The legal question brought before the ECJ was whether the rulings granted by the Luxembourg tax authorities to the Engie group involving hybrid mismatches constitutes state aid prohibited by article 107 TFEU. Interestingly in this case, the Commission formulated an unprecedented line of reasoning by which it sought to establish the selective advantage on the basis of the misapplication of a domestic anti-abuse rule. This raised the question about the margin of discretion Member States have when applying anti-abuse rules and under which conditions it may constitute state aid.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Frank Salentiny, PhD researcher under the supervision of Prof. Werner Haslehner, will critically discuss the judgement in light of its specific factual and legal background, also considering relevant jurisprudence.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-unilux-blocks-spacer is-spacer-size-sm\"><\/div>\n\n\n<p><strong>About Frank Salentiny:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em>Frank Salentiny<\/em><\/strong>,\u00a0<em><em>PhD researcher at the Department of Law of the University of Luxembourg<\/em><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-unilux-blocks-spacer is-spacer-size-sm\"><\/div>\n\n\n<p><strong>Location:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"ulux-list\">\n<li class=\"ulux-list-item\">Online: The link to join the seminar will be sent to all registered attendees on the business day before the event.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"ulux-list\">\n<li class=\"ulux-list-item\">In person: University of Luxembourg | Campus Kirchberg &#8211; Weicker Building | Room A101 (First floor)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-unilux-blocks-spacer is-spacer-size-sm\"><\/div>\n\n\n<p><strong>Language<\/strong>: English<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":85,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"featured_image_focal_point":[],"show_featured_caption":false,"ulux_newsletter_groups":"","uluxPostTitle":"","uluxPrePostTitle":"","_trash_the_other_posts":false,"_price":"","_stock":"","_tribe_ticket_header":"","_tribe_default_ticket_provider":"","_tribe_ticket_capacity":"0","_ticket_start_date":"","_ticket_end_date":"","_tribe_ticket_show_description":"","_tribe_ticket_show_not_going":false,"_tribe_ticket_use_global_stock":"","_tribe_ticket_global_stock_level":"","_global_stock_mode":"","_global_stock_cap":"","_tribe_rsvp_for_event":"","_tribe_ticket_going_count":"","_tribe_ticket_not_going_count":"","_tribe_tickets_list":"[]","_tribe_ticket_has_attendee_info_fields":false,"event_start_date":"2024-02-26 12:30:00","event_end_date":"2024-02-26 13:30:00","event_speaker_name":"Frank Tom Luc SALENTINY","event_speaker_link":"https:\/\/www.uni.lu\/en\/person\/NTAwMTcyMDdfX0ZyYW5rIFRvbSBMdWMgU0FMRU5USU5Z\/","event_is_online":false,"event_location":"Campus Kirchberg - Weicker Building","event_street":"4, rue Alphonse Weicker","event_location_link":"https:\/\/www.uni.lu\/en\/about\/campuses\/weicker-building\/","event_zip_code":"2721","event_city":"Luxembourg","event_country":"Luxembourg"},"events-topic":[305],"events-type":[323,322,315,321],"organisation":[104,101],"authorship":[85],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v22.3 (Yoast SEO v22.3) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>The ECJ\u2019s judgement in Engie on the non-application of an anti-abuse rule - FDEF events I Uni.lu<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"The ECJ\u2019s judgement in Engie on the non-application of a domestic anti-abuse rule.
