Referring court

Oberlandesgericht München

Parties to the main proceedings


Applicant: YH

Defendant: Widl GmbH

Questions referred:







1.


Must Article 3 of Directive 98/37/EC (1) of 22 June 1998, in conjunction with Annex I thereto, and in particular points 1.1.2., 1.2.1., 1.2.2., 1.2.4., 1.2.6., 1.2.7. and 2.3.(c) thereof, be interpreted as meaning that the emergency stop device on a circular saw complies with the safety requirements laid down therein if, after an emergency stop command has been triggered, re-actuating the emergency stop device – consciously or unconsciously – repeatedly or continuously, for at least 4 to 5 seconds, interrupts the braking action, with the result that the saw blade does not come to a stop, but runs down silently for approximately 11 minutes?










2.








(a)


Must Article 3 of Directive 98/37/EC of 22 June 1998, in conjunction with point 1.2.4 of Annex I thereto, be interpreted as meaning that unconscious or inadvertent (renewed) triggering of the emergency stop command during the braking period also constitutes an ‘operation’ within the meaning of that provision?










(b)


If 2(a) is to be answered in the affirmative, does such unconscious or inadvertent actuation constitute an ‘appropriate operation’ for disengaging the device within the meaning of Article 3 of Directive 98/37/EC of 22 June 1998, in conjunction with point 1.2.4. of Annex I thereto?














3.








(a)


Must Article 3 of Directive 98/37/EC of 22 June 1998, in conjunction with point 1.2.4 of Annex I thereto, be interpreted as meaning that only conscious and intentional (renewed) actuation of the emergency stop device constitutes an ‘operation’ within the meaning of that provision?










(b)


If 3(a) is to be answered in the affirmative, does such conscious and intentional actuation constitute an ‘appropriate operation’ for disengaging the device within the meaning of Article 3 of Directive 98/37/EC of 22 June 1998, in conjunction with point 1.2.4 of Annex I thereto?

Question referred

Should the rule requiring anonymity of candidates laid down in Article 82(4) of Directive 2014/24/EU, (1) in conjunction with the possibility of dialogue between the jury and the candidates in order to obtain clarification about the designs submitted, as provided for in Article 82(5) and (6), and with the reference in Article 80(1) of that directive to the provisions of Title I, be interpreted as precluding a prior hearing of the interested parties as a compulsory step in the procedure?

(C/2025/1221)
Language of the case: English

Parties


Applicant: European Commission (represented by: E. Montaguti, B.-R. Killmann and J. Tomkin, Agents)

Defendant: United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland

The applicant claims that the Court should:







—


declare that the United Kingdom has failed to fulfil its obligations under Articles 45 and 49 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union as well as under Articles 3(2)(a), 5, 6, 7(3)(b) and (c), 15(3), 23 and 35 of Directive 2004/38/EC (1) of the European Parliament and of the Council of 29 April 2004 on the right of citizens of the Union and their family members to move and reside freely within the territory of the Member States amending Regulation (EEC) No 1612/68 and repealing Directives 64/221/EEC, 68/360/EEC, 72/194/EEC, 73/148/EEC, 75/34/EEC, 75/35/EEC, 90/364/EEC, 90/365/EEC and 93/96/EEC.










—


order United Kingdom to pay the costs.





Pleas in law and main arguments

The Commission maintains that national rules which governed the conditions of entry and residence of mobile EU citizens, that were in force in the United Kingdom up to and during the transition period established by the Agreement on the withdrawal of the United Kingdom from the European Union and the European Atomic Energy Community (2), have had – and may continue to have – a negative impact on the rights of EU citizens and their family members.
The claims cover the conditions under which dependent family members of EU citizens may enjoy rights in the United Kingdom; the conditions under which formerly economically active mobile EU citizens are able to retain their status as workers or self-employed persons; and the approach to defining and sanctioning conduct as an abuse of rights.
