Parties to the main proceedings


Applicants: Sappi Austria Produktions-GmbH & Co. KG, Wasserverband ‘Region Gratkorn-Gratwein’

Defendant: Landeshauptmann von Steiermark

Operative part of the judgment

Article 2(2)(a), point 1 of Article 3 and Article 6(1) of Directive 2008/98/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 19 November 2008 on waste and repealing certain Directives must be interpreted as meaning that sewage sludge generated during the joint treatment of industrial and residential or municipal waste water in a sewage treatment plant, which is incinerated in a waste incineration plant for the purposes of energy recovery by generating steam, must be regarded as not being waste if the conditions in Article 6(1) of Directive 2008/98 are already met before its incineration. It is for the referring court to determine whether that is the case in the main proceedings.

Parties to the main proceedings


Applicant: JH

Defendant: KG

Operative part of the judgment

The first sentence of Article 5(5) of Directive 2008/104/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 19 November 2008 on temporary agency work must be interpreted as not precluding national legislation which does not limit the number of successive assignments that the same temporary agency worker may fulfil at the same user undertaking and does not make the lawfulness of the use of temporary agency work subject to the prerequisite that it must be justified by technical, production, organisation or replacement-related reasons. On the other hand, that provision must be interpreted as precluding a Member State from taking no measures at all to preserve the temporary nature of temporary agency work and as precluding national legislation which does not lay down any measure to prevent successive assignments of the same temporary agency worker to the same user undertaking in order to circumvent the provisions of Directive 2008/104 as a whole.

(2021/C 9/35)
Language of the case: French

Parties


Applicant: MW (represented by: M. Casado García-Hirschfeld, lawyer)

Defendant: European Parliament

Form of order sought

The applicant claims that the General Court should:






—


declare the present application admissible and well founded;
and, consequently,










—


annul the contested decision of 11 December 2019 by which the applicant’s temporary contract for an indefinite period was terminated and her activities were suspended;










—


order the payment of compensation in respect of the material damage suffered, which amounts to EUR 10 000, in addition to the amounts to be calculated for school fees and compensation in respect of the non-material damage, estimated in the amount of EUR 30 000;










—


order the defendant to pay all 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 infringement of Article 80 of the Conditions of Employment of Other Servants of the European Union leading to an error of assessment and misuse of powers. The applicant argues, inter alia, that the defendant failed to take into consideration all the factors which may affect its decision.










2.


Second plea in law, alleging a violation of the right to fair and just working conditions, misuse of powers and violation of the prohibition on any form of psychological harassment provided for in Articles 12 and 12a of the Staff Regulations of Officials of the European Union.

Operative part of the judgment

The principle of effectiveness, read in conjunction with the principle of sincere cooperation, must be interpreted as not precluding legislation of a Member State from setting a time limit of approximately one year running from the entry into force of that legislation, which aims to remedy the infringement of EU law, in which applications for the reimbursement of taxes held to be incompatible with EU law must be lodged, failing which such applications will be time-barred.
The principle of equivalence, read in conjunction with the principle of sincere cooperation, must be interpreted as precluding legislation of a Member State from setting a time limit of approximately one year in which applications for reimbursement of taxes held to be incompatible with EU law must be lodged, failing which such applications will be time-barred, while no such time limit has been laid down by that Member State in respect of similar applications for reimbursement based on an infringement of national law.

Prior notification of a concentration
(Case M.9861 — Unilabs/Medbase/JV)
Candidate case for simplified procedure
(Text with EEA relevance)
(2020/C 342/06)

1.   
On 6 October 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:






—


Unilabs Holding AB (“Unilabs”, Sweden),










—


Medbase AG (“Medbase”, Switzerland)




Unilabs and Medbase acquire within the meaning of Article 3(1)(b) and 3(4) of the Merger Regulation joint control of a newly created company constituting a joint venture (“the JV”).
The concentration is accomplished by way of purchase of shares.


2.   
The business activities of the undertakings concerned are:






—


for Unilabs: provision of bio-medical testing services, medical imaging services, reproductive medicine services and drug development services in a number of European countries,










—


for Medbase: provision of medical and therapeutic services exclusively in Switzerland,










—


the JV: provision of medical laboratory diagnostics services exclusively in Switzerland and predominantly in Eastern Switzerland.






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:
