Questions referred







1.


Must Articles 4(3) and 19(1) TEU, having regard to the principle of equivalence which arises from the case-law of the Court of Justice of the European Union, be interpreted as meaning that a judgment of the Court of Justice of the European Union concerning the interpretation of EU law given pursuant to Article 267(1) TFEU constitutes grounds for reopening civil proceedings which ended with a final judgment, if a provision of national law, such as Article 4011 of the Code of Civil Procedure, allows proceedings to be reopened in the event that a final judgment is given on the basis of a provision which has been held by a judgment of the Trybunał Konstytucyjny (Constitutional Court, Poland) to be incompatible with a higher-ranking law?










2.


Does the principle of interpretation of national law in conformity with EU law arising from Article 4(3) TEU and from the case-law of the Court of Justice of the European Union require a broad interpretation of a provision of national law, such as Article 2(2) of the Code of Civil Procedure, so as to include in the grounds for reopening proceedings set out therein a final default judgment in which the court, infringing the obligations arising from the judgment of the Court of Justice in Profi Credit (C-176/17), omitted to examine a contract between a consumer and a lender in terms of unfair contractual terms and limited itself to examining only the formal validity of the promissory note?

Appeal brought on 17 September 2021 by Irish Wind Farmers' Association Clg, Carrons Windfarm Ltd, Foyle Windfarm Ltd, Greenoge Windfarm Ltd against the judgment of the General Court (First Chamber) delivered on 7 July 2021 in Case T-680/19, Irish Wind Farmers' Association and Others v Commission
(Case C-578/21 P)
(2021/C 462/35)
Language of the case: English

Parties


Appellants: Irish Wind Farmers' Association Clg, Carrons Windfarm Ltd, Foyle Windfarm Ltd, Greenoge Windfarm Ltd (represented by: M. Segura Catalán, abogada, and M. Clayton, avocate)

Other party to the proceedings: European Commission

Form of order sought

The appellants claim that the Court should:






—


set aside the judgment under appeal;










—


order the Commission to pay the costs of the proceedings at first instance and the proceedings of appeal.





Pleas in law and main arguments

The appeal is based on two grounds.
By their first ground, the appellants consider that the General Court misinterpreted Article 108 TFEU and Article 4 of Regulation 2015/1589 (1) by holding that the assessment of the concerned aid measure did not require the Commission to open the formal investigation procedure given the absence of serious difficulties as regards its classification as state aid and its compatibility with the internal market.
The first ground is divided into six branches.
First branch: the General Court erred in law as regards the scope of the Commission’s duty to examine facts and points of law in case of unlawful aid.
Second branch: The General Court erred in law in setting a differentiated treatment of the information submitted by Member States and by complainants.
Third branch: The General Court erred in law in the assessment of the duration of the preliminary examination.
Fourth branch: The General Court erred in law in setting the burden of proof to be met by the complainants.
Fifth branch: The General Court erred in law in disregarding the relevance of the system in the United Kingdom for the case at hand.
Sixth branch: The General Court drew an erroneous conclusion from the technical nature of the method for assessing the NAV of fossil fuel electricity generation facilities.
By their second ground, the appellants consider that the General Court distorted the clear sense of evidence put forward by the applicants.

#SOTEU

In her 2020 State of the Union address, 
President von der Leyen announced the European 
Green Deal target of cutting emissions by at least 
55% by 2030.

   Since then, the EU has turned climate goals into 

legal obligations

   The Commission has proposed a comprehensive 
package of Green Deal legislation to get there

THE EUR OPE AN GR EEN DEA L 
LE GISLATI ON WI LL :

Put a price on pollution

Clean the energy we use

Make cars and planes greener 
and smarter

Support people to overcome energy 
poverty and transition to greener 
homes and cars

When it comes to climate change, 
Europe can do a lot. And it will 
support others. But it cannot do it 
alone. The UN COP 26 in Glasgow 
will be a moment of truth for the 
global community.

President von der Leyen announced on #SOTEU 
2021 that the EU will double its external funding 
for biodiversity.

AT CO P 26 IN NOVEMBER:

The Commission will pledge another 
EUR 4 BILLION for climate finance for the least 
developed and most vulnerable countries.

The EU will push global partners:

 to step up on climate finance 
  for commitments and plans to reduce emissions by 
2030 on the way to climate neutrality by 2050
