New national side of euro coins intended for circulation
(2020/C 301/10)




National side of the new commemorative 2-euro coin intended for circulation and issued by the Vatican City State

Euro coins intended for circulation have legal tender status throughout the euro area. For the purpose of informing the public and all parties who handle the coins, the Commission publishes a description of the designs of all new coins (1). In accordance with the Council conclusions of 10 February 2009 (2), euro-area Member States and countries that have concluded a monetary agreement with the European Union providing for the issuing of euro coins are allowed to issue commemorative euro coins intended for circulation, provided that certain conditions are met, particularly that only the 2-euro denomination is used. These coins have the same technical characteristics as other 2-euro coins, but their national face features a commemorative design that is highly symbolic in national or European terms.

Issuing country: The Vatican City State

Subject of commemoration: 500th Anniversary of the death of Raphael Sanzio

Description of the design: The design features a portrait of Raphael and two angels. At the right, in semi-circle, is the inscription ‘RAFFAELLO SANZIO’. Above the image of the two angels are the years ‘1520’ and ‘2020’ and underneath it is the name of the issuing country ‘CITTA’ DEL VATICANO’. At the bottom is the mintmark ‘R’ and the artist’s name ‘D. LONGO’.
The coin’s outer ring depicts the 12 stars of the European flag.

Euro coins intended for circulation have legal tender status throughout the euro area. For the purpose of informing the public and all parties who handle the coins, the Commission publishes a description of the designs of all new coins (1). In accordance with the Council conclusions of 10 February 2009 (2), euro-area Member States and countries that have concluded a monetary agreement with the European Union providing for the issuing of euro coins are authorised to issue commemorative euro coins intended for circulation, provided that certain conditions are met, particularly that only the 2-euro denomination is used.

Issuing country: The Republic of San Marino

Subject of commemoration: 250th anniversary of the death of Giambattista Tiepolo

Above is the inscription ‘TIEPOLO’ and the letter ‘R’ identifying the Mint of Rome; on the right are the dates 1770 and 2020 and the inscription ‘San Marino’.

Action brought on 11 September 2020 — Ryanair v Commission
(Case T-577/20)
(2020/C 399/56)
Language of the case: English

Parties


Applicant: Ryanair DAC (Swords, Ireland) (represented by: E. Vahida, F. Laprévote, V. Blanc, S. Rating and I. Metaxas-Maranghidis, lawyers)

Defendant: European Commission

Form of order sought

The applicant claims that the Court should:






—


annul the European Commission’s decision (EU) of 14 October 2019 on State aid SA.55394 (2019/N) — Germany — Rescue aid to Condor (1), and










—


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 that the aid falls outside the material scope of the European Commission’s Rescue and Restructuring Guidelines (2), because Condor’s difficulties are the result of an arbitrary allocation of costs within the Thomas Cook group.










2.


Second plea in law, alleging that the rescue aid does not satisfy the compatibility condition that the aid should contribute to an objective of genuine common interest. The European Commission committed manifest errors of assessment, both regarding the needs of German independent tour operators and travel agencies and the alleged absence of aircraft capacity for the repatriation of stranded passengers during the IATA winter season which is marked by seasonal overcapacity.










3.


Third plea in law, alleging that the European Commission failed to review the satisfaction of the one time last time condition for rescue aid by the Thomas Cook group.










4.


Fourth plea in law, alleging that the European Commission failed to initiate a formal investigation procedure despite serious difficulties and violated the applicant’s procedural rights.










5.


Fifth plea in law, alleging that the European Commission violated its duty to state reasons.

Second, the General Court applied a likewise erroneous standard of proof.
