III. CASE-LAW

III.1. Court of Justice of the European Union

Judgement of the Court of 12 June 2019, Case C‑705/17: Reference for a preliminary ruling. Trade marks. Directive 2008/95/EC. Article 4(1)(b). Likelihood of confusion. Overall impression. Earlier trade mark registered with a disclaimer. Effects of such a disclaimer on the extent of protection of the earlier trade mark.
Summary: “Article 4(1)(b) of Directive 2008/95/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 22 October 2008 to approximate the laws of the Member States relating to trade marks must be interpreted as precluding national legislation making provision for a disclaimer whose effect would be to exclude an element of a complex trade mark, referred to in that disclaimer, from the global analysis of the relevant factors for showing the existence of a likelihood of confusion within the meaning of that provision, or to attribute to such an element, in advance and permanently, limited importance in that analysis.”

Judgment of the Court of 13 June 2019, Case C‑317/18: Reference for a preliminary ruling. Directive 2001/23/EC.Transfers of undertakings. Safeguarding of employees’ rights. Concept of ‘worker. Substantial change in working conditions to the detriment of the employee.
Summary: “Council Directive 2001/23/EC of 12 March 2001 on the approximation of the laws of the Member States relating to the safeguarding of employees’ rights in the event of transfers of undertakings, businesses or parts of undertakings or businesses, in particular Article 2(1)(d), must be interpreted as meaning that a person who has entered into a contract for a position of trust, within the meaning of the national legislation at issue in the main proceedings, with the transferor may be regarded as an ‘employee’ and thus benefit from the protection which that directive affords, provided, however, that that person is protected as an employee by that legislation and has a contract of employment at the date of transfer, which is a matter for the referring court to determine.

 Directive 2001/23, read in conjunction with Article 4(2) TEU, must be interpreted as meaning that it precludes national legislation which provides that, in the event of a transfer within the meaning of that directive and where the transferee is a municipality, the employees concerned must, first, undergo a public competitive selection procedure and, secondly, have a new relationship with the transferee.”

Judgment of the Court of 13 June 2019, Case C-22/18: Reference for a preliminary ruling. Citizenship of the Union. Articles 18, 21 and 165 TFEU. Rules of a sports association. Participation in the national championship of a Member State by an amateur athlete holding the nationality of another Member State. Different treatment on the basis of nationality. Restriction on free movement.
Summary: “Articles 18, 21 and 165 TFEU must be interpreted as precluding rules of a national sports association, such as those at issue in the main proceedings, under which an EU citizen, who is a national of another Member State and who has resided for a number of years in the territory of the Member State where that association, in which he runs in the senior category and in an amateur capacity, is established, cannot participate in the national championships in those disciplines in the same way as nationals can, or can participate in them only ‘outside classification’ or ‘without classification’, without being able to progress to the final and without being eligible to be awarded the title of national champion, unless those rules are justified by objective considerations which are proportionate to the legitimate objective pursued, this being a matter for the referring court to verify.”

Judgment of the Court of 13 June 2019, Case C-664/17: Reference for a preliminary ruling. Social policy. Directive 2001/23/EC. Scope. Transfer of part of an undertaking. Safeguarding of employees’ rights. Concept of ‘transfer. Concept of ‘economic entity’. Transfer of part of the economic activity of a parent company to a newly created subsidiary.  Identity. Autonomy. Pursuit of an economic activity. Criterion requiring stability of the pursuit of an economic activity. Recourse to factors of production of third parties. Intention to liquidate the entity transferred.
Summary: “Council Directive 2001/23/EC of 12 March 2001 on the approximation of the laws of the Member States relating to the safeguarding of employees’ rights in the event of transfers of undertakings, businesses or parts of undertakings or businesses, in particular Article 1(1)(a) and (b) thereof, must be interpreted as applying to the transfer of a production unit where, first, the transferor, the transferee, or both those persons jointly, act with a view to the transferee pursuing the economic activity engaged in by the transferor, but also with a view to the transferee itself subsequently ceasing to exist, in the context of a liquidation, and second, the unit at issue, lacking the ability to attain its economic object without having recourse to factors of production from third parties, is not totally autonomous, provided that — matters which are for the referring court to establish — first, the general principle of EU law requiring the transferor and transferee not to seek to obtain fraudulently or wrongfully the advantages that they might derive from Directive 2001/23 is observed and, second, the production unit concerned has sufficient safeguards ensuring it access to the factors of production of a third party so as not to be dependent upon the economic choices unilaterally made by the latter.”

Judgment of the Court of 19 June 2019, Case C-608/17: Reference for a preliminary ruling. Corporation tax.  Group of companies. Freedom of establishment. Deduction of losses of a non-resident subsidiary. Concept of ‘final losses. Application to a sub-subsidiary. Legislation of the State of establishment of the parent company requiring direct ownership of the subsidiary. Legislation of the State of establishment of the subsidiary restricting the set-off of losses and prohibiting them from being set off in the year of liquidation
Summary: “The concept of final losses of a non-resident subsidiary, within the meaning of paragraph 55 of the judgment of 13 December 2005, Marks & Spencer(C‑446/03, EU:C:2005:763), does not apply to a sub-subsidiary unless all the intermediate companies between the parent company applying for group relief and the sub-subsidiary sustaining losses that could be regarded as final are not established in the same Member State.

 For the purposes of the assessment of the finality of a non-resident subsidiary’s losses, within the meaning of paragraph 55 of the judgment of 13 December 2005, Marks & Spencer (C‑446/03, EU:C:2005:763), the fact that the subsidiary’s Member State of establishment does not allow the losses of one company to be transferred to another company in the year of liquidation is not decisive, unless the parent company demonstrates that it is impossible for it to deduct those losses by ensuring, in particular by means of a sale, that they are taken into account by a third party for future periods.

 If the fact referred to in paragraph 2 of the operative part of the present judgment becomes relevant, the extent to which the legislation of the State of establishment of the subsidiary sustaining the losses that could be regarded as final results in it not being possible to set off part of them against the current profits of the loss-making subsidiary or against those profits of another company in the same group is irrelevant.”
