Referring court

Supremo Tribunal Administrativo

Parties to the main proceedings


Applicant: FAURÉCIA — Assentos de Automóvel, Lda

Defendant: Autoridade Tributária e Aduaneira

Question referred

Is the provision contained in Article 7(2) of the Código do Imposto do Selo (Stamp Duty Code) according to which short-term cash transactions between two entities resident in Portugal and those in which the borrower is resident in Portuguese territory (and the creditor is resident in the European Union) are exempt from stamp duty, but transactions where the borrower (debtor) is resident in a Member State of the European Union and the lender (creditor) resides in Portugal are not exempt, compatible with the principles of non-discrimination and the free movement of capital established in Articles 18 and 63 and Article 65(3) TFEU?

Action brought on 7 July 2023 — Klein v Commission
(Case T-394/23)
(2023/C 321/62)
Language of the case: German

Parties


Applicant: Christoph Klein (Großgmain, Austria) (represented by: H.-J. Ahlt, lawyer)

Defendant: European Commission

Form of order sought

The applicant claims that the Court should:






—


annul Commission Implementing Decision C(2023)2961 final of 28 April 2023, entitled ‘Commission Implementing Decision on a measure prohibiting the placing on the market of the medical device “Inhaler Broncho-Air”, manufactured by Primed Halberstadt Medizintechnik GmbH on behalf of Broncho-Air Medizintechnik AG’;










—


order the defendant to pay the costs of the proceedings.





Pleas in law and main arguments

The action is based on the following three pleas in law.






1.


First plea in law, alleging that the decision infringes essential procedural requirements, namely






—


those requirements relating to informing the Member States under Article 8(3) and (4) of Directive 93/42/EEC, (1) since no involvement of the Member States has ever taken place over the course of the 25-year duration of the safeguard clause procedure;










—


the obligation to state reasons under Article 296 TFEU.














2.


Second plea in law, alleging that the decision infringes the Treaties or rules of law relating to their application, namely






—


Article 41 of the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union, (2) since the decision infringes the right to be heard by disregarding the submissions made by the applicant in the safeguard clause procedure and, accordingly, is not well-founded;










—


the principle of proportionality, since the defendant did not carry out any assessment of the prohibition measure and disregarded the submissions made by the applicant in relation to its product. The applicant maintains that the measure is neither suitable nor necessary.














3.


Third plea in law, alleging misuse of powers since the defendant, by its decision, does not pursue any legitimate aim.
