Action brought on 13 November 2010 — Cosepuri v EFSA
(Case T-532/10)
()
2011/C 30/79
Language of the case: Italian

Parties


Applicant: Cosepuri Soc. coop. p.a. (Bologna, Italy) (represented by: F. Fiorenza, lawyer)

Defendant: European Food Safety Authority (EFSA)

Form of order sought







—


Annul the refusal dated 15 September 2010 denying Cosepuri access to the documents;










—


Order EFSA to produce the classified documents;










—


Order EFSA to pay the costs.





Pleas in law and main arguments

The applicant in the present proceedings, also the applicant in Case T-339/10 Cosepuri v EFSA, (1) challenges the decision of the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) of 15 September 2010 relating to tendering procedure CFT/EFSA/FIN/2010/01 (contract notice 2010/S 51-074689) for the award of a shuttle service contract in Italy and Europe, in which the contract was awarded to another company.
By the contested decision, EFSA refused access to certain documents in the tendering procedure and in particular to documents concerning the requirements for admission and the selection of the most economically advantageous tender.
In support of its claims, the applicant alleges infringement of the relevant provisions of Council Regulation (EC) No 1605/2002 of 25 June 2002 (2) and of Regulation (EC) No 1049/2001 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 30 May 2001, (3) as well as breach of the duty to state reasons, the principle of transparency and the right of access to documents. Lastly, the applicant alleges misuse of powers.
The applicant complains, in particular, that the defendant failed to state the actual damage that the successful tenderer would suffer if access were granted to the documents requested, and that adequate reasons were not given for the partial refusal of the request, since, in the context of the tendering procedure, the information in question was comparative, included in the documents made available by the tenderers for that procedure, and accordingly outside the scope of confidential business information. In addition, the applicant requests that the present proceedings be joined with Case T-339/10 currently pending before the General Court.

New national sides of euro circulation coins
2010/C 309/04
On 13 July 2010 the Council of the European Union decided that the Republic of Estonia fulfils the necessary conditions for the adoption of the euro on 1 January 2011 (1).
From 1 January 2011 the Republic of Estonia will therefore issue euro coins, subject to the approval by the ECB of the volume of the issue (cf. Article 128(2) of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union).
Euro circulation coins have legal tender status throughout the euro area. The Commission publishes all new euro coin designs (2) with a view to informing all parties required to handle coins in the course of their work as well as the public at large.
The 10-, 20- and 50-cent coins and the 1- and 2-euro coins will be issued by the Republic of Estonia with the new common sides of the euro coins (3). The smallest denomination coins (1-, 2- and 5-cent) will be issued with the original common side, since the common side of these denominations has not been modified.



Issuing country: Republic of Estonia
Date of issue: January 2011
Description of the design: The design features at the centre a geographical image of Estonia. At the bottom, the word ‘Eesti’, which means ‘Estonia’. On the top, the year ‘2011’.
The coin’s outer ring depicts the 12 stars of the European flag.
Edge-lettering of the 2 euro coin is: ‘EESTI’ repeated two times upright and inverted.
