represented by L. Sandberg-Mørch, lawyer,
applicants,
v
European Commission, represented by S. Noë and C. Georgieva-Kecsmar, acting as Agents,
defendant,
ACTION under Article 263 TFEU seeking the annulment of Commission Decision of 22 July 2019 partially rejecting the applicants’ request for an extension of the deadline for submitting comments in the context of the formal investigation procedure in case SA.39078 (2019/C) (ex 2014/N).
1        By letter lodged at the Court Registry on 29 October 2019, the applicants informed the Court, in accordance with Article 125 of the Rules of Procedure of the General Court, that they wished to discontinue proceedings. They sought no order as to costs.
2        By letter lodged at the Court Registry on 5 November 2019, the defendant informed the Court that it welcomed the discontinuance and requested that the applicants be ordered to pay the costs.
3        Article 136(1) of the Rules of Procedure provides that a party who discontinues or withdraws from proceedings is to be ordered to pay the costs if they have been applied for in the other party’s observations on the discontinuance.
4        The case shall therefore be removed from the register and the applicants ordered to pay the costs, including those relating to the proceedings for interim measures.
On those grounds,
THE PRESIDENT OF THE THIRD CHAMBER OF THE GENERAL COURT
hereby orders:
1.      Case T-566/19 is removed from the register of the General Court.
