Action brought on 26 April 2024 – Huhtamaki Holding v Commission


(Case T-225/24)

(C/2024/3783)
Language of the case: English

Parties


Applicant: Huhtamaki Holding Sàrl (Senningerberg, Luxembourg) (represented by: M. Struys, F. Pili, H. de Cazotte and L. Burgaud, lawyers)

Defendant: European Commission

Form of order sought

The applicant claims that the Court should:






—


annul Commission Decision C(2024) 1212 final of 19 February 2024, which refused the applicant’s confirmatory application of 31 August 2023 for access to documents under Regulation (EC) No 1049/2001 of the European Parliament and of the Council (1) (‘the contested decision’);










—


order the Commission to pay the costs of this procedure.





Pleas in law and main arguments

In support of the action, the applicant relies on three pleas in law.






1.


First plea in law, alleging that the Commission erred in law in considering that the general presumption of non-disclosure established by the case law is applicable with respect to the Requested documents.










2.


Second plea in law, alleging, in the alternative, that even in the event that the general presumption of non-disclosure would be applicable in the present case, it would be reversed. The applicant claims that:






—


the absence of any possible harm for the interests protected by Article 4(2), first and third indents, of Regulation 1049/2001 rebuts the application of the general presumption of non-disclosure (first limb of the second plea);










—


in the alternative, the application of the general presumption would, in any event, be reversed, since there are overriding reasons of public interest justifying disclosure of the requested documents (second limb of the second plea).














3.


Third plea in law, alleging, in addition to the first and second pleas, that the Commission violated the requirements to state reasons laid down in Article 296 TFEU and the applicant’s right to good administration provided for in Article 41 of the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union.






(1)  Regulation (EC) No 1049/2001 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 30 May 2001 regarding public access to European Parliament, Council and Commission documents (OJ 2001 L 145, p. 43).

—


order the Council to pay the costs.

Request for an Advisory Opinion from the EFTA Court by Verwaltungsgerichtshof des Fürstentums Liechtenstein received 26 April 2024 in the case of AA
(Case E-7/24)
(C/2024/6790)

A request has been made to the EFTA Court, dated 15 March 2024, from the Verwaltungsgerichtshof des Fürstentums Liechtenstein (the Administrative Court of the Principality of Liechtenstein), which was received at the Court Registry on 26 April 2024, for an Advisory Opinion in the case of AA on the following questions:

1.   

Must Article 1(1) of Directive (EU) 2015/849 of the European Parliament and of the Council (1) and point (c) of the first subparagraph of Article 30(5) of Directive (EU) 2015/849 in the original version be interpreted as meaning that an inspection of the register of beneficial owners by a private person whose only connection with money laundering, terrorist financing and associated predicate offences consists in the fact that their financial interests were harmed by a predicate offence is not necessary and thus not proportionate in order to combat money laundering, predicate offences to money laundering and terrorist financing?



2.   
If Question 1 is answered in the negative:
Must point (c) of the first subparagraph of Article 30(5) of Directive (EU) 2015/849 in the original version be interpreted as meaning that a private person whose only connection with money laundering, terrorist financing and associated predicate offences consists in the fact that their financial interests were harmed by a predicate offence does not have a legitimate interest in inspecting the register of beneficial owners?


3.   
If Question 2 is answered in the negative:
Must point (c) of the first subparagraph of Article 30(5) of Directive (EU) 2015/849 in the original version be interpreted as meaning that a substantiation of a legitimate interest is necessary but also sufficient?



(1)  Directive (EU) 2015/849 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 20 May 2015 on the prevention of the use of the financial system for the purposes of money laundering or terrorist financing, amending Regulation (EU) No 648/2012 of the European Parliament and of the Council, and repealing Directive 2005/60/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council and Commission Directive 2006/70/EC (OJ L 141, 5.6.2015, p. 73).
