Action brought on 15 December 2023 — AS and Others v EEAS

(C/2024/1110)
Language of the case: French

Parties


Applicants: AS and 28 other applicants (represented by: A. Tymen, lawyer)

Defendant: European External Action Service

Form of order sought

The applicants claim that the Court should:






—


annul the decision of 21 December 2022 of the Director-General for Resource Management of the EEAS, bearing reference ADMIN(2022)76, fixing the allowance for living conditions for 2023 for Jordan at 10 %;










—


annul the decision of 7 September 2023 of the Secretary-General of the EEAS, bearing reference Ares(2023)6075736, rejecting the applicants’ complaint;










—


order the defendant to pay all the costs.





Pleas in law and main arguments

In support of the action, the applicants rely on two pleas in law:






1.


First plea in law, alleging the unlawfulness of the procedure followed in the process for fixing the allowance for living conditions for the year 2023, infringements of the guidelines establishing the methodology to fix the living conditions allowances and the granting of rest leave and infringement of the duty to have regard for the welfare of officials.










2.


Second plea in law, alleging a manifest error of assessment, on the ground that the parameters ‘security’, ‘health and hospital environment’, ‘climate’, ‘degree of isolation’ and ‘other local living conditions’ were under-evaluated when awarding the score referred to in Article 1(2) of the aforementioned guidelines.

Questions referred







1.


Does a national provision that requires the grant of a single licence for the operation of the electricity market constitute an infringement of the freedom of establishment laid down in Article 49 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union or of the freedom to provide services laid down in Article 56 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union?










2.


Should Article 35 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union be interpreted as meaning that national legislation requiring national and European electricity producers to offer for sale all the electricity available to them on the platforms managed by the only operator designated for national electricity market trading services constitutes a measure having equivalent effect to a quantitative restriction on exports that cannot be justified on grounds of public security connected to the security of energy supply, in so far as such legislation is not proportionate to the objective pursued?










3.


Should Articles 102 and 106(1) of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, read in conjunction with Article 4(3) of the Treaty on European Union, be interpreted as meaning that national legislation which provides that, at the level of that Member State, one single licence may be granted for the purposes of carrying out intermediation services in respect of offers to sell and bids to buy electricity on the forward wholesale market, constitutes a restriction of competition for the purposes of those provisions?
