(Case C-251/22 P)
(2022/C 213/47)
Language of the case: English

Parties


Appellants: Scania AB, Scania CV AB, Scania Deutschland GmbH (represented by: D. Arts, advocaat, F. Miotto, avocate, N. De Backer, advocate, C.E. Schillemans, advocaat, C. Langenius, S. Falkner, L. Ulrichs, P. Hammarskiöld, advokater)

Other party to the proceedings: European Commission

Form of order sought

The Appellants claim that the Court should:






—


set aside, in whole or in part, the judgment under the appeal;










—


annul, in whole or in part, Decision C(2017) 6467 final of 27 September 2017 relating to a proceeding under Article 101 TFEU and Article 53 EEA Agreement (Case AT.39824 — Trucks) and / or cancel or reduce the relevant fines;










—


or, refer the case back to the General Court for judgment, and










—


order the European Commission to pay the costs at first instance and for the present appeal.





Pleas in law and main arguments

In support of the appeal, the Appellants rely on the following four grounds of appeal:






1.


In their first ground of appeal, the Appellants submit that the General Court erred in law, by failing to acknowledge that the Commission, by adopting the Settlement Decision (1) and thereafter continuing its investigation against Scania by relying on the same case team, infringed Article (41)1 of the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union, as interpreted in the case-law of the Court of Justice.










2.


In their second ground of appeal, the Appellants submit that the General Court erred in law, by characterising the geographic scope of the German level conduct as extending to the whole of the EEA, whereas it was limited to Germany.










3.


In their third ground of appeal, the Appellants submit that the General Court erred in law, by characterising the series of acts at the three different levels as a single infringement.










4.


In subsidiary order, in their fourth ground of appeal, the Appellants submit that the General Court erred in law, by upholding a fine in relation to conduct that is time-barred.

(Case T-185/22)

Language of the case: English

Parties


Applicant: Ryanair DAC (Swords, Ireland) (represented by: E. Vahida, F.-C. Laprévote, V. Blanc, D. Pérez de Lamo and S. Rating, lawyers)

Defendant: European Commission

Form of order sought

The applicant claims that the Court should:






—


annul the European Commission’s decision (EU) of 22 December 2021 on State aid SA.100121 (2021/N) — Portugal — COVID-19: Damage compensation to TAP III; and










—


order the European Commission to pay the costs.





Pleas in law and main arguments

In support of the action, the applicant relies on four pleas in law.






1.


First plea in law, alleging that the Commission misapplied Article 107(2)(b) TFEU and committed a manifest error of assessment in its review of the proportionality of the aid to the damage caused by the COVID-19 pandemic.










2.


Second plea in law, alleging that the decision violates specific provisions of the TFEU and the general principles of EU Law that have underpinned the liberalisation of EU air transport since the late 1980s (i.e., non-discrimination, free provision of services and freedom of establishment).










3.


Third plea in law, alleging that the Commission failed to initiate a formal investigation despite the existence of ‘serious difficulties’ and violated the applicant’s procedural rights.










4.


Fourth plea in law, alleging that the Commission infringed its duty to state reasons pursuant to Article 296(2) TFEU.
