ORDER OF THE PRESIDENT
OF THE NINTH CHAMBER OF THE GENERAL COURT
16 September 2019 (*)
(Intervention — Dismissal — Application lodged after the expiry of the time-limit provided for in the Rules of procedure)
In Case T‑242/19,
Giant Electric Vehicle Kunshan Co. Ltd,
established in Kunshan (China), represented by P. De Baere, lawyer,
applicant,
v
European Commission,
represented by N. Kuplewatzky, A. Demeneix and T. Maxian Rusche, acting as Agents,
defendant,
APPLICATION under Article 263 TFEU for the annulment of Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2019/73 of 17 January 2019, in as far as it relates to the applicant,
1        By document lodged at the Court Registry on 12 August 2019, the European Bicycle Manufacturers Association (EBMA) applied for leave to intervene in the present proceedings in support of the form of order sought by the defendant.
2        In accordance with Article 143(1) of the Rules of Procedure of the General Court, an application to intervene must be submitted within six weeks of the publication of the notice referred to in Article 79 thereof.
3        In the present case, the notice in the Official Journal of the European Union referred to in Article 79 of the Rules of Procedure having been published on 17 June 2019, the application to intervene was made after the expiry of the time-limit of six weeks referred to in Article 143(1) of the Rules of Procedure, as extended on the account of distance under Article 60 thereof.
4        The application to intervene must therefore be dismissed without being served on the parties.
Costs
5        Under Article 144(6) of the Rules of Procedure, if the application to intervene is refused, the order must include a decision as to the costs relating to the application to intervene, including the costs of the applicant for leave to intervene, pursuant to Articles 134 and 135.
6        As the present order was adopted prior to service of the application for leave to intervene on the parties and before the latter could have incurred costs, it is sufficient to decide that the applicant to intervene must bear its own costs.
On those grounds,
THE PRESIDENT OF THE NINTH CHAMBER OF THE GENERAL COURT
hereby orders:
1.      The application for leave to intervene in Case T‑242/19 lodged by the European Bicycle Manufacturers Association (EBMA) is dismissed.
2.      The EBMA shall bear its own costs.
Luxembourg, 16 September 2019.
