Action brought on 27 April 2021 — Ryanair v Commission
(Case T-225/21)
(2021/C 228/53)
Language of the case: English

Parties


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

Defendant: European Commission

Form of order sought

The applicant claims that the Court should:






—


annul the defendant’s decision of 4 September 2020 on State Aid SA.58114 (2020/N) — Italy — COVID-19 aid to Alitalia (1); and










—


order the defendant 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 the defendant misused its powers and misapplied Article 107(2)(b) TFEU by prioritising the review of the aid and freezing its investigations of unlawful rescue aid granted to Alitalia in 2017 and 2019.










2.


Second plea in law, alleging the defendant misapplied Article 107(2)(b) TFEU and committed manifest errors of assessment in its review of the proportionality of the aid to the damage caused by the COVID-19 crisis.










3.


Third plea in law, alleging the defendant violated specific provisions of the TFEU and the general principles of European law that have underpinned the liberalisation of air transport in the EU since the late 1980s (i.e., non-discrimination, the free provision of services — applied to air transport through Regulation 1008/2008 (2) — and free establishment).










4.


Fourth plea in law, alleging that the defendant 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 defendant violated its duty to state reasons.

Prior notification of a concentration
(Case M.10170 — Shell/NXK)
Candidate case for simplified procedure
(Text with EEA relevance)
(2021/C 149/05)

1.   
On 19 April 2021, 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:






—


Shell Overseas Investments B.V. (‘SOI’, the Netherlands), a subsidiary of Royal Dutch Shell plc (‘Shell’, United Kingdom),










—


Next Kraftwerke GmbH (‘NXK’, Germany).




Shell acquires within the meaning of Article 3(1)(b) of the Merger Regulation sole control of the whole of NXK.
The concentration is accomplished by way of purchase of shares.


2.   
The business activities of the undertakings concerned are:






—


for Shell: a global group of energy and petrochemical companies with businesses including oil and gas exploration, production, manufacturing, marketing and shipping of oil products and chemicals, and renewable energy products,










—


for NXK: an electricity aggregator and trader with subsidiaries in several European countries. It is specialised in the direct selling of electricity from renewable energy sources.






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.
