(Case C-616/19)

Language of the case: English

Referring court

Parties to the main proceedings


Applicants: M.S., M.W., G.S.

Defendant: Minister for Justice and Equality

Questions referred







1.


Does the reference to ‘the Member State concerned’ in art. 25(2)(d) and (e) of directive 2005/85 (1) mean (a) a first member state which has granted protection equivalent to asylum to an applicant for international protection or (b) a second member state to which a subsequent application for international protection is made or (c) either of those member states?










2.


Where a third country national has been granted international protection in the form of subsidiary protection in a first member state, and moves to the territory of a second member state, does the making of a further application for international protection in the second member state constitute an abuse of rights such that the second member state is permitted to adopt a measure providing that such a subsequent application is inadmissible?










3.


Is art. 25 of directive 2005/85 to be interpreted so as to preclude a member state which is not bound by directive 2011/95 (2) but is bound by regulation 604/2013 (3), from adopting legislation such as that at issue in the present case which deems inadmissible an application for asylum by a third country national who has previously been granted subsidiary protection by another member state?






(1)  Council Directive 2005/85/EC of 1 December 2005 on minimum standards on procedures in Member States for granting and withdrawing refugee status (OJ 2005, L 326, p. 13).

(2)  Directive 2011/95/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council of 13 December 2011 on standards for the qualification of third-country nationals or stateless persons as beneficiaries of international protection, for a uniform status for refugees or for persons eligible for subsidiary protection, and for the content of the protection granted (OJ 2011, L 337, p. 9).

(3)  Regulation (EU) No 604/2013 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 26 June 2013 establishing the criteria and mechanisms for determining the Member State responsible for examining an application for international protection lodged in one of the Member States by a third-country national or a stateless person (OJ 2013, L 180, p. 31).

Defendant: Regione Campania

Question referred

Does a provision of regional legislation, such as Article 1(121) of Law No 16 of the Campania Region of 7 August 2014 which awards directly to the [Automobile Club d’Italia], without a tender procedure, a contract for services relating to the management of the tax on vehicles of the Campania Region infringe [European Union] law and, in particular, the principle of free movement of services and the principle of opening up to competition as far as possible in the field of public service contracts?

Action brought on 16 August 2019 — DS and Others v Commission and EEAS
(Case T-573/19)
(2019/C 357/46)
Language of the case: French

Parties


Applicants: DS and 718 other applicants (represented by: S. Orlandi and T. Martin, lawyers)

Defendants: European Commission and European External Action Service

Form of order sought

The applicants claim that the Court should:






—


annul the decisions fixing the applicants’ number of days of paid annual leave for 2019;










—


in any event, order the Commission and the EEAS to pay the costs.





Pleas in law and main arguments

In support of the action, the applicants put forward a single plea in law, based on an objection of illegality directed against Article 6 of Annex X to the Staff Regulations of Officials of the European Union on the same grounds as those adopted by the Court in the judgment of 4 December 2018, Carreras Sequeros and Others v Commission, (T-518/16, EU:T:2018:873). According to the applicants, the defendant institutions refused to apply that judgment even though its effects are not suspended, which is akin to an unlawful suspension of operation of a judgment of the Court.

1.   
On 9 August 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:






—

Charlesbank and GTCR acquire within the meaning of Article 3(1)(b) and 3(4) of the Merger Regulation joint control of PPT.
The concentration is accomplished by way of purchase of shares.

The business activities of the undertakings concerned are:

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.
