Notice to economic operators, importers and exporters
(2022/C 145 I/01)
The European Union has adopted several packages (1) against the Russian Federation concerning restrictive measures in view of Russian war of aggression against Ukraine , and the Republic of Belarus concerning restrictive measures in view of the situation in Belarus. All those measures must be implemented effectively, both by the competent authorities and by EU economic operators.
These measures ban the direct or indirect import or export of the concerned goods, and prohibit the participation, knowingly also intentionally, in activities to circumvent these prohibitions. They also establish that Member States shall apply sanctions to infringements of these regulations.
In view of the risk of circumvention, economic operators in the EU are advised to take adequate due diligence measures available in order to prevent circumvention of the measures






—


via exports to third countries from where such goods can be diverted easily towards Russia and Belarus; particular attention has to be paid to exports of such goods to countries of the Eurasian Economic Union (EAEU, composed in addition to the Federation of Russia and the Republic of Belarus of the Republics of Armenia and Kazakhstan and of the Kyrgyz Republic), as goods in any member of the EAEU are in free circulation throughout the EAEU










—


through imports from third countries from where the goods concerned can be diverted easily to the EU, in particular when such countries do not apply restrictions on imports from Russia and Belarus; this is in particular the case of goods imported from other EAEU countries.




Due diligence measures that exporters and importers are advised to take are, for instance the introduction in import and export contracts of provisions destined to ensure that any imported or exported goods are not covered by the restrictions. These may take the form of e.g. a statement that the respect of such provision is an essential element of the contract, or of contractual clauses committing the importer in third countries not to export the concerned goods to Russia or Belarus, and not to resell the concerned goods to any third party business partner that does not take a commitment not to export the concerned goods to Russia or Belarus giving rise to liability in case the latter re-exports the items to those countries.
Operators should take into account that, in order to prevent circumvention of these regulations, EU customs authorities may carry out more strict controls and may also request conclusive evidence that the concerned goods are not imported from or exported to Russia and Belarus via third countries.

Appellant: État belge

Respondent: Autorité de protection des données

Questions referred







1.


Must Article 4(7) of the General Data Protection Regulation (1) be interpreted as meaning that a Member State’s official gazette — vested with a public task of publishing and archiving official documents, which, under the applicable national legislation, is responsible for publishing official documents whose publication is ordered by third-party public bodies, as they stand when received from those bodies after the latter have themselves processed the personal data contained in those documents, without the national legislature having granted the official gazette any discretion over the content of the documents to be published or the purpose and means of publication — has the status of data controller?










2.


If the answer to Question 1 is in the affirmative, must Article 5(2) of the General Data Protection Regulation be interpreted as meaning that only the official gazette in question need comply with the data controller’s responsibilities under that provision, to the exclusion of the third-party public bodies which have previously processed the data contained in the official documents whose publication they are requesting, or are those responsibilities incumbent cumulatively on each of the successive controllers?

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

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: Slovenia

Subject of commemoration: The 150th anniversary of the birth of architect Jože Plečnik

Description of the design: The design shows a detail of the grand window of the National and University library’s reading room with a pillar in front of it. It is supplemented with a composition of letters A R H. P L E Č N I K. These letters are built into the window in exact order and can be metaphorically read as the architect’s signature, which is actually exhibited in his own work. The letters are inserted into deepened window openings and can be understood (in the language of architect Plečnik) as spatial architectural interventions, as emphases, inserted into façade or as geometrically designed objects. The whole composition displays an idea of space that reflects the wealth of the architect’s ideas. It is centred around the main pillar, which has a role to mark the coin’s space and set the ratio outside – inside or front – back, one of Plečnik’s common gestures when designing space. With that, the composition becomes a spatial miniature, space within space, multi-layered and mystical. At the bottom, the inscription “JOŽE PLEČNIK«. At the left, vertically, the year ‘1872’. At the right, vertically, the country of issuance ‘SLOVENIJA’ and underneath the year of issuance ‘2022’.
The coin’s outer ring depicts the 12 stars of the European flag.

(2022/C 237/49)
Language of the case: German

Referring court

Amtsgericht Düsseldorf

Parties to the main proceedings


Applicant: flightright GmbH

Defendant: Eurowings GmbH

Questions referred







1.


Is there always an extraordinary circumstance within the meaning of Article 5(3) of Regulation (EC) No 261/2004 (1) (the Air Passenger Rights Regulation) in the case where the flight cancellation or the delay equivalent to a cancellation is attributable to a change to the slot allocation made by the competent air traffic control authority?










2.


If the answer to Question 1 is in the negative, is it sufficient, for a finding that there is an extraordinary circumstance under Article 5(3) of the Air Passenger Rights Regulation, that the change of slot allocation was attributable to a weather-related reduction in flight capacity, but the weather situation did not bring air traffic as a whole largely to a standstill?






(1)  Regulation (EC) No 261/2004 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 11 February 2004 establishing common rules on compensation and assistance to passengers in the event of denied boarding and of cancellation or long delay of flights, and repealing Regulation (EEC) No 295/91 (OJ 2004 L 46, p. 1).
