Parties to the main proceedings


Applicant: G.S.

Defendant: O sp. z o.o.

Questions referred







1.


Must Article 6(3) of Directive 2011/7/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council of 16 February 2011 on combating late payment in commercial transactions (2) be understood as meaning that the reasonable compensation for recovery costs provided for therein may always include costs associated with instructing a legal professional at the pre-litigation or litigation stage, even where national law provides for a separate procedure for the creditor to claim reimbursement from the debtor for costs incurred in connection with instructing a legal professional – a legal counsel [(radca prawny)] or lawyer [(adwokat)] – in proceedings before judicial authorities?
If the question in point 1 is answered in the affirmative:










2.


Should the phrase ‘reasonable compensation’ be understood to refer only to the market cost of instructing a legal professional in the territory where the creditor has its registered office, or should the reasonableness of the possible expense of instructing a legal professional relative to the amount of the claim pursued also be taken into account, so that the cost of instructing a legal professional does not exceed that amount?

In circumstances in which a citizen of the European Union has exercised his or her freedom of movement by going to a Member State other than that of which he or she is a national and entering into a same-sex civil partnership, under Italian law, with a third-country national, must Article 21(1) of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union be interpreted as precluding the authorities of the Member State of which the European Union citizen is a national from refusing to grant a right of residence in the territory of that Member State to the third-country national on the ground that the law of that Member State does not recognise a civil partnership between persons of the same sex?

Action brought on 8 July 2025 – Arkema France and Miwon Europe v ECHA


(Case T-448/25)

(C/2025/4637)
Language of the case: English

Parties


Applicants: Arkema France (Puteaux, France), Miwon Europe GmbH (Mainz, Germany) (represented by: R. Cana and E. Mullier, lawyers)

Defendant: European Chemicals Agency

Form of order sought

The applicants claim that the Court should:






—


Declare the application admissible and well founded;










—


Annul the decision of the Board of Appeal of the European Chemicals Agency A-003-2024 of 29 April 2025 (‘the Contested Decision’) in its entirety;










—


Take measures such that 2024 Decision is devoid of effects, to allow for an effective remedy for the applicants;










—


Order the defendant to pay the costs of these proceedings; and










—


Take such other or further measure as justice may require.





Pleas in law and main arguments

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






1.


First plea in law, alleging that the defendant had breached Article 93(1) of REACH Regulation by adopting a new, separate 2024 Decision in the context of the rectification procedure, and breached the principle of legal certainty.










2.


Second plea in law, alleging that the defendant had breached Article 41 and Article 42(1) of the REACH Regulation, and exceeded its competence under these provisions.










3.


Third plea in law, alleging that the defendant had breached Article 42 of REACH Regulation and exceeded its competence because it concluded the dossier non-compliant on the basis of considerations that go beyond the standard requirements of the relevant REACH Annex.










4.


Fourth plea in law, alleging that the defendant had committed a manifest error of assessment and failed to take all relevant information into account by concluding that (i) the dose level selection in the one-generation reproductive toxicity study (‘EOGRTS’) was inadequate; and (ii) the immunotoxicity assay (‘TDAR assay’) was unreliable, rendering the EOGRTS non-compliant.










5.


Fifth plea in law, alleging that the defendant had breached the principle of proportionality, the principle of legal certainty and Article 25 of REACH Regulation by not considering other means to fulfil the alleged data gap, and by failing to allow the applicants to comply with the defendant’s request by submitting an adaptation under Annex XI of REACH Regulation.
