Action brought on 16 May 2023 — WT v Commission
(Case T-282/23)
(2023/C 271/45)
Language of the case: Italian

Parties


Applicant: WT (represented by: M. Velardo, lawyer)

Defendant: European Commission

Form of order sought

The applicant claims that the Court should:






—


annul the decision rejecting the application for transfer of pension rights under Article 11(2) and (3) of Annex VIII to the Staff Regulations of Officials of the European Union and the Conditions of Employment of Other Servants of the European Union issued by the Office for the Administration and Payment of Individual Entitlements PMO/2 — Pensions on 4 August 2022 with reference ‘PMO 2, TFT IN, 2833610500, Pers. Nr: 336105’;










—


annul the decision of the AECC (Authority empowered to conclude contracts of employment) of 13 February 2023, notified the same day, with which the appeal (No R/496/22) brought pursuant to Article 90(2) of the Staff Regulations of Officials of the European Union and the Conditions of Employment of Other Servants of the European Union against the decision of 4 August 2022 was dismissed;










—


order the Commission to pay the costs.





Pleas in law and main arguments

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






1.


First plea in law, alleging infringement of Article 11(2) of Annex VIII of the Staff Regulations of Officials of the European Union in so far as the six-month time limit is provided for exclusively by implementing provisions and is not imposed by any provision in the Staff regulations. The applicant also raises a plea of illegality under Article 277 TFEU regarding the general implementing provisions inasmuch as they infringe higher-ranking legal provisions.










2.


Second plea in law, alleging an error of law in the interpretation of the concept of force majeur and of the financial provisions as well as a failure to observe the duty of care and the principle of proportionality. It cannot be denied that the Covid pandemic was both an anomalous and unpredictable event that had exogenous and disruptive effects on the management and planning of individuals’ daily activities including, in the case of the applicant, making an application for transfer of pension rights, which was done after the six-month time limit. Indeed it should be noted that in the present case both the objective and subjective elements which allow for force majeure to be invoked are present.

Language of the case: English

Parties


Applicant: Symrise AG (Holzminden, Germany) (represented by: T. Kuhn, M. Rust, T.-M. Wienke, L. Bär and J. Jourdan, lawyers)

Defendant: European Commission

Form of order sought

The applicant claims that the Court should:






—


annul the Commission’s decision C(2023) 1103 final of 10 February 2023 ordering an inspection at Symrise AG and all of its directly and indirectly controlled subsidiaries pursuant to article 20(4) of Council Regulation (EC) No. 1/2003 (1) (AT.40826 — Rose);










—


order the Commission to pay all costs of the proceedings.





Pleas in law and main arguments

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






1.


First plea in law, alleging a breach of the applicant’s fundamental rights of inviolability of private premises and privacy as guaranteed by Article 7 of the Charter of Fundamental Rights. The applicant submits that the Decision ordering the inspection at the applicant’s premises is (i) arbitrary because the Commission did not have sufficient indicia providing reasonable grounds for suspecting the applicant’s involvement in any competition law infringement, and (ii) constitutes a disproportionate interference with its fundamental rights of inviolability of private premises and privacy as it contains no limitation in time.










2.


Second plea in law, alleging a breach of Article 20(4) Regulation (EC) No 1/2003 and the Commission’s obligation to state reasons as set forth in Article 296(2) TFEU. The applicant submits that the Decision infringes the Commission’s obligation to specify clearly and precisely the subject matter of the inspection, in violation of Article 20(4) of Regulation (EC) No 1/2003 and the Commission’s duty to state reasons clearly in its decisions. More specifically, the wording of the Decision was such that it did not place the applicant in a position to understand the scope of the inspection, and thus exercise its rights of defence.
