Operative part of the judgment

Article 9(3) of Directive 2012/27/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council of 25 October 2012 on energy efficiency, amending Directives 2009/125/EC and 2010/30/EU and repealing Directives 2004/8/EC and 2006/32/EC
must be interpreted as not precluding national legislation under which the owner of an apartment in a co-owned building is required to pay the costs passed on to him or her in respect of the thermal energy emitted by all the pipes and installations for the distribution and supply of thermal energy within the building, including where staircases and corridors are not equipped with radiators, in proportion to the heated volume of his or her apartment, provided that the rules and parameters on the basis of which the costs passed on to him or her in respect of his or her individual consumption of thermal energy intended for heating his or her apartment and domestic hot water are calculated guarantee transparent and accurate accounting of individual consumption.

On 16 October 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:

SODEXO will acquire within the meaning of Article 3(1)(b) of the Merger Regulation sole control of the whole of MECA.
The concentration is accomplished by way of purchase of shares.

Article 25(1) of Regulation (EU) No 1215/2012 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 12 December 2012 on jurisdiction and the recognition and enforcement of judgments in civil and commercial matters
must be interpreted as meaning that a third party, as the assignee of a claim for damages arising from the non-performance of a contract containing a jurisdiction clause, may rely on that clause vis-à-vis the original contracting party, as the assigned debtor of that claim, under the same conditions as those under which the other original party to the contract could have relied on that clause against that debtor, for the purposes of an action for recovery of that claim and without the consent of that debtor, in a situation where, in accordance with the national law applicable to that contract, as interpreted by the national case-law, an assignment of a claim entails a transfer, to the assignee’s assets, not only of the right of claim, but also of the rights attached to that claim, including the right to rely on the application of an agreement conferring jurisdiction set out in that contract, unless the original parties to the contract have expressly agreed that that clause cannot be relied on against them in the event of assignment, to a third party, of a claim arising from that contract.
