NGT plant patenting: betwixt and between regulatory continuity and expectations
The evolution of the concept of genetically modified organisms in the European Union in light of new genomic techniques (NGTs) is examined, along with the regulatory response that introduces a distinction between two categories of NGT plants, making the regime more flexible for those that can be considered equivalent to conventional plants. It also highlights that the institutional agreement reflected in the Council’s position represents a significant shift from the case law of the Court of Justice. Regarding patents, it highlights the absence of substantial changes, opting instead for a cautious approach based on transparency, monitoring, and possible future intervention.

Voluntary takeover bids and squeeze-outs
The Judgment of the Court of Justice of the European Union (Fifth Chamber) of 13 May 2026 (Korfin and Sempiola v Slovnaft, Case C-225/25) clarifies the concept of a takeover bid for the purposes of Article 2 of the 2004 Takeover Bids Directive, such that an offer made to the holders of securities of a company with a view to acquiring all or some of those securities does not fall within the concept of a takeover bid where it is made by an offeror who already controls the offeree company. Consequently, based on that court’s interpretation of the Directive’s provisions, there is no right of squeeze-out in such voluntary takeover bids.

Supreme Court rules on ‘administrative silence’ in the electricity sector: “public service” or “service of general economic interest”
The Supreme Court judgment of 10 April 2026 characterises the concept of public service under Article 24(1) of Act 39/2015 as an exception to the ‘double silence’ rule, distinguishing it from the concept of service of general economic interest, which applies in liberalized sectors such as that of electricity supply. The Supreme Court thus concludes that in seeking an authorisation to close a combined-cycle power plant, the ‘double silence’ rule applies to the effect of a presumption of approval.
