(Reference for a preliminary ruling - Social policy - Directive 97/81/EC - Framework Agreement on part-time work - Clause 4 - Principle of non-discrimination - Principle of pro rata temporis - Taking into account, for the purpose of calculating the remuneration of a full-time professional firefighter, the length of service for remuneration purposes which he has acquired as a volunteer firefighter, in accordance with the principle of pro rata temporis)

Cour du travail de Mons

Parties to the main proceedings


Applicant: Ville de Mons. Zone de secours Hainaut-Centre

Defendant: RM

Operative part of the judgment

Clause 4 of the Framework Agreement implemented by Council Directive 97/81/EC of 15 December 1997 concerning the Framework Agreement on part-time work concluded by UNICE, CEEP and the ETUC is to be interpreted as not precluding national legislation which, for the purposes of calculating the remuneration of professional firefighters employed on a full-time basis, accredits, in respect of the length of service for remuneration purposes, work performed previously on a part-time basis as a volunteer firefighter in line with the principle of pro rata temporis, that is to say, on the basis of the work actually performed.

Action brought on 7 July 2022 — Nordea Rahoitus Suomi v SRB
(Case T-432/22)
(2022/C 359/100)
Language of the case: English

Parties


Applicant: Nordea Rahoitus Suomi Oy (Helsinki, Finland) (represented by: H. Berger and M. Weber, lawyers)

Defendant: Single Resolution Board

Form of order sought

The applicant claims that the Court should:






—


annul the decision of the SRB of 11 April 2022, document no. SRB/ES/2022/18, including Annexes I, II and III, as far as it concerns the ex-ante contribution of the applicant; and










—


order the SRB 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 SRB has breached Article 69 of Regulation (EU) No 806/2014 of 15 July 2014 (1) and Articles 16, 17, 41 and 52 of the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union, by taking a dynamic approach to determine the target level for the ex-ante contributions.










2.


Second plea in law, alleging that the determination of the target level by the SRB in the contested decision suffers from manifest errors of assessment regarding the expected growth rate for covered deposits and the evaluation of the current business cycle.










3.


Third plea in law, alleging that the SRB has infringed Article 70(2) of Regulation (EU) No 806/2014 and Articles 16, 17 and 52 of the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union by not applying the binding 12,5 % cap to the target level when determining the annual target level.










4.


Fourth plea in law, alleging that Articles 69 and 70 of Regulation (EU) No 806/2014 are in breach of the principle of risk-oriented setting of the contributions and the principle of proportionality, thereby infringing Articles 16, 17 and 52 of the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union, if the target level is to be determined in a dynamic way and the cap according to Article 70(2) of that Regulation is not to be applied, as would be the case if the contested decision is upheld.

Action brought on 7 July 2022 — European Commission v Portuguese Republic
(Case C-449/22)
(2022/C 326/21)
Language of the case: Portuguese

Parties


Applicant: European Commission (represented by: P. Caro de Sousa, U. Małecka, L. Malferrari and E. Manhaeve, Agents)

Defendant: Portuguese Republic

Form of order sought

The European Commission claims that the Court should:






—


declare that the Portuguese Republic has failed to adopt the laws, regulations and administrative provisions necessary to comply with Directive (EU) 2018/1972 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 11 December 2018 establishing the European Electronic Communications Code (EECC), by 21 December 2020, or, in any event, has failed to communicate those rules to the Commission, thereby failing to fulfil its obligations under Article 124(1) of that directive;










—


order the Portuguese Republic to pay a fixed daily amount of EUR 5 181,3 from 22 December 2020 until the Portuguese Republic has fulfilled its obligation or the date of delivery of the judgment in terms of Article 260(3) TFEU, for an amount of at least EUR 1 286 000;










—


order the Portuguese Republic to pay a daily penalty payment of EUR 23 307,3 from the date of delivery of the judgment until the Portuguese Republic fulfils its obligation;










—


order the Portuguese Republic to pay the costs.





Pleas in law and main arguments

Directive (EU) 2018/1972 (1) of the European Parliament and of the Council of 11 December 2018 establishes the European Electronic Communications Code (‘the EECC’). That directive ought to have been transposed into the Portuguese legal order by 21 December 2020, and the Portuguese Republic ought to have communicated to the Commission the transposition measures adopted.
On 3 February 2021, the Commission sent a letter of formal notice to the Portuguese Republic and, subsequently, a reasoned opinion on 23 September 2021. The Portuguese Republic has still not adopted the laws, regulations and administrative provisions necessary to comply with Directive 2018/1972 or, in any event, informed the Commission of the adoption of those rules.
