Pleas in law and main arguments

In the present case the applicant seeks the annulment of the defendant’s decision of 12 August 2010 (Ref. SG.E.3/FM/MIP/mbp/psi — Ares(2010) 508190 — 12/08/2010) rejecting the request for a review submitted by the applicant by its letter dated 31 December 2009, registered on 5 January 2010 (Ref. GESTDEM 2009/4890), in which the applicant, pursuant to Regulation (EC) No 1049/2001 (1), requested the review of the positions taken by the Publications Office of the European Union in its respective letter of 11 December 2009, following the applicant’s initial request dated 9 October 2009, concerning access to all requests for quotation pertaining to all lots of the Publications Office’s framework contracts No 6011, 6102, 6103, 6020, 6121, 6031 (apart from lot 4) and 10030.
In support of its claim the applicant argues that the defendant did not proceed to an individual assessment of the requested documents. Moreover, the applicant contends that the justification provided by the defendant with regard to the protection of the economic policy of the European Union, the protection of the commercial interests and the public security reasons should be rejected as wholly unfounded.

2010/C 346/107
Language of the case: Italian

Parties


Applicant: Prima TV SpA (Milan, Italy) (represented by: L. Fossati and L. Perfetti, lawyers)

Defendant: European Commission

Annul the contested decision.










—


Order the Commission to pay the costs.





Pleas in law and main arguments

The decision that is contested in the present case is the same as that in Case T-501/10 TI Media Broadcasting and TI Media v Commission.
The applicant relies on three grounds in support of its claims.
By the first ground, the applicant seeks annulment of the decision, alleging infringement of legal provisions in the form of a manifest error of assessment, since the Commission found incorrectly that the conditions in the Italian pay-TV market had changed since 2003 to such an extent that it was possible to revise the commitments given by Newscorp in Case COMP/M.2876. All the evidence shows that, on the contrary, the market conditions which determined the commitments given to and accepted by the Commission in 2003 have not changed in any significant or lasting manner. In particular, Sky Italia still holds a position of absolute dominance in the Italian pay-TV market.
By the second ground, the applicant seeks annulment of the decision, alleging infringement of legal provisions and misuse of power, including as a result of manifest error of assessment, and infringement of the principle of proportionality, since the Commission amended the commitments given by Newscorp in Case COMP/M.2876 on the incorrect assumption that the fact that Sky Italia was not to participate in the next procedure for the allocation of terrestrial digital frequencies would preclude it from engaging in free-to-air television broadcasting in Italy. It is submitted in this connection that, on the contrary, Sky Italia is already active in free-to-air television broadcasting in Italy, broadcasts on digital terrestrial frequencies and will be able to acquire transmission capacity even if the commitments in question are not amended.
By the third ground, the applicant seeks annulment of the decision, alleging infringement of legal provisions and manifest error of assessment, since the Commission amended the commitments given by Newscorp in Case COMP/M.2876 at the request of Sky Italia, notwithstanding the fact that the replies received during the investigation into the market which took place during the administrative procedure — including those sent by Italian public bodies — gave clear indications of the negative impact which the amendment of the commitments in question would have in terms of competition at national level.
