Action brought on 21 July 2020 — Netherlands v Commission
(Case T-469/20)
(2020/C 348/31)
Language of the case: Dutch

Parties


Applicant: Kingdom of the Netherlands (represented by: M. Bulterman, J. Langer and M. de Ree, acting as Agents)

Defendant: European Commission

Form of order sought

The applicant claims that the General Court should:






—


annul Decision C(2020) final 2998 of the European Commission of 12 May 2020 on State aid SA.54537 (2020/NN) — Netherlands; Prohibition of coal for the production of electricity in the Netherlands;










—


order the European Commission to pay the costs.





Pleas in law and main arguments

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






1.


First plea in law, alleging misapplication of Article 107(1) TFEU in so far as the Commission assumes that Vattenfall has received an advantage.










2.


Second plea in law, alleging misapplication of Article 107(1) TFEU in so far as the Commission incorrectly allocates the burden of proof.










3.


Third plea in law, alleging infringement of the obligation to state reasons under Article 296 TFEU in so far as the Commission fails to justify why there are doubts as to a right to compensation and to determine the level of overcompensation which Vattenfall received, and in so far as the decision is inherently contradictory.










4.


Fourth plea in law, alleging infringement of Article 107(3) TFEU in so far as the Commission deemed the compensation to Vattenfall compatible with the internal market without having had the competence to do so.










5.


Fifth plea in law, alleging breach of the principle of legal certainty in so far as the Commission fails to determine whether the compensation to Vattenfall ought to be regarded as State aid within the meaning of Article 107(1) TFEU.

Prior notification of a concentration
(Case M.9885 – HAL Investments/De Drie Eiken)
Candidate case for simplified procedure
(Text with EEA relevance)
(2020/C 241/04)

1.   
On 10 July 2020, 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:






—


HAL Investments B.V. (‘HAL’, European investment subsidiary of HAL Holding N.V., Curaçao),










—


De Drie Eiken N.V. (holding company of the Van Wijnen group, Netherlands).




HAL acquires within the meaning of Article 3(1)(b) of the Merger Regulation control of the whole of De Drie Eiken/Van Wijnen group.
The concentration is accomplished by way of purchase of shares.


2.   
The business activities of the undertakings concerned are:






—


for HAL: investments in a variety of sectors, including the maritime sector, tank storage, media, financial services, retail, office furniture, timber and building supplies and decorative laminates,










—


for De Drie Eiken/Van Wijnen group: project development, construction of residential and non-residential buildings, renovation and area development, primarily in the Netherlands.






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


Applicant: DQ

Defendant: Ryanair Designated Activity Company

Question referred







1.


Does a trade union organised strike by an operating air carrier’s own staff constitute an ‘extraordinary circumstance’ within the meaning of Article 5(3) of Regulation (EC) No 261/2004? (1)











2.


Is it relevant whether the strike in question is proceeding on the basis of demands by the staff that have not thus far been contractually agreed by the staff and the operating air carrier?










3.


Is it relevant whether the specific strike was triggered by certain conduct of the operating air carrier during the negotiations with the trade union?
By order of the President of the Court of Justice of 7 August 2020, the case was removed from the register of the Court.
