Operative part of the order







1.


The first paragraph of Article 19 of Council Directive 2006/112/EC of 28 November 2006 on the common system of value added tax
must be interpreted as meaning that it does not preclude a provision of national law which provides that the ‘transfer of a totality of assets or part thereof’ is not subject to value added tax, without making its applicability subject to a condition that the person to whom the goods are transferred is to be treated as the successor to the transferor.










2.


The first paragraph of Article 19 of Directive 2006/112
must be interpreted as meaning that the transfer of part of an undertaking, even though not all the tangible and intangible assets constituting it have been transferred to the acquirer, is covered by the concept of ‘transfer of a totality of assets or part thereof’, provided that the totality of the assets transferred is sufficient to enable that undertaking to continue an independent economic activity.

Questions referred







1.


Having regard to Article 288 [TFEU], Articles 14 and 52 of the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union, Articles 3, 7, 5, 11, 20, 34, 35 and 40 of Directive 2016/801 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 11 May 2016 on the conditions of entry and residence of third-country nationals for the purposes of research, studies, training, voluntary service, pupil exchange schemes or educational projects and au pairing (recast) (1) and recitals 2 and 60 thereof, and to the principles of legal certainty and transparency, must the Member State’s power under Article [20(2)(f)] of Directive [2016/801] to refuse an application for residence be expressly provided for in its legislation in order to be used by that State? If so, must the serious and objective grounds be specified in its legislation?










2.


Does the examination of an application for a visa for studies require the Member State to verify the foreign national’s wish and intention to study, even though Article 3 of Directive [2016/801] defines a student as one accepted by a higher education institution and though the grounds for refusal of the application set out in Article [20(2)(f) of that directive] are optional, not binding like those set out in Article [20(1)] of [that] directive?










3.


Do Article 47 of the Charter of Fundamental Rights, the principle of effectiveness and Article [34(5)] of Directive 2016/801 require that the remedy provided for in national law against a decision rejecting an application for admission to the territory for study purposes allow the court to substitute its own assessment for that of the administrative authority and to review the decision of that authority, or is it sufficient to have a review of legality which allows the court to censure any illegality, particularly a manifest error of assessment, by setting aside the administrative authority’s decision?

New national side of euro coins intended for circulation
(2023/C 14/04)






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

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: France

Subject of commemoration: Olympic Games 2024

Description of the design: One hundred years after the 1924 Olympic Games, France is once again hosting the Summer Games, which will take place in Paris in 2024, an event with international echo whose intensity gradually builds in the years leading up to the event.
On the occasion of the countdown to the Olympic Games, Monnaie de Paris wishes to celebrate the road to the Games. It therefore plans to issue each year 2022, 2023 and 2024 a commemorative two-euro coin with an original face celebrating the Games, through the heritage of France and Paris.
The design represents the genius, a national figure and icon of French numismatics. It is depicted practicing discus throwing in an ‘ancient’ way in reference to the Olympic Games of the Antique era. His silhouette blends with the one of the Arc de Triomphe, a key element of Parisian heritage. It forms a common axis with this emblematic monument of victory. In the background, an athletics track in which the emblem of Paris 2024 is inserted on the right side, is represented. The year date, the mention RF and the mintmarks are inserted under the arch and around the foot of the Arc.
The coin’s outer ring depicts the 12 stars of the European flag.

Estimated number of coins to be issued: 260 000

Date of issue: September 2022
