Operative part of the order

Article 6(1) and Article 7(1) of Council Directive 93/13/EEC of 5 April 1993 on unfair terms in consumer contracts
must be interpreted as precluding, in the context of the cancellation in its entirety of a mortgage credit agreement concluded with a consumer by a banking institution on the ground that that agreement contains an unfair term without which it cannot continue in existence, a judicial interpretation of national law according to which the legal effects arising from the finding of the invalidity of that contract in its entirety are subject to the condition precedent that that consumer presents before a national court a declaration by which he or she declares, first, that he or she does not consent to that term remaining effective, second, that he or she is aware of (i) the fact that the invalidity of that term entails the cancellation of the mortgage credit agreement and (ii) the consequences of that cancellation, and, third, that he or she consents to the cancellation of that agreement.

Questions referred

Must Articles 72 and 73 of Directive (EU) 2018/1972 (2) be interpreted as meaning that, when considering the question of ‘whether’ to impose an obligation to provide access to civil engineering assets that are not part of the relevant market in accordance with the market analysis, the national regulatory authorities
must examine solely whether the non–imposition of this obligation would hinder the emergence of a sustainable competitive market and would not be in the end-user’s interest,

or

may, when considering the imposition of an obligation to provide access to such assets, take into account not only the conditions mentioned above but also, on an equal footing as part of a ‘bundle of objectives’, the other objectives of Article 3 of Directive (EU) 2018/1972 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 11 December 2018 and, if applicable, further objectives.

Action brought on 3 May 2024 – European Commission v Kingdom of Spain


(Case C-331/24)

(C/2024/3905)
Language of the case: Spanish

Parties


Applicant: European Commission (represented by: N. Ruiz García and E. Sanfrutos Cano, acting as Agents)

Defendant: Kingdom of Spain

Form of order sought

The applicant claims that the Court should:






—


declare that the Kingdom of Spain has failed to fulfil its obligations under Article 13(7) and Article 15(1) of Directive 2000/60/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 23 October 2000 establishing a framework for Community action in the field of water policy, (1) as regards the river basin management plans for river basin districts ES122 Fuerteventura, ES123 Lanzarote and ES125 La Palma;










—


declare that the Kingdom of Spain has failed to fulfil its obligations under Article 14(3) and Article 15(1) of Directive 2007/60/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 23 October 2007 on the assessment and management of flood risks, (2) as regards the flood risk management plans for river basin districts ES122 Fuerteventura, ES123 Lanzarote and ES125 La Palma; and










—


order the Kingdom of Spain to pay the costs.





Pleas in law and main arguments

In the first place, the Commission claims that, since Spain has neither reviewed nor updated the river basin management plans for river basin districts ES122 Fuerteventura, ES123 Lanzarote and ES125 La Palma, even though the time limit for doing so expired on 22 December 2021, and therefore nor did it send those reviewed plans to the Commission by 22 March 2022, the Kingdom of Spain has failed to fulfil the obligations established in Articles 13(7) and 15(1) of Directive 2000/60/EC.
In the second place, the Commission claims that, since Spain has not reviewed and, if necessary, updated the flood risk management plans for river basin districts ES122 Fuerteventura, ES123 Lanzarote and ES125 La Palma, even though the time limit for doing so expired on 22 December 2021, and therefore nor did it send those plans to the Commission by 22 March 2022, the Kingdom of Spain has failed to fulfil the obligations established in Articles 14(3) and 15(1) of Directive 2007/60/EC.
