Referring court

Satversmes tiesa

Parties to the main proceedings


Applicants: S, T, AS SEB banka

Institution responsible for the measure the constitutionality of which is called into question: Latvijas Republikas Saeima

Questions referred







1.


Must Article 127(4) of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union and Article 4 of Council Decision [98/415/EC] (1) be interpreted as meaning that the obligation which that provision imposes on the authority of a Member State to consult the European Central Bank at an appropriate stage is fulfilled in the case where the parliament of a Member State adopts a law before receiving the opinion of the European Central Bank but there is a procedure whereby that law may be the subject of a second examination in parliament before it is enacted and enters into force?










2.


If the first question is answered in the negative, is an infringement of Article 127(4) of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union and Article 4 of Council Decision [98/415/EC] to be regarded as constituting a substantial procedural defect rendering the provisions of national law adopted in breach of EU law inapplicable?










3.


If the second question is answered in the affirmative, are the principles of the primacy of EU law and legal certainty to be interpreted as meaning that the Satversmes tiesa (Constitutional Court, Latvia) may decide in the judgment it gives that the legal effects of the contested provisions must be maintained during the period for which they were in force?

(Case T-219/25)

(C/2025/2702)
Language of the case: English

Parties


Applicants: Terex (Changzhou) Machinery Co. Ltd (Changzhou, China), Terex Global GmbH (Schaffhausen, Switzerland) (represented by: L. Ruessmann and J. Beck, lawyers)

Defendant: European Commission

Form of order sought

The applicants claim that the Court should:






—


annul Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2025/45 of 8 January 2025 imposing a definitive anti-dumping duty and definitely collecting the provisional duty imposed on imports of mobile access equipment originating in the People’s Republic of China (1), insofar as it concerns the applicants and their related companies;










—


order the Commission to bear the costs of these proceedings.





Pleas in law and main arguments

In support of the action, the applicants rely on three pleas in law.






1.


First plea in law, alleging that the Contested Regulation reflects a manifest error of assessment and a violation of Articles 2(8), 2(9) and 2(10) of the Basic Regulation in its rejection of the claim that the applicants and their related companies operate as a single economic entity. The subsequent use of the understated export price established in this manner leads to dumping margin calculations that violate Articles 2(11), 7(2), 9(4) and 9(5) and injury margin calculations that violate Articles 3(2), 3(6), 7(2), 9(4) and 9(5) of the Basic Regulation.










2.


Second plea in law, alleging that the Commission violated Articles 2(9), 2(10), 3(2), 3(3), 3(6) 7(2), 9(4) and 9(5) of the Basic Regulation and did not conduct a fair price comparison in the injury margin calculations.










3.


Third plea in law, alleging that the Commission did not conduct a fair price comparison in the dumping margin calculations and thereby violated Articles 2(8), 2(9), 2(10) and 2(11) of the Basic Regulation.

(Case T-217/25)

(C/2025/2907)
Language of the case: German

Parties


Applicant: LM (represented by: A. Bartosch and R. Schmidt, lawyers)

Defendant: European Commission

Form of order sought

The applicant claims that the Court should:






—


annul Article 1 of the contested decision, (1) in which it was found that the loss coverage payments granted between 2009 and 2015 do not constitute aid;










—


order the defendant to pay the applicant’s costs.





Pleas in law and main arguments

The action is based on the following pleas in law.






1.


First plea in law: the defendant misinterpreted the concept of advantage under EU state aid law, thereby making an error of law, when it considered that the fact that there was no transfer of funds from outside of Westdeutsche Spielbanken GmbH & Co. KG was sufficient to find that there was no such advantage.










2.


Second plea in law: the defendant misinterpreted the so-called market economy operator principle.






—


The defendant breached the ex ante principle which is mandatory when applying that principle.










—


The defendant failed to examine each individual loss coverage separately as at the time it was made, in accordance with that principle.










—


The defendant incorrectly implemented the alternative scenario of the sale of Westdeutsche Spielbanken GmbH & Co. KG.










—


There are inconsistencies in the assessment, as carried out by the defendant in its decision, of the alternative scenarios.
