New national side of euro coins intended for circulation
(2023/C 122/05)






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

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: Luxembourg

Subject of commemoration: The 25th anniversary of the membership of Grand Duke Henri to the International Olympic Committee

Description of the design: The design depicts the effigy of the Grand Duke Henri looking to the right and to the figure ‘25’. Several pictograms of Olympic disciplines are shown close to the effigy. Below the effigy, three intersecting circles are enriching the design. At the bottom right, the text ‘MEMBER VUM INTERNATIONALEN OLYMPESCHE KOMMITEE’ is depicted. The name of the country ‘LËTZEBUERG’ as well as the text ‘GROUSSHERZOG HENRI’ are represented at the left.
The coin’s outer ring depicts the 12 stars of the European flag.

Estimated number of coins to be issued: 500 000

Date of issue: February 2023

Language of the case: French

Parties


Appellant: NS (represented by: L. Levi, avocate)

Other party to the proceedings: European Parliament

Form of order sought

The appellant claims that the Court should:






—


declare the present appeal admissible and founded;










—


set aside the judgment of the General Court of 25 January 2023 in Case T-805/21;










—


consequently, grant the appellant the relief sought at first instance, and, therefore:






—


annul the decision of 21 January 2021 reassigning the appellant to the post of Adviser in the Directorate-General for the Presidency and, to the extent necessary, the decision of 8 March 2021 to recover the overpayment;










—


in so far as necessary, annul the decision of 16 September 2021 rejecting the appellant’s claim of 7 April 2021;










—


make good the appellant’s material and non-material damage;










—


order the respondent to pay in full the costs of both sets of proceedings.









Grounds of appeal and main arguments

In support of her appeal, the appellant relies on the following grounds;






1.


The judgment under appeal fails to have regard to the concept of law giving the opportunity to be heard, makes incorrect legal characterisations and distorts the documents before the Court. The General Court failed to have regard to its obligation to state reasons.










2.


The judgment under appeal fails to have regard to the obligation to state reasons.










3.


The judgment under appeal fails to comply with the duty to have regard for the welfare of officials.

Action brought on 4 April 2023 — Ben Ali v Council
(Case T-178/23)
(2023/C 205/40)
Language of the case: French

Parties


Applicant: Halima Bent Zine El Abidine Ben Haj Hamda Ben Ali (Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates) (represented by: É. Deprez, lawyer)

Defendant: Council of the European Union

Form of order sought

The applicant claims that the General Court should:






—


declare the applicant’s requests in the present application admissible;










—


annul the Annex to Council Decision 2011/72/CFSP of 31 January 2011 on restrictive measures to the extent that it concerns the applicant, in so far as that annex was extended by Council Decision 2023/159 of 23 January 2023 and its effects;










—


order the Council to pay the applicant the amount of EUR 20 000 to meet the costs of her defence;










—


order the Council to pay the costs.





Pleas in law and main arguments

In support of her action, the applicant relies on five pleas in law.






1.


First plea in law, alleging that the applicant was a minor at the time of the alleged facts relied upon in support of her inclusion on the sanctions list.










2.


Second plea in law, alleging manifest error of assessment on the part of the Council. The applicant submits in that regard that, before relying on a decision of an authority in a third State, the Council must verify whether that decision was adopted in compliance with the rights of the defence. According to the applicant, it is apparent from the judgment of the Court of Appeal of Tunis of 30 September 2021 that the applicant’s rights of defence were not respected by the court of first instance.










3.


Third plea in law, alleging infringement of the presumption of innocence, on the ground that no final conviction has been handed down against her.










4.


Fourth plea in law, alleging infringement of the freedom to conduct a business, on the ground that the contested measure may have substantial negative consequences for the applicant’s professional life.










5.


Fifth plea in law, alleging infringement of the right to engage in work, in so far as the contested decision places the applicant in a situation that prevents her from working.

Irrespective of the answers to questions 1 and 2:










3.


In determining whether a group is perceived as being different ‘by the surrounding society’ within the meaning of Article 10(1)(d) of Directive 2011/95/EU, must reference be made to the perspective of the actor of persecution or to that of society as a whole or of a substantial part of the society of a country or of part of the country?

Questions referred







1.


Is Article 3(4)(c) of Regulation (EU) No 251/2014 (1) to be interpreted as meaning that the term ‘alcohol’ also includes a drink which contains alcohol and is not a grapevine product within the meaning of Article 3(4)(a) of Regulation (EU) No 251/2014?

3.


If Question 1 is answered in the affirmative, is the first sentence of Article 3(1) of Regulation (EU) No 251/2014, read in conjunction with Annex I(1)(b)(ii) thereto, to be interpreted as meaning that the term ‘flavouring foodstuff’ includes an alcohol-containing drink within the meaning of Question 1?
