New national side of euro coins intended for circulation
(2022/C 100/04)






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

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: France

Subject of commemoration: The 90th anniversary of President Jacques Chirac’s birth

Description of the design: President of the French Republic for two terms, Jacques Chirac was a major architect of the European construction. As such, he was President when the Euro was introduced in 2002, whose 20th anniversary we celebrate at the beginning of this year.
The design shows a solemn profile of President Jacques Chirac looking towards the future. He is surrounded by several symbols representing his actions: a euro symbol, as sign of his involvement in the introduction of the Euro and his European spirit, and a French flag represented in heraldic colours, itself embellished with the RF as a reference to his presidency. His dates and name are inserted in the Euro’s logo. The mintmarks as well as the year date fit into the design.
The coin’s outer ring depicts the 12 stars of the European flag.

Estimated number of coins to be issued: 9 000 000

Date of issue: January 2022


(1)  See OJ C 373, 28.12.2001, p. 1 for the national faces of all the coins issued in 2002.

1.


Do Articles 2(1)(a) and (c), 14(1), 24(1), 98(1), (2) and (3) of Council Directive 2006/112/EC of 28 November 2006 on the common system of value added tax (OJ L 347, 11 December 2006, p. 1; ‘the VAT Directive’), (1) read in conjunction with Article 6(1) and (2) of Council Implementing Regulation (EU) No 282/2011 of 15 March 2011 laying down implementing measures for Directive 2006/112/EC on the common system of value added tax (recast; OJ L 7, 23 March 2011, p. 1) (2) and with points 1 and 12a of Annex III to that directive, the fourth and seventh recitals in the preamble to the VAT Directive, the principle of sincere cooperation, the principle of fiscal neutrality, the principle of fiscal legality and the principle of legal certainty preclude national legislation, such as that applicable in the present case, which provides for a reduced rate of VAT of 5 % for food products including beverages containing milk, with reference to CN 2202, from excluding from that rate food products, including beverages containing milk, which are classified as food and beverage service activities on the basis of the Polish statistical classification (PKWiU 56), and applying to such goods (their supply or services) the reduced VAT rate of 8 % if the average consumer, when purchasing such goods or services, treats them as meeting the same need?










2.


Is an administrative practice which results in the application of two different reduced rates of VAT to goods with the same objective characteristics and properties depending on whether services consisting in the preparation and serving of such goods are involved, thus excluding such goods on subjective rather than objective grounds, consistent with the principles of fiscal neutrality and legal certainty?

(Case T-108/22)
(2022/C 191/39)
Language of the case: French

Parties


Applicants: Sopra Steria Benelux (Ixelles, Belgium) and Unisys Belgium (Machelen, Belgium) (represented by: L. Masson and G. Tilman, lawyers)

Defendant: European Commission

Form of order sought

The applicants claim that the Court should:






—


annul the decision taken by the European Commission in the context of a public contract published under reference TAXUD/2019/OP/0006, entitled ‘CCN-Evolution: Specification, development, maintenance and 3rd level support of TAXUD IT platforms — Lot A: Evolution services for the CNN/CSI Platform’ and communicated on 20 December 2021, by which the Commission confirms that it rejects the tender submitted by the consortium consisting of the applicants and that it awards the contract to a competing consortium;










—


order the Commission to pay all the costs of the proceedings.





Pleas in law and main arguments

In support of the action, the applicants rely on two pleas in law.






1.


First plea in law, alleging that the decision of 20 December 2021 is null and void. The applicants claim, in that regard, that the contested decision must be regarded as a decision which merely confirms an earlier decision previously annulled by the Court.










2.


Second plea in law, alleging a manifest error of assessment, infringement of the tender specifications, breach of the principles of good administration and, in particular, of the principle of patere legem quam ipse fecisti and of the duty of thoroughness. According to the applicants, the Commission infringed its own tender specifications by reasoning the tenderer’s price as normal on account of 60 % of the services carried out in Romania and Greece being subcontracted. Moreover, the Commission did not take into consideration the start of the performance of the contract by the tenderer, which contradicts the reasoning adopted in the confirmatory decision.
