Action brought on 16 April 2019 — European Commission v Republic of Slovenia
(Case C-316/19)

Language of the case: Slovenian

Parties


Applicant: European Commission (represented by: L. Flynn and B. Rous Demiri)

Defendant: Republic of Slovenia

Form of order sought







—


Pursuant to Article 258 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, the Commission asks the Court of Justice to declare that, by unilaterally seizing from the premises of the Bank of Slovenia documents connected to the performance of the ESCB’s and the Eurosystem’s tasks and by unfairly cooperating with the ECB on that subject, the Republic of Slovenia has failed to fulfil its obligations under Article 343 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, Article 39 of Protocol No 4 on the Statute of the European System of Central Banks and of the European Central Bank, Articles 2, 18 and 22 of Protocol No 7 on the Privileges and Immunities of the European Union and Article 4(3) of the Treaty on European Union.










—


The Commission also asks the Court to order the Republic of Slovenia to pay the costs.





Pleas in law and main arguments

The search and seizure at the premises of the Bank of Slovenia on 6 July 2016 undermined the privileges attaching to the archives of the Union, as provided for in Article 343 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, Article 39 of Protocol No 4 and Articles 2 and 22 of Protocol No 7, in conjunction with Article 18 of the latter protocol, and as provided for in Article 4(3) of the Treaty on European Union. The search and seizure were carried out unilaterally, without the ECB’s consent, and, on the assumption of a disagreement between the ECB and the Slovene bodies, without a decision of the Court of Justice of the European Union. Despite repeated warnings, the Slovene bodies responsible for the seizure did not attempt to separate documents forming part of the archives of the Union and did not constructively discuss the matter with the ECB.

(2019/C 140/06)
Imports of Melamine originating in the People’s Republic of China are subject to a definitive anti-dumping duty, imposed by Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2017/1171 (1).
One company located in the People’s Republic of China, TARIC (2) additional code A987, whose exports to the Union of melamine are subject to the minimum import price of EUR/tonne 1 153 informed the Commission that it had changed its name as set out below.
That company asked the Commission to confirm that the change of name does not affect the right of the company to benefit from the minimum import price applied to it under its previous name.
The Commission examined the information supplied and concluded that the change of name in no way affects the findings of Regulation (EU) 2017/1171.
Therefore, the references in Article 1(2) of Regulation (EU) 2017/1171 to:
