Court of Justice (Third Chamber) 27 June 2013, C‑93/12 (ET Agrokonsulting-04-Velko Stoyanov v Izpalnitelen direktor na Darzhaven fond ‘Zemedelie’ — Razplashtatelna agentsia.)

Also known as

The Court's judgment addresses the compatibility of a national jurisdiction rule that assigns a single court to handle disputes regarding agricultural aid decisions with EU law principles, specifically the principles of equivalence and effectiveness, as well as Article 47 of the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the EU. The Court concludes that such a jurisdictional arrangement is lawful as long as it does not impose less favorable conditions for individuals seeking to safeguard their EU-derived rights compared to national aid schemes, and does not create procedural difficulties that would hinder the exercise of those rights. Ultimately, the referring court is tasked with verifying whether these conditions are met in the specific case at hand.AI
