely on three pleas in law.






1.


The first plea in law is based on an infringement of the requirement of truth and equity in proceedings, infringement of the fundamental general principle of the fair administration of justice and infringement of the applicants’ right to a fair trial.










2.


The second plea in law is based on an infringement of the human dignity and the character of the applicants and an infringement of the principle of sound administration.










3.


The third plea is based on the infringement of the principles of legality, good faith and protection of legitimate expectations.

Referring court

Verwaltungsgericht Aachen

Parties to the main proceedings


Applicant: Marvin M.

Defendant: Kreis Heinsberg

Questions referred







1.


Is Article 2(1) of Directive 2006/126/EC (1) to be interpreted as meaning that a driving licence document, including, specifically, the driving authorisations documented therein, must be strictly recognised by the Member States also in the case where the issuing of that document is based on an exchange of driving licence documents pursuant to Article 11(1) of this directive?










2.


If Question 1 is to be answered in the affirmative: May a Member State refuse to recognise the exchanged driving licence document pursuant to the second subparagraph of Article 11(4) of Directive 2006/126 if the exchange by the issuing State was carried out at a time when the Member State from which the material entitlement to drive originates had already withdrawn that entitlement?










3.


If Question 2 is to be answered in the negative and an obligation of recognition does exist: May a Member State refuse to recognise the exchanged driving licence document in any event if the Member State in the territory of which the question of recognition of the driving licence document arises can establish, on the basis of ‘indisputable information’, that the material entitlement to drive no longer existed at the time when the driving licence document was exchanged?
