The Court of Justice of the European Union dismissed the appeal by Holcim (Romania) SA against the judgment of the General Court of the European Union, by which the General Court had dismissed Holcim’s action seeking, first, compensation for the damage which Holcim had allegedly sustained because of the European Commission’s alleged fault: (i) in refusing to disclose to it information concerning greenhouse gas emission allowances allegedly stolen from Holcim; and (ii) in prohibiting all transactions involving those allowances and, second, compensation for that damage on the basis of the Commission’s strict liability.
