Judgment of the Court (Third Chamber) of 26 September 2024 (request for a preliminary ruling from the Szegedi Törvényszék – Hungary) – VOLÁNBUSZ Zrt. v Bács-Kiskun Vármegyei Kormányhivatal


(Case C-164/23,
                (1)
VOLÁNBUSZ)

(Reference for a preliminary ruling - Road transport - Harmonisation of certain provisions of social legislation - Regulation (EC) No 561/2006 - Article 9(3) - Concept of ‘employer’s operational centre where the driver is normally based’ - Place where a driver takes charge of a vehicle falling within the scope of that regulation - Concept of ‘other work’ - Time spent by that driver driving a vehicle falling outside the scope of that regulation to travel to or from that operational centre)
(C/2024/6619)
Language of the case: Hungarian

Referring court

Szegedi Törvényszék

Parties to the main proceedings


Applicant: VOLÁNBUSZ Zrt.

Defendant: Bács-Kiskun Vármegyei Kormányhivatal

Operative part of the judgment

Article 9(3) of Regulation (EC) No 561/2006 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 15 March 2006 on the harmonisation of certain social legislation relating to road transport and amending Council Regulations (EEC) No 3821/85 and (EC) No 2135/98 and repealing Council Regulation (EEC) No 3820/85
must be interpreted as meaning that the concept of ‘employer’s operational centre where the driver is normally based’ set out in that provision designates a place, such as an external depot for vehicles falling within the scope of that regulation, from which the driver concerned usually carries out his or her shift and to which he or she returns at the end of that shift, in the normal exercise of his or her functions and without complying with specific instructions from his or her employer in that regard. Whether sanitary facilities or social or rest areas are present at such a place is irrelevant in that regard. However, the geographical proximity of the place of residence of that driver may be taken into account, without being decisive in itself.

Joint statement of the European Parliament, the Council and the Commission on the single data-mining and risk-scoring tool provided for in Article 36 of the Financial Regulation on the occasion of the adoption of Regulation 2024/2509
(C/2024/5767)

The European Parliament, the Council and the Commission (‘the three Institutions’) recognise the importance to enhance the protection of the Union’s financial interests as acknowledged in the Inter-institutional Agreement (‘IIA’) of 16 December 2020 and as set out in Article 325 TFEU.
The three Institutions agree that it is necessary to further develop the tool in accordance with IT security and data protection rules. With a view to reducing the administrative burden and avoiding disproportionate IT costs for the Member States and the other users, established approved systems in Member States will be taken into account.
The three Institutions commit to cooperate towards further development of the tool. The Commission confirms that it will continue to develop the tool in consultation with its users and to offer the Member States support to address any technical queries. The Member States will cooperate with the Commission in order to enable synergies necessary for interoperability with relevant IT systems and databases.
Following an assessment by the Commission establishing the readiness of the tool based on the criteria referred to in Article 36(6) of the Financial Regulation, the three Institutions, without prejudice to their respective competences, commit to examine and re-discuss the compulsory use of the tool during the post-2027 multiannual financial framework.

Action brought on 26 September 2024 – UF v Commission


(Case T-502/24)

(C/2024/6665)
Language of the case: French

Parties


Applicant: UF (represented by: S. Orlandi, lawyer)

Defendant: European Commission

Form of order sought

The applicant claims that the Court should:






—


annul the decision of 26 June 2024 adopting measures implementing the annulment judgment of 8 May 2024 (UF v Commission, T-24/23, EU:T:2024:293);










—


order the European Commission to pay the applicant a sum set ex aequo et bono for the non-material damage caused and 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 infringement of Article 266 TFEU, on the ground that the Commission, having failed to reinstate the applicant, did not comply with its obligation to take the measures necessary to implement the judgment of 8 May 2024, UF v Commission (T-24/23, EU:T:2024:293).










2.


Second plea in law, alleging infringement of the fundamental right to engage in work laid down in Article 15 of the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union. The applicant claims that the continued suspension of his employment deprives him of his right to engage in work.










3.


Third plea in law, alleging failure to observe the principle of proportionality and failure to comply with the obligation to state reasons, on the ground that the Commission did not adequately justify pursuing an investigation, which appears to be an attempt to avoid the reinstatement of the applicant.










4.


Fourth plea in law, alleging misuse of powers or abuse of process. According to the applicant, the measures adopted demonstrate the hidden intention of avoiding his reinstatement, despite the absence of facts justifying that decision.

Operative part of the order
