Parties


Applicant: Kingspan Group plc (Kingscourt, Ireland) (represented by: B. Meyring, I. Lunneryd and M.-V. Puskás, lawyers)

Defendant: European Commission

Form of order sought

The applicant claims that the Court should:






—


annul the Decision of the European Commission’s Hearing Officer for competition proceedings of 19 July 2024 in case M.10962 – Kingspan Group (Art. 14(1) proceedings) or, in the alternative;

—


order the Commission to bear the Applicant’s costs.





Pleas in law and main arguments

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






1.


First plea in law, alleging that the Contested Decisions of 19 July 2024 and 7 August 2024 breach the applicant’s right to good administration, in finding that the Commission is not under the obligation to keep a proper record of all its meetings and calls with Kingspan and / or with Kingspan’s external counsel if it wants to rely on these minutes in its investigation in case M.1092 – Kingspan Group (Art. 14(1) proceedings).










2.


Second plea in law, alleging that the Contested Decisions of 19 July 2024 and 7 August 2024 violate Kingspan’s right to access the Commission’s file, in finding that the Commission is not under the obligation to make available the minutes that were produced by its officials during the investigation in case M.9938 – Kingspan Group/Trimo.

Appeal brought on 27 September 2024 by the European Commission against the judgment of the General Court (Fifth Chamber) delivered on 17 July 2024 in Case T-761/21, Courtois and Others v Commission


(Case C-632/24 P)

(C/2024/6641)
Language of the case: French

Parties


Appellant: European Commission (represented by: A. Bouchagiar, M. Burón Pérez, G. Gattinara and A. Spina, acting as Agents)

Other parties to the proceedings: Fabien Courtois and the other applicants at first instance whose names are set out in the annex to the judgment under appeal

Form of order sought

The appellant claims that the Court should:






—


set aside the judgment of the General Court of 17 July 2024, Courtois and Others v Commission, T-761/21, EU:T:2024:477;










—


give final judgment on the action at first instance in Case T-761/21 and dismiss it;










—


order the applicants at first instance, now the respondents, to pay the costs.





Grounds of appeal and main arguments

The Commission puts forward the following grounds of appeal:






1.


The first ground of appeal alleges a distortion of the evidence in the assessment of the need for the transmission of the personal data in question (judgment under appeal, paragraphs 63 to 92).










2.


The second ground of appeal alleges an error of law in the interpretation of Article 9(1)(b) of Regulation (EU) 2018/1725, (1) read in conjunction with Article 4(1)(b) of Regulation (EC) No 1049/2001 (2) (judgment under appeal, paragraphs 52 to 92).










3.


The third ground of appeal concerns the merits of the reasoning for the refusal of full access to the contractual clauses on indemnification (judgment under appeal, paragraphs 154-174) and is divided into three parts: (a) an error of law in the interpretation of the second indent of Article 4(2) of Regulation 1049/2001; (b) a breach of the obligation to state reasons; (c) a distortion of the evidence.
