Procedural Posture

Action for Annulment / Final Judgment

  1. 1 Whether the Commission violated procedural safeguards by imposing a financial correction for years not expressly mentioned in its initial communication
  2. 2 Whether the absence of explicit reference to 2013 and 2014 in the Commission's communication invalidates the correction for those years

Ratio Decidendi

The Commission's communication of 15 January 2018 was sufficiently precise to inform Slovakia of the relevant irregularities and years, given the triennial update system and the nature of the control deficiencies. The absence of explicit mention of 2013 and 2014 did not violate procedural safeguards, as Slovakia was able to understand, calculate, and respond to the risk, and the correction was lawfully imposed.

Court Disposition

application dismissed
