Applicant: Passenger A

Defendant: Finnair Oyj

Questions referred







1.


Can an air carrier rely on extraordinary circumstances within the meaning of Article 5(3) of Regulation No 261/2004 (1) on the sole ground that the aircraft manufacturer discovered the existence of a hidden design defect detrimental to flight safety and affecting the entire aircraft type, even though that discovery was not made until after the flight was delayed and cancelled?










2.


If the first question is answered in the negative, and it falls to be examined whether the circumstances in question are the result of events which are inherent in the normal exercise of the activity of the air carrier concerned and are not beyond the actual control of that carrier on account of their nature or origin, is the case-law of the Court of Justice of the European Union on the premature failure of certain technical parts of an aircraft applicable in a case such as that here, in which, at the time when the flight was cancelled, neither the manufacturer nor the air carrier knew the nature of the defect in the new aircraft type at issue or how it could be rectified?

Judgment of the Court (Seventh Chamber) of 22 June 2023 (request for a preliminary ruling from the Rechtbank Noord-Holland — Netherlands) — PR Pet BV v Inspecteur van de Belastingdienst/Douane, kantoor Eindhoven
(Case C-24/22, (1) PR Pet)
(Reference for a preliminary ruling - Common Customs Tariff - Classification of goods - Combined Nomenclature - Heading 9403 - Articles consisting of a structure, intended for cats, referred to as ‘cat scratching posts’ - Goods consisting of a variety of materials - Implementing Regulations (EU) No 1229/2013 and (EU) No 350/2014)

Language of the case: Dutch

Referring court

Rechtbank Noord-Holland

Parties to the main proceedings


Applicant: PR Pet BV

Defendant: Inspecteur van de Belastingdienst/Douane, kantoor Eindhoven

Operative part of the judgment

The Combined Nomenclature set out in Annex I to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2658/87 of 23 July 1987 on the tariff and statistical nomenclature and on the Common Customs Tariff, as amended by Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2016/1821 of 6 October 2016,
must be interpreted as meaning that:
an article consisting in a structure, covered with different materials depending on the case, intended to give cats a place of their own which they can occupy, play in or scratch, referred to as a ‘cat scratching post’, does not fall under heading 9403 of that nomenclature. Such an article must be classified under the heading of that nomenclature corresponding to the material which, among those covering it, is present to the greatest degree, which it is for the referring court to determine. If those materials are present in equal proportions, that article should be classified under the heading which occurs last in numerical order among those which equally merit consideration.

Article 1(1) of Directive 2008/104/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 19 November 2008 on temporary agency work, read in conjunction with Article 3(1)(b) to (e) thereof,
must be interpreted as meaning that that directive does not apply to a situation in which, first, the duties performed by a worker are transferred definitively by his or her employer to a third-party undertaking and, second, that worker, whose employment relationship with that employer is maintained on account of the fact that that worker has exercised his or her right to object to the transfer of that employment relationship to that third-party undertaking, may be required, at the request of that employer, to perform, on a permanent basis, the work contractually due for that third-party undertaking and, in that context, be subject to the technical and organisational direction of the latter.
