Order of the Court (Eighth Chamber) of 27 September 2022 (request for a preliminary ruling from the Landgericht Kleve — Germany) — AB and Others v Ryanair DAC
(Case C-307/21) (1)

(Reference for a preliminary ruling - Article 99 of the Rules of Procedure of the Court of Justice - Air transport - Regulation (EC) No 261/2004 - Common rules on compensation and assistance to passengers in the event of cancellation or long delay of flights - Article 5(1)(c) - Right to compensation if flight is cancelled - Contract for carriage concluded through an online travel agent - Information on the cancellation of the flight communicated by means of an email address automatically generated by the travel agent - Failure to ensure that the passenger was properly informed)
(2023/C 24/21)
Language of the case: German

Referring court

Landgericht Kleve

Parties to the main proceedings


Applicants: AB and Others

Defendant: Ryanair DAC

Operative part of the order

Article 5(1)(c) and Article 7 of Regulation (EC) No 261/2004 of the European Parliament and 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
must be interpreted as meaning that the operating air carrier must pay the compensation provided for by those provisions in the event of a flight cancellation of which the passenger was not informed at least two weeks prior to the scheduled time of departure where that carrier sent the information in good time to the only email address communicated to it in the course of the booking, without, however, being aware that that address could be used only to contact the travel agent, through which the reservation had been made, and not the passenger directly and that that travel agent did not send the information to the passenger in good time.

Action brought on 27 September 2022 by Eviny AS against the EFTA Surveillance Authority
(Case E-10/22)
(2022/C 437/04)
An action against the EFTA Surveillance Authority was brought before the EFTA Court on 27 September 2022 by Eviny AS, represented by advocates Svein Terje Tveit and Paul Gunnar Hagelund, Arntzen de Besche, Ruseløkkveien 30, 0251 Oslo, Norway.
Eviny AS requests the EFTA Court to:






1.


Annul Decision No 161/22/COL, of 6 July 2022, of the EFTA Surveillance Authority; and










2.


Order the EFTA Surveillance Authority to pay the costs of the proceedings.
Legal and factual background and pleas in law adduced in support:






—


Eviny AS (‘the applicant’) is a Norwegian renewable energy company, incorporated under Norwegian law, producing and distributing electrical power in Western Norway.










—


Decision No 161/22/COL (‘the contested decision’) was adopted following a complaint from NELFO, a Norwegian trade association, dated 11 May 2017, about state aid granted by the Municipality of Bergen.










—


The contested measures relate to overcompensation for payment of operation and maintenance costs and capital costs in relation to streetlight infrastructure in Bergen.










—


The applicant seeks the annulment of the contested decision and bases its application on the following pleas:






—


The EFTA Surveillance Authority committed a manifest error of assessment in its application of the notion of undertaking by concluding that streetlight ownership and operation is an economic activity;










—


The EFTA Surveillance Authority committed a manifest error of assessment by concluding that the applicant received an economic advantage through overcompensation;










—


There is no distortion of competition or effect on trade;










—


The alleged aid must be classified as existing aid not subject to recovery; and










—


The contested decision is based on an insufficient examination of the facts and fails to provide a proper reasoning in violation of Article 16 of the Agreement between the EFTA States on the Establishment of a Surveillance Authority and a Court of Justice.
