Referring court

Curtea de Apel Alba Iulia

Parties to the main proceedings


Appellant: FT

Respondents: Universitatea ‘Lucian Blaga’ Sibiu, GS and Others, and Ministerul Educației Naționale

Questions referred







1.


Are Article 1, Article 2(2)(b) and Article 3 of Directive 2000/78/EC (1) and Clause 4 of the framework agreement on fixed-term work concluded by ETUC, UNICE and CEEP, implemented by Council Directive 1999/70/EC of 28 June 1999, (2) to be interpreted as meaning that a measure, such as that at issue in the main proceedings, is discriminatory, within the meaning of those provisions, where it enables an employer to decide that individuals who have reached the age of 65 may continue to perform their duties as tenured members of staff and retain the rights which they enjoyed prior to retirement only if they have doctoral supervisor status, thereby placing at a disadvantage other individuals in a similar situation who may do the same only if there are vacant posts and they meet certain requirements relating to professional performance, and to require individuals who do not have doctoral supervisor status to perform similar academic duties under successive fixed-term employment contracts under which they receive remuneration on an ‘hourly basis’ at a level below that paid to tenured members of a university’s staff?










2.


Can the precedence in the application of EU law (the principle of the primacy of EU law) be interpreted as permitting a national court to disapply a final ruling of another national court in which it has been held that, in the factual situation described, Directive 2000/78/EC has been complied with and there has been no discrimination?

(Text with EEA relevance)
(2019/C 290/02)

1.   
On 20 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:






—


Cintra Infaestructuras España, S.L. (‘Cintra’, Spain), belonging to the Ferrovial group (‘Ferrovial’, Spain),










—


Meridiam S.A.S. (‘Meridiam’, France),










—


Autopista del Sol, Concesionaria Española, S.A. (‘AUSOL’, Spain).




Cintra and Meridiam, via Infratoll, acquire within the meaning of Article 3(1)(b) and 3(4) of the Merger Regulation joint control of AUSOL.
The concentration is accomplished by way of purchase of shares.


2.   
The business activities of the undertakings concerned are:
—   for Ferrovial: an international infrastructure operator active in the construction, toll roads, airports and services sectors. Ferrovial operates toll roads in Europe, Colombia, Australia, Canada and the United States. Cintra is Ferrovial’s subsidiary active in the toll motorway sector in Spain,
—   for Meridiam: an international investment group that focuses on the development, financing and management of essential infrastructure projects in Europe, Canada and the United States,
—   for AUSOL: manages two real toll motorways concessions connecting Malaga with Estepona and Estepona and Guardiaro.


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.
