(C/2025/676)







National side of the new commemorative 2-euro coin intended for circulation and issued by San Marino

Euro coins intended for circulation have legal tender status throughout the euro area. For the purpose of informing the public and all parties who handle the coins, the Commission publishes a description of the designs of all new coins (1). In accordance with the Council conclusions of 10 February 2009
          (2), euro-area Member States and countries that have concluded a monetary agreement with the European Union providing for the issuing of euro coins are allowed to issue commemorative euro coins intended for circulation, provided that certain conditions are met, particularly that only the 2-euro denomination is used. These coins have the same technical characteristics as other 2-euro coins, but their national face features a commemorative design that is highly symbolic in national or European terms.

Issuing country: San Marino

Subject of commemoration: 530th anniversary of the death of Ghirlandaio

Description of the design: In the centre is the Virgin in prayer, a detail of the painting ‘Adoration of the Shepherds’ by Domenico Ghirlandaio, kept in the Sassetti Chapel of Santa Trinità (Florence). On the left are the inscription ‘SAN MARINO’ and the letter ‘R’, the identifier of the Mint of Rome; on the right, the inscription ‘GHIRLANDAIO’ and the dates ‘1494’ and ‘2024’; at the bottom, the initials of the artist, Valerio de Seta (‘VdS’).
The coin’s outer ring depicts the 12 stars of the European flag.

Estimated number of coins to be issued: 56 000
      

Date of issue: September 2024


(1)  See OJ C 373, 28.12.2001, p. 1 for the national faces of all the coins issued in 2002.

(2)  See the conclusions of the Economic and Financial Affairs Council of 10 February 2009 and the Commission Recommendation of 19 December 2008 on common guidelines for the national sides and the issuance of euro coins intended for circulation (OJ L 9, 14.1.2009, p. 52).

Action brought on 28 January 2025 – Sumitomo Chemical Agro Europe v ECHA


(Case T-61/25)

(C/2025/1460)
Language of the case: English

Parties


Applicant: Sumitomo Chemical Agro Europe SAS (Saint-Didier-au-Mont-d’Or, France) (represented by: K. Van Maldegem and M. Grunchard, lawyers)

Defendant: European Chemicals Agency

Form of order sought

The applicant claims that the Court should:






—


declare the application admissible and well-founded;










—


annul the Decision of 26 November 2024 of the Board of Appeal of the European Chemicals Agency in Case A-010-2023 (‘the contested decision’);










—


order the defendant to pay the costs of the proceedings.





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 the unlawful interpretation and application of Article 54 of Regulation (EU) No 528/2012 of the European Parliament and of the Council concerning the making available on the market and use of biocidal products (1) by artificially narrowing its application to the limited scenarios and failing to consider other scenarios - such as of the applicant’s - which would also require a technical equivalence check.










2.


Second plea in law, alleging the failure to take sufficient account of the defendant’s ‘Recommendation for applicants on information requirements and assessment of applications for technical equivalence of active micro-organisms’.






(1)  Regulation (EU) No 528/2012 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 22 May 2012 concerning the making available on the market and use of biocidal products (OJ 2012 L 167, p. 1).
