VINGE ADVISES NOBINA IN STATE AID COMPLAINT TO THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION

January 20, 2015

Vinge is advising Nobina in a state aid matter where the European Commission has decided to initiate a formal investigation procedure. The matter pertains to potential unlawful state aid to Helsinki Region Transport (Sw. Helsingfors Busstrafik). The Commission’s investigation has been prompted by a complaint from Nobina and relates to several different types of state aid including, inter alia, beneficial loans on terms and conditions and at interest rates which are better than those which are normally available on the financial markets.

Vinge’s team consists of responsible partner Martin Johansson and associate Ina Lunneryd.

The prohibition imposed by EU law on complying with secondary sanctions laid down by the United States against Iran may be relied on in civil proceedings

 On Tuesday 21 December, the EU Court of Justice delivered its long-awaited judgment in the Bank Melli Iran case (Case C-124/20) on the interpretation of the EU Blocking Statute regarding compliance with third country sanctions. According to the Court, the prohibition imposed by EU law on complying with secondary sanctions laid down by the United States against Iran may be relied on in civil proceedings. Following the Court’s judgment, anyone seeking to terminate a contract with a person or business subject to US sanctions must thoroughly consider if the termination is motivated by other reasons than the existing sanctions and reflect on whether to apply to the Commission for a derogation from the Blocking Statute.
