Parties


Applicant: Ryanair DAC (Swords, Ireland) (represented by: F.-C. Laprévote, E. Vahida, C. Cozzani and S. Rating, lawyers)

Defendant: European Commission

Form of order sought

The applicant claims that the Court should:






—


annul European Commission Decision of 9 July 2024 on State Aid SA.114648 (2024/N) and SA.114657 (2024/N) – Sweden – Denmark – Amendment to SA.57543 and SA.58342 (1); and










—


order the European Commission to pay the costs.





Pleas in law and main arguments

In support of the action, the applicant relies on five pleas in law.






1.


First plea in law, alleging that the Commission manifestly erred by repealing the governance commitments in breach of its self-imposed equivalence test.










2.


Second plea in law, alleging that the Commission committed a manifest error of assessment and infringed the Temporary Framework and Article 107(3)(b) TFEU by unlawfully waiving the requirement for a step-up mechanism.










3.


Third plea in law, alleging that the Commission erred in law and manifestly erred in its assessment by endorsing the ‘fresh start’ principle, which insulates SAS from exposure to structural remedies under point 72 TF and creates an unlawful safe harbour against prior, unaddressed distortions of competition raised by the Applicant in the pending proceedings against the Readopted Decision.










4.


Fourth plea in law, alleging that the Commission misapplied Regulation (EU) 2015/1589 (2) by choosing not to re-open the formal administrative procedure prior to the adoption of the Amendment Decision.










5.


Fifth plea in law, alleging that the Amendment Decision infringed the Commission’s duty to state reasons under Article 296(2) TFEU.

Prior notification of a concentration
(Case M.12066 – TRAFIGURA / ARMORINE)
Candidate case for simplified procedure
(Text with EEA relevance)
(C/2025/4548)


1.   
On 6 August 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:






—


Trafigura Group Pte. Ltd. (‘Trafigura’, Singapore), through its wholly-owned subsidiary Greenergy International Limited (‘Greenergy’, United Kingdom), ultimately controlled by Farringford Foundation (Panama),










—


Armorine SAS (‘Armorine’, France).




Trafigura, through Greenergy, will acquire within the meaning of Article 3(1)(b) of the Merger Regulation sole control of the whole of Armorine.
The concentration is accomplished by way of purchase of shares.


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






—


Trafigura is a commodity trader, specialising in the energy, minerals and metals markets. Its subsidiary Greenergy is active in the supply of refined petroleum products in the UK and Ireland and in the manufacturing and supply of biodiesel products,










—


Armorine is a distributor of refined oil products and lubricants in France, with a specific focus on the Western region of France.






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:

Language of the case: Portuguese

Parties


Applicant: Portuguese Republic (represented by P. Barros da Costa, N. Domingues and G. Gomes, acting as Agents)

Defendant: European Commission

Form of order sought

The applicant claims that the Court should:






—


Annul Implementing Decision (EU) 2025/1147 of 11 June 2025, notified under document C(2025)3622, excluding from European Union financing certain expenditure incurred by certain Member States under the European Agricultural Guarantee Fund (EAGF) and under the European Agricultural Fund for Rural Development (EAFRD) following investigation VIN/2022/001/PT, in so far as that decision excludes from financing the amount of EUR 717 149,51 (claim years 2020 to 2023) concerning expenditure declared by the Portuguese Republic in the context of the management and control system for the measure ‘promotion of wines on third country markets’;










—


Order the European Commission to pay the costs of the proceedings.





Pleas in law and main arguments







1.


First plea in law, alleging that the European Commission erred in fact and in law, since, according to the analysis carried out, the national authorities correctly applied the provisions of EU law at issue, namely Article 29(2) of Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2016/1150 of 15 April 2016, as regards the checking compliance with all eligibility criteria established by EU or national legislation, and Articles 30 and 31 of the that regulation, as regards administrative checks and on-the-spot checks of all applications for support, payment claims or other declarations and requests for modification submitted by a beneficiary or a third party.










2.


Second plea in law, alleging infringement of the principle of proportionality (Article 5(4) TEU), in that the financial correction was applied on a flat-rate basis and the contested decision concluded that the administrative checks were completely ineffective, when carried out systematically, rigorously and appropriately, and that such a financial correction is, moreover, inadequate and disproportionate because it is based on an insignificant sample of a single invoice (approximately EUR 3 467,26), which is part of a larger expenditure item.

—


order the defendant to reimburse all of the legal costs incurred by the applicant upon bringing the present proceedings before the Court.
