Action brought on 27 March 2025 – Rizza v Commission


(Case T-205/25)

(C/2025/3301)
Language of the case: English

Parties


Applicant: Giulio Cesare Rizza (Rome, Italy) (represented by: M. Siragusa and G. Lodigiani, lawyers)

Defendant: European Commission

Form of order sought

The applicant claims that the Court should:






—


annul Commission’s decision C(2025) 1119 final of 12 February 2025, refusing, pursuant to Article 8(1) of EU Regulation No 1049/2001 (1), to grant access to the blank form attached to the standard request for assistance under Article 22(1) of Regulation No 1/2003 (2) from a national competition authority to the national competition authority of another Member State (the ‘document’),










—


order the Commission to provide full access to the unredacted version of the document;










—


in the alternative, annul the decision and order the Commission to provide access to a redacted version of the document, in which only the number of weeks indicated at pages 5 and 6 (Periods I-III) are not disclosed; and










—


order the Commission to pay the applicant’s legal and other costs and expenses in relation to the present 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 that the decision violated Article 4(2), third indent, of Regulation No 1049/2001, by refusing full access to the document. Indeed, such disclosure would not, in any way undermine the purpose of inspections and investigations, contrary to what the Commission stated in its decision.










2.


Second plea in law, alleging that there is no need for the applicant to show the existence of an overriding public interest in disclosure: the decision erred in considering that – although the Commission failed to demonstrate, in the first place, that access to the document would specifically and actually seriously undermine the purpose of inspections and investigations – the applicant was obliged to indicate an overriding public interest that could justify the disclosure of the document.

(2)  Council Regulation (EC) No 1/2003 of 16 December 2002 on the implementation of the rules on competition laid down in Articles 81 and 82 of the Treaty (OJ 2003, L 1, p. 1).

Appeal brought on 27 March 2025 by the European Commission against the judgment of the General Court (Fourth Chamber, Extended Composition) delivered on 22 January 2025 in Case T-1093/23, AH v Commission


(Case C-236/25 P)

(C/2025/3864)
Language of the case: French

Parties


Appellant: European Commission (represented by: T. S. Bohr and L. Hohenecker, acting as Agents)

Other party to the proceedings: AH

Form of order sought

The appellant claims that the Court should:






—


set aside the judgment of the General Court in Case T-1093/23;










—


refer the case back to the General Court; and










—


reserve the costs of these proceedings.





Grounds of appeal and main arguments

In support of its appeal, the Commission relies on two grounds of appeal:






(1)


The first ground of appeal alleges an error of law in the interpretation of Article 4(1) of Annex VII to the Staff Regulations of Officials of the European Union (‘the Staff Regulations’; paragraphs 34 to 42, 44 to 48, 53 and 60 of the judgment under appeal).






(a)


By the first part, the Commission disputes the General Court’s analysis of existing case-law and the finding it drew from that analysis. The General Court incorrectly found that the appellant’s situation in the present case was not the same as that of the applicant in Quadri di Cardano v Commission (1).










(b)


By the second part, the Commission disputes the finding that there was continuity between the appellant’s contracts. The General Court incorrectly failed to attach any importance to the fact that the appellant had changed employers.














(2)


The second ground of appeal alleges a breach of the General Court’s obligation to state reasons for its judgments (paragraphs 34 and 38, 46 to 48, 53 and 60 of the judgment under appeal). The General Court has not given any valid reasons for not following the interpretation previously given by the Courts of the European Union to Article 4(1) of Annex VII to the Staff Regulations, other than referring to the allegedly different situation of the applicants in the cases on which the Court had already ruled, compared to the situation of the appellant in the present case.
