AINALI AND OTHERS v. GREECE

AINALI AND OTHERS v. GREECE (CtEDO, 2023)

Publicat la 30 octombrie 2023 SECȚIUNEA TERZĂ Cererea nr. 49134/18 Fevronia AINALI și alții împotriva Greciei depusă la 27 august 2018 a comunicat la 10 octombrie 2023 OBIECTUL CAUZEI Cererea se referă la refuzul tacit al Curții de casă de a solicita o hotărâre preliminară de la Curtea a Uniunii Europene (CJUE). Reclamanții, acuzați într-un recurs asupra punctelor de drept depuse de statul grec, au invitat Curtea de Casație prin acuzațiile lor scrise să solicite o hotărâre preliminară de la CJUE cu privire la interpretarea corectă a Directivei 1999/70/CE a Consiliului din 28 iunie 1999 privind acordul-cadru privind lucrările pe termen fix încheiat de CES, UNICE și CEEP și aplicarea acesteia în cazul lor. Curtea internă a acordat recursul statului grec cu privire la punctele de drept prin decizia 378/2018, finalizată la 27 februarie 2018, fără a menționa cererea de referință a reclamanților și fără a da motive pentru refuzul acestuia de a solicita o hotărâre preliminară. Într-adevăr, faptul că Curtea de Casație nu a dat niciun motiv pentru refuzul cererii reclamanților de a solicita o hotărâre preliminară cu CJUE a respins procedura, în încălcarea art. 6 § 1 din Convenție (a se vedea Sanofi Pasteur c. Franța , nr. 25137/16 , §§ 67-68, 13 februarie 2020, și Georgiou c. Grecia , nr. 57378/18, 14 martie 2023)? LISTA APLICAȚIILOR Nr.

THIRD SECTION

Application no. 49134/18

Fevronia AINALI and Others

against Greece

lodged on 27 August 2018

communicated on 10 October 2023

SUBJECT MATTER OF THE CASE

The application concerns the tacit refusal of the Court of Cassation to seek a preliminary ruling from the Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU). The applicants, defendants in an appeal on points of law lodged by the Greek State, invited the Court of Cassation by their written submissions to seek a preliminary ruling from the CJEU on the correct interpretation of Council Directive 1999/70/EC of 28 June 1999 concerning the framework agreement on fixed-term work concluded by ETUC, UNICE and CEEP and its application on their case. The domestic court granted the Greek State’s appeal on points of law by decision 378/2018, which was finalised on 27

February

2018, without mentioning the applicants’

referral request and without giving reasons for its refusal to seek a preliminary ruling.

QUESTION TO THE PARTIES

Did the fact that the Court of Cassation gave no reasons for its refusal of the applicants’ request to seek a preliminary ruling with the CJEU render the proceedings unfair, in violation of Art 6 § 1 of the Convention (see

Sanofi Pasteur v. France

, no.

25137/16, §§ 67-68, 13 February 2020, and

Georgiou v.

Greece

, no. 57378/18, 14 March 2023)?
