Action brought on 15 January 2026 – Ecolog Deutschland v Commission (Case T-31/26) Language of the case: German Parties Applicant: Ecolog Deutschland GmbH (Düsseldorf, Germany) (represented by: T. Mösinger, lawyer) Defendant: European Commission Form of order sought The applicant claims that the Court should: annul the European Commission’s award of the contract at issue 1 to [another tenderer]; order the defendant to pay the costs of the proceedings. Pleas in law and main arguments In support of the action, the applicant relies on three pleas in law. First plea in law, alleging an unlawful application of the declaration of crisis There was a failure to strictly interpret the exceptional circumstances of the crisis declaration, as – with the exception of the request to submit tenders – the entire procedure was conducted after the crisis declaration had ceased to be effective. There is no extreme urgency, as insufficient justification has been provided. A Europe-wide public tender could easily have been carried out within the timeframe of the tender process. That also contradicts the claim of extreme urgency. Second plea in law, alleging a failure to request the applicant The participants invited were unlawfully restricted to tent manufacturers. Against that background, the applicant was excluded. Third plea in law, alleging the unlawful award of contract to [another tenderer] Although the successful tender is a tent manufacturer, it does not manufacture tents in the required military category design. ____________ 1 Belgium: EC-FPI/2024/EA-NP/0038 – Supply contract – EPF Armenia, OJ S 2025/704925, 24/10/2025.
