Questions referred







1.


Is Article 392 of [Council] Directive [2006/112/EC] of 28 November 2006 (1) [on the common system of value added tax] to be interpreted as reserving the application of the margin taxation scheme to transactions for the supply of immovable property the purchase of which has been subject to VAT, without the taxable person who subsequently resells the property having the right to deduct that tax, or does it permit that scheme to be applied to transactions for the supply of immovable property the purchase of which has not been subject to VAT, either because that purchase falls outside the scope of VAT or because it falls within the scope of VAT but is exempt from it?










2.


Is Article 392 of Directive [2006/112] to be interpreted as excluding the application of the margin taxation scheme to transactions for the supply of building land in the following two cases:






—


where that land, purchased as land that has not been built on, becomes building land in the time between it is purchased and resold by the taxable person;










—


where that land, in the time between it is purchased and resold by the taxable person, is developed, in the sense that it is divided into parcels or works are carried out in order to install services (roads, drinking water, electricity, gas, sewage, telecommunications)?

(2020/C 221/04)
Pursuant to Article 9(1)(a) of Council Regulation (EEC) No 2658/87 (1), the Explanatory Notes to the Combined Nomenclature of the European Union (2) are hereby amended as follows:






9505



Festive, carnival or other entertainment articles, including conjuring tricks and novelty jokes






On page 414


The following text is added after the existing text:


‘This heading also includes transparent balloons made of plastics combined/decorated with battery operated LED garlands. After filling the balloon with air, the end is tightened in a knot. Additional decorative elements can be added inside (such as feathers, confetti, etc.) or attached on the outside, for example, ribbons. The balloons can be equipped with a handle, which is attached to the base of the balloon, to hold them in the hand or a string linked to a weight to use them as a room decoration. They are made of more resistant material than simple balloons and are thus suitable for repetitive use. The balloons serve as entertainment articles or as decorative items in a room for various occasions such as weddings, birthdays, public or private events.
Simple balloons with LED lasting for a short period, for example 24 hours, with an inscription identifying an occasion, for example, “Merry Christmas” remain classified under this heading. However, simple balloons with LED lasting for a short period but without an inscription are excluded (classification as “other toys” under heading 9503).’

Example of the products covered by this heading:

Action brought on 6 July 2020 — KY v Court of Justice of the European Union
(Case T-433/20)
(2020/C 279/77)
Language of the case: French

Parties


Applicant: KY (represented by: J.-N. Louis, lawyer)

Defendant: Court of Justice of the European Union

Form of order sought

The applicant claims that the Court should:






—


annul the implied decision of 17 September 2019, confirmed by the express decision of 10 October 2019, rejecting the request for repayment of the part of the pension rights acquired by the applicant before her entry into service which was not credited on transfer to the EU pension scheme;










—


order the defendant to pay the costs.





Pleas in law and main arguments

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






1.


First plea in law, alleging breach of the duty of care. In that regard, the applicant submits that, in accordance with an EU institution’s duty of care, it is required to inform the official not only of the minimum subsistence figure rule and its effect on the calculation of the pension, but also of the possibility of postponing the transfer of his or her pension rights until the grant of his or her actual pension rights.










2.


Second plea in law, alleging unjust enrichment. The applicant submits that the refusal to repay the part of the national pension rights transferred to the EU scheme, which was not taken into account when calculating the pension rights, may lead to an unjustified appropriation and, therefore, an unjust enrichment for the European Union, and an unjust impoverishment of the official concerned.
