(2022/C 198/26)
Language of the case: German

Parties


Appellants: Fachverband Spielhallen eV, LM (represented by: A. Bartosch and R. Schmidt, Rechtsanwälte)

Other parties to the proceedings: European Commission, Federal Republic of Germany

Form of order sought

The appellants claims that the Court should:






—


set aside the order of the General Court of the European Union in Case T-510/20;










—


refer the case back to the General Court;










—


reserve the costs.





Pleas in law and main arguments

The appellants raise a single ground of appeal, alleging infringement of Article 107(1) TFEU.
The General Court dismissed the action in Case T-510/20 solely on the ground that the measure at issue was not capable of conferring an economic advantage for the purposes of Article 107(1) TFEU. However, according to established EU case-law on tax matters, the criteria of advantage and selectivity must always be examined together. A finding of selectivity invariably presupposes the definition of a normal tax system. Without the definition of such a normal tax system, it is therefore impossible to determine whether there was an economic advantage. However, the General Court failed to examine the normal tax system and was therefore not entitled to conclude that the measure at issue did not confer an economic advantage. As a result, the contested decision is vitiated by a serious error of law.

Questions referred

How is Article 16(1) of Directive 2008/118/ЕC (1) to be interpreted in so far as it provides that authorisation to open and operate a tax warehouse is subject to conditions that the authorities are entitled to lay down for the purpose of preventing any possible evasion or abuse; what content must those conditions have in order to achieve the objectives of preventing evasion or abuse?
How is the principle of non-discrimination for the purposes of recital 10 of Directive 2008/118/ЕC to be interpreted?
How are those provisions to be interpreted, and are they to be interpreted as precluding national legislation, such as that in Article 53(1)(3) of the ZADS, in conjunction with Article 47(1)(5) thereof, in so far as the latter provisions provide for the unconditional withdrawal of authorisation for the future, which takes place indefinitely and without any restriction as to time, in addition to a penalty already imposed for the same act?

Statement by the Commission
(2021/C 523/02)
The Commission takes note of the agreement of the co-legislators to introduce a minimum operational budget of EUR 8 million for the implementation of the European Year of Youth (2022), without prejudice to the possibility of complementary contributions from other relevant Union programmes and instruments in addition to this amount of EUR 8 million.
In addition, the Commission will carry out a mapping exercise throughout the Year and will regularly update it outlining the possible and actual contributions by EU programmes and instruments to the implementation of the European Year of Youth and reporting on the activities. The progress in the deployment of contributions by the Union programmes will be regularly presented to the European Parliament and the Council. These contributions should be considered as complementary and above the minimum operational budget of EUR 8 million.
