(Case C-864/24, Valora Effekten Handel)

(C/2025/1630)
Language of the case: German

Referring court

Bundesgerichtshof

Parties to the main proceedings


Applicants at first instance and appellants in the Revision (appeal on a point of law): GT, Beteiligungen im Baltikum AG, VCI Venture Capital und Immobilien AG

Defendant at first instance and respondent in the Revision (appeal on a point of law): Valora Effekten Handel AG

Question referred

Is sub-paragraph 4(iii) of Article 3(1a) of Directive 2004/109/EC (1) to be interpreted as precluding the second example of the first paragraph of Paragraph 34(2) of the Wertpapierhandelsgesetz (German Law on Securities Trading, ‘the WpHG’), according to which, in order to attribute voting rights, it is not necessary that the person subject to the reporting obligation and the third party have entered into an agreement on the exercise of voting rights, but rather it is sufficient for factual circumstances to reveal the existence of concerted action in another way?

Action brought on 13 December 2024 – Ryanair v Commission


(Case T-649/24)

(C/2025/1231)
Language of the case: English

Parties


Applicant: Ryanair DAC (Swords, Ireland) (represented by: F. -C. Laprévote, E. Vahida, D. Pérez de Lamo, S. Rating and C. Cozzani, lawyers)

Defendant: European Commission

Form of order sought

The applicant claims that the Court should:






—


annul the European Commission’s decision (EU) of 28 June 2024 C(2024) 4623 final on the State aid SA. 110687/SA.110688 – (2024/N) Sweden – Denmark, Restructuring of SAS Group (1); and










—


order the European Commission to pay the costs.





Pleas in law and main arguments

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






1.


First plea in law, alleging that the aid falls outside the material scope of the Guidelines on State aid for rescuing and restructuring non-financial undertakings in difficulty (‘R&R Guidelines’).










2.


Second plea in law, alleging that the Commission misapplied the R&R Guidelines, and committed a manifest error of assessment regarding demonstration of the risk of disruption of an important service and the systemic role of SAS.










3.


Third plea in law, alleging that the Decision does not establish that the restructuring plan is realistic, coherent and far-reaching, and that it is apt to restore SAS’ long-term viability within a reasonable period of time and without relying on further State aid.










4.


Fourth plea in law, alleging that the Decision does not establish the appropriateness of the aid.










5.


Fifth plea in law, alleging that the Decision does not establish the incentive effect of the aid.










6.


Sixth plea in law, alleging that the Decision does not establish the proportionality of the aid.










7.


Seventh plea in law, alleging that the Decision does not adequately review the negative effects of the aid.










8.


Eighth plea in law, alleging that the Commission should have initiated the formal investigation procedure.










9.


Ninth plea in law, alleging that the European Commission violated its duty to state reasons.
