Operative part of the order

Article 21 TFEU must be interpreted as precluding the legislation of a Member State under which the removal by a parent of a child from the carer who is entitled to determine the place of that child’s residence, with the aim of taking the child abroad, attracts criminal penalties even in the absence of force, threat of serious harm or deception, whereas where such removal takes place in the territory of the first Member State, the same act is punishable only if recourse is had to force, threat of serious harm or deception.

Action brought on 16 May 2022 — European Commission v Republic of Slovenia
(Case C-328/22)
(2022/C 257/37)
Language of the case: Slovenian

Parties


Applicant: European Commission (represented by: B. Rous Demiri, E. Sanfrutos Cano)

Defendant: Republic of Slovenia

Form of order sought

The Commission claims that the Court should:






1.


declare that, by failing to ensure establishment of appropriate collecting systems for urban waste water






—


under Article 4 of Council Directive 91/271/EEC, (1) for the agglomerations of Kočevje, Trbovlje, Loka and Ljubljana,










—


under Article 5 of Council Directive 91/271/EEC, for the agglomerations of Kočevje, Trbovlje and Loka, and

2.


order the Republic of Slovenia to pay the costs.





Pleas in law and main arguments

The present case concerns the implementation in Slovenia of Council Directive 91/271/EEC of 21 May 1991 concerning urban waste-water treatment. The case concerns a long and comprehensive procedure seeking to establish failure to fulfil obligations provided for in EU law, which has been ongoing since 2014 and during the course of which the Commission established various infringements.
The infringement concerns the non-compliance with the directive of the waste water of certain agglomerations and the inadequate monitoring of discharge from the urban waste-water treatment plants. The number of agglomerations which failed to comply varied during the course of the procedure, given that certain infringements were remedied during the period in question, but others remain and constitute the basis of the present action.

adopting the Council’s position on draft amending budget No 3 of the European Union for the financial year 2022
(2022/C 202/02)
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, and in particular Article 314 thereof, in conjunction with the Treaty establishing the European Atomic Energy Community, and in particular Article 106a thereof,
Having regard to Regulation (EU, Euratom) 2018/1046 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 18 July 2018 on the financial rules applicable to the general budget of the Union, amending Regulations (EU) No 1296/2013, (EU) No 1301/2013, (EU) No 1303/2013, (EU) No 1304/2013, (EU) No 1309/2013, (EU) No 1316/2013, (EU) No 223/2014, (EU) No 283/2014, and Decision No 541/2014/EU and repealing Regulation (EU, Euratom) No 966/2012 (1), and in particular Article 44 thereof,
Whereas:

It is therefore justified to provide for an exception to the eight-week period referred to in Article 4 of Protocol No 1 on the role of national Parliaments in the European Union, annexed to the Treaty on European Union, to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union and to the Treaty establishing the European Atomic Energy Community.
