Respondent: Azienda Agricola Camarzano di RK

Questions referred







1.


Must [Article 3 and Article 6(1) and (2)] of Regulation No 1408/2013, (1) read together, be interpreted as precluding a Member State from providing for the grant of de minimis State aid for agriculture and granting it, during the first three years following the setting up of the databases at national level and, in any event, until such time as those databases have been fully and completely maintained, in the absence of a specific declaration by the applicant undertaking as to the amount and nature of other State aid received during the three-year fiscal period concerned?










2.


In particular, during that period, does the issue of a self-certified declaration relating to any subsidies received in the previous three years constitute an essential precondition for the submission of the application for compensation and for there to be a right to receive State aid, or may such self-declaration lawfully take place only at the monitoring stage and, thus, after the State aid has been received?






(1)  Commission Regulation (EU) No 1408/2013 of 18 December 2013 on the application of Articles 107 and 108 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union to ‘de minimis’ aid in the agriculture sector (OJ 2013 L 352, p. 9).

Action brought on 20 September 2024 – Finnlines v Commission


(Case T-490/24)

(C/2024/6661)
Language of the case: English

Parties


Applicant: Finnlines Oyj (Helsinki, Finland) (represented by: F. Sciaudone and A. Neri, lawyers)

Defendant: European Commission

Form of order sought

The applicant claims that the Court should:






—


annul the European Commission’s decision C(2024) 3536 final of 29 May 2024 on State Aid SA.58825 (2024/N) – Finland – COVID-19: Damage compensation to passenger car ferry operators; and










—


order the European Commission to pay the costs.





Pleas in law and main arguments

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






1.


First plea in law, alleging breach of Article 12(1) of Regulation (EU) 2015/1589 of 13 July 2015, (1) of Article 41(1) of the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the EU, of the principle of sound administration, and of the rights of defence, insofar as the Commission has unduly delayed the preliminary examination of the State aid measure complained of, the duration of the procedure before the Commission was excessive, and the complainant could not exercise his rights during the formal investigation procedure.










2.


Second plea in law, alleging breach of the procedural rights arising under Article 108(2) TFEU, inasmuch as the Commission failed to initiate the formal investigation procedure, despite the serious difficulties encountered in the assessment of the measure.










3.


Third plea in law, alleging breach of Article 108(3) TFEU, inasmuch as the Commission failed to establish that the measure complained of constitutes unlawful aid and to order recovery thereof.










4.


Fourth plea in law, alleging breach of Article 107(2)(b) TFEU and manifest error of assessment of the facts, breach of the principles of proportionality and non-discrimination.






(1)  Regulation (EU) 2015/1589 of 13 July 2015 laying down detailed rules for the application of Article 108 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union (codification) (OJ 2015 L 248, p. 9).

Prior notification of a concentration
(Case M.11708 – SAGITTA / RDE GROUP)
Candidate case for simplified procedure
(Text with EEA relevance)
(C/2024/5680)


1.   
On 12 September 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:






—


Sagitta SGR S.p.A. (‘Sagitta’, Italy), controlled by TDR Capital LLP, (UK),










—


de Eccher Holding S.r.l. (‘RdE Group’, Italy).




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


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






—


Sagitta is an asset management company, operating in Italy in the set-up and management of Alternative Investment Funds reserved for professional investors. Sagitta is part of Arrow Global, an investor and asset manager, belonging to the private equity firm TDR Capital LLP,










—


RdE Group is mainly active in the construction sector worldwide, especially in the infrastructure, building construction, and industrial segments.






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.
