Parties to the main proceedings


Applicant: Virgilijus Valančius

Defendant: Lietuvos Respublikos vyriausybė

Questions referred







1.


Does Article 254 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, read in conjunction with Article 19(2) of the Treaty on European Union, which provides that the members of the General Court of the European Union are to be chosen from persons ‘whose independence is beyond doubt and who possess the ability required for appointment to high judicial office’, require that a candidate for appointment to the General Court of the European Union be selected in a Member State of the European Union exclusively on the basis of professional ability?










2.


Is a national practice, such as that at issue in the present case, whereby, in order to ensure the transparency of the selection of a particular candidate, the Government of a Member State responsible for proposing a candidate for appointment to the office of Judge of the General Court of the European Union establishes a group of independent experts to assess the candidates, which, after interviewing all the candidates, draws up a ranked list of the candidates on the basis of clear and objective selection criteria laid down in advance and, in accordance with the conditions announced in advance, puts forward to the Government the candidate who has been ranked the highest on the basis of his or her professional ability and competence, but the Government proposes for appointment as a Judge of the European Union a candidate other than the candidate in first place on the ranked list, compatible with the requirement that the independence of the judge be beyond doubt and with the other requirements for judicial office laid down in Article 254 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, read in conjunction with Article 19(2) of the Treaty on European Union, taking account of the fact that a judge who may have been appointed unlawfully might influence the decisions of the General Court of the European Union?

Appeal brought on 28 February 2023 by Swissgrid AG against the order of the General Court (Third Chamber) delivered on 21 December 2022 in Case T-127/21, Swissgrid v Commission
(Case C-121/23 P)
(2023/C 127/35)
Language of the case: English

Parties


Appellant: Swissgrid AG (represented by: P. De Baere, P. L'Ecluse, K. T'Syen and V. Lefever, avocats)

Other party to the proceedings: European Commission

Form of order sought

The appellant claim that the Court should:






—


set aside the order under appeal;










—


dismiss the Commission’s plea of inadmissibility and declare the action for annulment admissible, and refer the case back to the General Court for judgment on the merits of the action;










—


reserve judgment as to the costs.





Pleas in law and main arguments

In support of the appeal, the appellant relies on three pleas in law.
First plea: the General Court erred in law by applying an incorrect legal test for deciding whether the decision contained in a letter of 17 December 2020 signed by the Director of the Commission’s Directorate-General for Energy (‘the contested decision’) constitutes a challengeable act under Article 263 TFEU.
Second plea: the General Court erred in in law by asserting that Articles 1(6) and 1(7) of Commission Regulation (EU) 2017/2195 of 23 November 2017 establishing a guideline on electricity balancing (1) do not confer rights upon the appellant, which are capable of being affected by the contested decision.
Third plea: the order under appeal lacks an adequate statement of reasons to support the determinative finding that Article 1(7) of Commission Regulation (EU) 2017/2195 does not confer any rights on the appellant.
