Defendant: Bayerische Motoren Werke AG

Operative part of the judgment

Article 7 of Directive 2003/88/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 4 November 2003 concerning certain aspects of the organisation of working time, read in the light of Article 31(2) of the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union, must be interpreted as precluding a rule of national law which provides that the right to paid annual leave acquired by a worker, by reason of his or her work in the context of a progressive retirement scheme, is to lapse at the end of the holiday year or at a later date, where the worker has been prevented from taking that leave before the work release phase due to illness, even where it is not a long-term absence.

Operative part of the judgment

Article 2(1) and (2)(a) and Article 6(1) of Council Directive 2000/78/EC of 27 November 2000 establishing a general framework for equal treatment in employment and occupation
must be interpreted as precluding, in the absence of an overriding reason in the public interest, national legislation which, in order to end discrimination on grounds of age, provides for the retirement pension scheme for a category of civil servants previously advantaged by the national legislation relating to retirement pension rights to be treated, with retroactive effect, in the same way as the retirement pension scheme for the category of civil servants previously disadvantaged by that legislation.

(2023/C 252/65)
Language of the case: English

Parties


Applicant: Arysta Lifescience (Noguères, France) (represented by: D. Abrahams, Z. Romata, H. Widemann and R. Spangenberg, lawyers)

Defendant: European Food Safety Authority (EFSA)

Form of order sought

The applicant claims that the Court should:






—


annul EFSA’s decision dated 17 February 2023 (Ref. PAD 2022/175) ‘Notification of full disclosure of the list of co-formulants present in the formulation for representative uses Captan 80 WG relating to the renewal of the approval of the active substance Captan’;










—


order EFSA to pay the costs of these proceedings.





Pleas in law and main arguments

In support of the action, the applicant relies on a single plea in law, divided into two limbs: that, by its decision of full disclosure of the list of co-formulants present in the formulation for representative uses, EFSA committed an error of law and a manifest error of assessment.






—


The applicant submits that the list of co-formulants that EFSA wishes to disclose — which relates to the representative product submitted for the active substance renewal dossier — pursuant to Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 21 October 2009 (1) is commercially sensitive and confidential information.










—


The applicant further submits that disclosure by EFSA would breach Article 4(2), first indent, of Regulation No 1049/2001 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 30 May 2001, (2) and Article 6(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1367/2006 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 6 September 2006. (3) It would also breach Article 63 of Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009.






(1)  Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 21 October 2009 concerning the placing of plant protection products on the market and repealing Council Directives 79/117/EEC and 91/414/EEC (OJ 2009 L 309, p. 1).

(2)  Regulation (EC) No 1049/2001 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 30 May 2001 regarding public access to European Parliament, Council and Commission documents (OJ 2001 L 145, p. 43).

Operative part of the judgment







1.


EU law does not require a national court to interpret, in accordance with Council Directive 2009/133/EC of 19 October 2009 on the common system of taxation applicable to mergers, divisions, partial divisions, transfers of assets and exchanges of shares concerning companies of different Member States and to the transfer of the registered office of an SE or SCE between Member States, a provision of national legislation applicable to a purely domestic merger of two undertakings, each having their registered office in the same Member State, as that operation does not come within the scope of that directive.










2.


The Court does not have jurisdiction to answer the questions referred regarding the interpretation of Directive 2009/133, as the facts of the dispute in the main proceedings do not come within its scope and, moreover, domestic law has not made it applicable to those facts directly and unconditionally.
