—


order the European Parliament, in accordance with those new payment notices, to maintain the sums already paid to the applicant by way of AVPS entitlements and to pay the difference between the amount of the Payment Notice (and those issued up until judgment) and the amount which would have been applicable in accordance with the wording of Article 76 of the Implementing Measures prior to the 2023 Decision, together with statutory interest from the date on which that difference had to be paid until payment in full; and

Questions referred







1.


Must Article 14(1) of the Habitats Directive (1) be interpreted as requiring that favourable conservation status within the meaning of Article 1(i) be ensured in respect of a regional population of a species in a particular Member State where the measures referred to in that provision are adopted, or can the conservation status of the overall population in the territory of the Member States of the European Union be taken into account?










2.


If account can be taken of the conservation status of the overall population in the territory of the Member States of the European Union, must the Habitats Directive be interpreted as requiring formal cooperation between the Member States to which the range of the population extends in order to conserve that population, or is it sufficient for the Member State adopting the measures referred to in Article 14 of the Habitats Directive to assess the situation of the population of the species in the other Member States concerned or lay down the conditions for doing so in a national management plan?










3.


Can Article 1(i) of the Habitats Directive be interpreted as meaning that a regional population of a species classified in the ‘vulnerable’ (VU) category in accordance with the criteria of the IUCN Red List can have a favourable conservation status within the meaning of the Habitats Directive?










4.


Can Article 1(i) of the Habitats Directive, in conjunction with Article 2(3) thereof, be interpreted as meaning that, when assessing the favourable conservation status of a species, account can also be taken of economic, social and cultural requirements and regional and local particularities?

Applicants: YG, NI

Defendants: AXA Bank Europe SA, OTP Bank Nyrt., OTP Faktoring Követeléskezelő Zrt.

Questions referred

Is it consistent with the concept of ‘seller or supplier’ as defined in Article 2(c) of Council Directive 93/13/EEC (1) on unfair terms in consumer contracts to interpret that concept as meaning that:






(a)


it refers only to the original contracting party that introduced the unfair contract term; or










(b)


it should also be deemed to cover a new seller or supplier that has been subrogated to the contract by means of an assignment of the contract (by subjective novation) and that, although it did not introduce the unfair term, gains benefit from the financial and economic effects of the contract following subrogation to that contract; or










(c)


as a result of the subjective novation, only the current seller or supplier should be understood as such, irrespective of which party occupied the position of seller or supplier as the original contracting party?
