Action brought on 26 April 2010 — Scuola Elementare Maria Montessori v Commission
(Case T-193/10)
(2010/C 179/80)
Language of the case: Italian

Parties


Applicant: Scuola Elementare Maria Montessori (Rome, Italy) (represented by: A. Nucara, lawyer)

Defendant: European Commission

Form of order sought







—


Annul the decision of the Commission contained in the letter of 15 February 2010 by which the defendant rejected the applicant’s complaints.










—


Order the defendant to pay the costs of the present proceedings.





Pleas in law and main arguments

The present action is brought against the decision contained in the letter of 15 February 2010 rejecting the applicant’s complaint.
That complaint concerns not only the exemption from the Imposta Comunale sugli Immobili (Communal Tax on Immovable Property), as in Case T-192/10 Pietro Ferracci v Commission, but also the partial exemption (at the rate of 50 %) from payment of the Imposta sul reddito delle persone giuridiche (tax on the income of legal persons) provided for under Italian tax law.
The pleas in law and main arguments are similar to those relied on in Case T-192/10.
