Action brought on 14 June 2019 — Jalkh v Parlement
(Case T-360/19)
(2019/C 263/66)
Language of the case: French

Parties


Applicant: Jean-François Jalkh (Gretz-Armainvilliers, France) (represented by: F. Wagner, lawyer)

Defendant: European Parliament

Form of order sought

The applicant claims that the Court should:






—


annul the European Parliament’s legislative resolution of 16 April 2019 on the proposal for a regulation of the European Parliament and of the Council amending Regulation (EU, Euratom) No 883/2013 concerning investigations conducted by the European Anti-Fraud Office (OLAF)) as regards cooperation with the European Public Prosecutor’s Office and the effectiveness of OLAF investigations (COM(2018)0338 C8-0214/2018 2018J0170(COD);










—


order the European Parliament to pay all the costs.





Pleas in law and main arguments

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






1.


First plea in law, alleging infringement of Articles 7 and 8 of the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union, in so far as the contested resolution grants the European Anti-Fraud Office (OLAF) access to personal information, which is contrary to the right to the protection of private life and the right to the protection of personal data.










2.


Second plea in law, alleging infringement of Articles 8 and 9 of the Protocol (No 7) on the privileges and immunities of the European Union, in so far as the contested resolution allows OLAF to circumvent the parliamentary immunity of Members of Parliament.










3.


Third plea in law, alleging infringement of Article 5 of the European Parliament’s Rules of Procedure and Article 4 of the Statute for Members of the European Parliament. The applicant claims that the contested resolution allows OLAF to circumvent the parliamentary immunity of Members of Parliament and to access documents that are not documents of the European Parliament.










4.


Fourth plea in law, alleging infringement of Article 6 of the Convention for the Protection of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms, in so far as the contested resolution violates the rights of defence of Members of Parliament.

Prior notification of a concentration
(Case M.9391 — PGGM/Macquarie/MAGL)
Candidate case for simplified procedure
(Text with EEA relevance)
(2019/C 199/06)

1.   
On 5 June 2019, 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:






—


Stichting Depositary PGGM Infrastructure Funds (‘PGGM’, The Netherlands), belonging to the PGGM Group (The Netherlands),










—


Macquarie Group (‘Macquarie’, Australia),










—


Macquarie AirFrance Group Limited (‘MAGL’, United Kingdom).




PGGM and the Macquarie Group acquire within the meaning of Article 3(1)(b) and 3(4) of the Merger Regulation joint control of MAGL.
The concentration is accomplished by way of purchase of shares.


2.   
The business activities of the undertakings concerned are:
—   for PGGM group: manages pensions for different pension funds, the affiliated employers and their employees,
—   for Macquarie Group: a financial group that provides asset management and finance, banking, advisory and risk and capital solutions,
—   for MAGL: aircraft leasing worldwide.


3.   
On preliminary examination, the Commission finds that the notified transaction could fall within the scope of the Merger Regulation. However, the final decision on this point is reserved.
Pursuant to the Commission Notice on a simplified procedure for treatment of certain concentrations under the Council Regulation (EC) No 139/2004 (2) it should be noted that this case is a candidate for treatment under the procedure set out in the Notice.


4.   
The Commission invites interested third parties to submit their possible observations on the proposed operation to the Commission.
Observations must reach the Commission not later than 10 days following the date of this publication. The following reference should always be specified:

Parties to the main proceedings


Appellant: Östgötatrafiken AB

Respondent: Patent- och registreringsverket

Questions referred

The questions concern the application of Article 4(1)(b) of Directive 2015/2436 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 16 December 2015 to approximate the laws of the Member States relating to trade marks (1) and are as follows:






1.


Must Article 4(1)(b) of the Trade Marks Directive be interpreted as meaning that, in the case of an application for registration of a trade mark which characterises services and where the application relates to a sign, placed in a particular position, which covers large areas of the physical objects used to perform the services, it must be assessed whether the mark is not independent of the appearance of the objects concerned?










2.


If question I is answered in the affirmative, is it necessary for the trade mark to depart significantly from the norm or customs of the economic sector concerned in order for the mark to be regarded as having distinctive character?

Appeal brought on 14 June 2019 by Amador Rodriguez Prieto against the judgment of the General Court (Eighth Chamber) delivered on 4 April 2019 in Case T-61/18, Rodriguez Prieto v Commission
(Case C-457/19 P)
(2019/C 312/08)
Language of the case: French

Parties


Appellant: Amador Rodriguez Prieto (represented by: S. Orlandi, T. Martin, lawyers)

Other party to the proceedings: European Commission

Form of order sought

The appellant claims that the Court should:






—


set aside the judgment of the General Court of 4 April 2019 in Case T-61/18 in so far as it dismisses the claim for compensation in respect of the non-material damage suffered by the appellant;










—


order the Commission to compensate the appellant for the non-material damage suffered by paying him compensation fixed at a flat rate of EUR 100 000;










—


order the Commission to pay the costs.





Grounds of appeal and main arguments

The appellant claims that the judgment under appeal is vitiated by an error of law regarding the unlawfulness of the Commission’s conduct towards him during the criminal proceedings, particularly in the light of his status as the whistle-blower that gave rise to the ‘Eurostat case’.
