(Case C-45/24, Verein für Konsumenteninformation)

(C/2024/2730)
Language of the case: German

Referring court

Oberster Gerichtshof

Parties to the main proceedings


Appellant on a point of law: Verein für Konsumenteninformation

Respondent in the appeal on a point of law: Koninklijke Luchtvaart Maatschappij NV

Questions referred







1.


Is Regulation (EC) No 261/2004 (1) and in particular Article 8(1)(a) thereof to be interpreted as meaning that the price of the ticket to be taken into consideration for the purpose of determining the reimbursement owed by the air carrier to a passenger in the event of cancellation of a flight also includes the difference between the amount paid by the passenger and the amount received by the air carrier, which corresponds to a commission collected by a person acting as an intermediary between those two parties, if the air carrier, although aware that the other person regularly charges a commission (arrangement fee) for an intermediary service, does not know the amount of that commission in the specific case?










2.


Does the burden of proving that the air carrier had the necessary knowledge lie with the passenger seeking reimbursement, or is it for the air carrier to prove that it lacked the necessary knowledge of the commission?






(1)  Regulation (EC) No 261/2004 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 11 February 2004 establishing common rules on compensation and assistance to passengers in the event of denied boarding and of cancellation or long delay of flights, and repealing Regulation (EEC) No 295/91 (OJ 2004 L 46, p. 1).

Prior notification of a concentration
(Case M.11452 – DACHSER / FRIGOSCANDIA)
Candidate case for simplified procedure
(Text with EEA relevance)
(C/2024/1058)


1.   
On 17 January 2024, the Commission received notification of a proposed concentration pursuant to Article 4 of Council Regulation (EC) No 139/2004 (1).
This notification concerns the following undertakings:






—


Dachser SE (‘Dachser, Germany), ultimately controlled by Dachser Group SE & Co. KG (‘Dachser Group’, Germany),










—


Frigoscandia AB (‘Frigoscandia’, Sweden).




DACHSER will acquire within the meaning of Article 3(1)(b) of the Merger Regulation control of the whole of Frigoscandia.
The concentration is accomplished by way of purchase of shares.


2.   
The business activities of the undertakings concerned are the following:






—


Dachser is a logistics company. It consists of two main divisions: (i) Dachser road logistics and (ii) Dachser air & sea logistics. Dachser is ultimately controlled by Dachser Group, which acts as a holding company for Dachser and other operating entities.










—


Frigoscandia is a provider of temperature-controlled logistics active mainly in Sweden.






3.   
On preliminary examination, the Commission finds that the notified transaction could fall within the scope of the Merger Regulation. However, the final decision on this point is reserved.
Pursuant to the Commission Notice on a simplified treatment for certain concentrations under Council Regulation (EC) No 139/2004 on the control of concentrations between undertakings (2) it should be noted that this case is a candidate for treatment under the procedure set out in the Notice.


4.   
The Commission invites interested third parties to submit their possible observations on the proposed operation to the Commission.
Observations must reach the Commission not later than 10 days following the date of this publication. The following reference should always be specified:
