Action brought on 30 May 2023 — Hexal v Commission
(Case T-299/23)
(2023/C 261/54)
Language of the case: German

Parties


Applicant: Hexal AG (Holzkirchen, Germany) (represented by: A. Meier, lawyer)

Defendant: European Commission

Form of order sought

The applicant claims that the Court should:






—


annul the contested decision; and










—


order the European Commission to pay the costs of the proceedings.





Pleas in law and main arguments

The action, which is directed against Commission Implementing Decision [C(2023) 3067 final] of 2 May 2023 amending the marketing authorisation granted by Decision C(2014) 601 final for ‘Tecfidera — Dimethyl fumarate’, a medicinal product for human use, relies on two pleas in law.
By its first plea, the applicant submits that there has been a clear infringement of Article 14(11) of Regulation (EC) No 726/2004 (1) because the authorisation in respect of the new therapeutic indication of Tecfidera was not obtained during the first eight years after the granting of authorisation, but only at a later point in time.
By its second plea, the applicant submits that there has been a manifest error of assessment in the interpretation of the judgment of the European Court of Justice in joined cases C-438/21 P to C-440/21 P (2) and, as a result, the Commission has erred in law in concluding that Tecfidera does not belong to the global marketing authorisation of Fumaderm.

(Case C-340/23 P)
(2023/C 252/40)
Language of the case: French

Parties


Appellant: Association Trinationale de Protection Nucléaire (ATPN) (represented by: C. Lepage, avocate)

Other party to the proceedings: European Commission

Form of order sought

The appellant claims that the Court of Justice should:






—


declare the appeal admissible and well founded;










—


set aside in its entirety the order of 30 March 2023 delivered by the General Court in Case T-567/22;










—


grant the form of order sought before the General Court and, consequently, dealing with the substance of the case,










—


annul Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2022/1214 of 9 March 2022 amending Delegated Regulation (EU) 2021/2139 as regards economic activities in certain energy sectors and Delegated Regulation (EU) 2021/2178 as regards specific public disclosures for those economic activities;
and, in any event,










—


order the Commission to pay the costs.





Grounds of appeal and main arguments

In support of its appeal, the appellant relies on:






—


two grounds seeking to have the order set aside:






1.


The General Court erred in law in holding, in paragraphs 16 to 27 of the order under appeal, that the appellant did not have standing to bring an action in its own name, pursuant to the fourth paragraph of Article 263 TFEU;










2.


The General Court erred in law and made a manifest error of assessment in holding, in paragraphs 28 to 42 of the order under appeal, that the appellant did not have standing to bring an action on behalf of its members, pursuant to the fourth paragraph of Article 263 TFEU.














—


five grounds seeking annulment of the regulation:






1.


The procedure is unlawful in that it disregards the provisions of Regulation 2020/852 of 18 June 2020;










2.


The rules of taxonomy were breached;










3.


The provisions of Article 19 of Regulation 2020/852 of 18 June 2020 were disregarded and the objectives are insufficiently ambitious;










4.


The general principles of EU law and, more specifically, the precautionary principle provided for in Article 19 of Regulation 2020/852 were disregarded;










5.


Investments in nuclear energy and green investments are incompatible in terms of financial reporting.

Question referred

Must Article 8 of Directive 2008/48/EC of 28 April 2008 on credit agreements for consumers and repealing Council Directive 87/102/EEC (1) be interpreted as meaning that the obligation on the creditor to assess the creditworthiness of the consumer (borrower), as set out therein, is equivalent to the other obligations laid down in that directive (in particular the obligations to provide information set out in Articles 10 et seq.), and therefore the penalties referred to in Article 23 of the directive cannot be different, that is to say, cannot provide for different legal consequences for infringement of each of those obligations separately?
