Referring court

Tribunal Supremo

Parties to the main proceedings


Appellant: Consorcio de Compensación de Seguros

Respondents: Ministerio Fiscal, MLVM, LRMG, LMR, JMV, LMMV, AHM

Questions referred







1.


Does the principle of equivalence of compensation cover for all those who are victims as a result of the use of a motor vehicle, including victims of an intentional assault using the moving vehicle, a principle that was expressly proclaimed in recital 9 of Directive (EU) 2021/2118, (1) constitute effective EU law from the initial version of Directive 2009/103/EC? (2)











2.


If the answer to the first question is in the affirmative, can a system of compensation operated by the State, which includes victims of intentional offences committed using a motor vehicle, but which reduces the amount of compensation (sometimes by more than half) and excludes some beneficiaries, be considered close to the compulsory insurance system, and therefore takes away the need to include those victims in the coverage provided for in Directive 2009/103/EC?






(1)  Directive (EU) 2021/2118 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 24 November 2021 amending Directive 2009/103/EC relating to insurance against civil liability in respect of the use of motor vehicles, and the enforcement of the obligation to insure against such liability (OJ 2021 L 430, p. 1).

(2)  Directive 2009/103/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 16 September 2009 relating to insurance against civil liability in respect of the use of motor vehicles, and the enforcement of the obligation to insure against such liability (OJ 2009 L 263, p. 11).

Questions referred







1.


Are Article 7(1) and (2)(a), Article 20(2) and Article 30 of Council Directive 2008/118/EC of 16 December 2008 concerning the general arrangements for excise duty and repealing Directive 92/12/EEC (1) to be interpreted as precluding the application of a national provision according to which, during movements of excise goods under suspension of excise duty into a tax warehouse in a Member State that are transferred by the keeper of the tax warehouse under suspension of excise duty to another tax warehouse in the Member State concerned or to the premises of a commercial user in the Member State concerned, the goods are deemed to have been received into the tax warehouse of the tax warehouse keeper and simultaneously to have departed from it as soon as the latter acquired possession of the goods in the Member State concerned, and the tax warehouse keeper must therefore establish a new duty suspension arrangement?










2.


Is Article 27(1) and (2) of Council Directive 92/83/EEC of 19 October 1992 on the harmonisation of the structures of excise duties on alcohol and alcoholic beverages (2) to be interpreted as meaning that the principle of proportionality under EU law precludes the refusal of a tax exemption provided for under those provisions because – under the national provision mentioned in question 1 – in the case of a fictitious onward transfer of excise goods under a duty suspension arrangement, no additional draft of an electronic administrative document was transmitted or, in the case of a movement in a Member State into the premises of commercial users, no accompanying document or commercial document was used that contained a statement specifying that the alcohol had been denatured and that elimination of the denaturing, or use for drinking purposes or for the production of alcoholic beverages, as well as unauthorised trade, would entail consequences under criminal and tax law, notwithstanding the fact that the alcohol was used tax-free for commercial purposes, or was received into the tax warehouse of an authorised person?

1.   
On 28 April 2025, the Commission received notification of a proposed concentration pursuant to Article 4 of Council Regulation (EC) No 139/2004 (1).
This notification concerns the following undertakings:






—


H.I.G. Europe Middle Market Holdings, L.P. (‘H.I.G. EU MM’, Canada), controlled by H.I.G. Capital, LLC (‘H.I.G. Capital’, United States),










—


TIMETOACT Holding GmbH (‘TIMETOACT’, Germany) controlled by Equistone Partners Europe Limited (United Kingdom).




H.I.G. EU MM will acquire within the meaning of Article 3(1)(b) of the Merger Regulation control of the whole of TIMETOACT.
The concentration is accomplished by way of purchase of shares.


2.   
The business activities of the undertakings concerned are the following:






—


H.I.G. EU MM is an investment fund managed by H.I.G. Capital, a global private equity and alternative assets investment firm,

3.   
On preliminary examination, the Commission finds that the notified transaction could fall within the scope of the Merger Regulation. However, the final decision on this point is reserved.
Pursuant to the Commission Notice on a simplified treatment for certain concentrations under Council Regulation (EC) No 139/2004 on the control of concentrations between undertakings (2) it should be noted that this case is a candidate for treatment under the procedure set out in the Notice.


4.   
The Commission invites interested third parties to submit their possible observations on the proposed concentration to the Commission.
Observations must reach the Commission not later than 10 days following the date of this publication. The following reference should always be specified:
