Parties


Applicant: Pedro Germán Amador López (Barcelona, Spain) (represented by A. Falcón Morales, lawyer)

Defendant: Office for Harmonisation in the Internal Market (Trade Marks and Designs)

Form of order sought

The applicant requests the General Court to find the present application and the accompanying documents to be duly lodged and admissible, to take note that an action has been brought against the Decision of 23 March 2011 of the Second Board of Appeal of the Office for Harmonisation in the Internal Market (OHIM), partially dismissing the appeal in Case R 1665/2010-2, and, consequently, to annul the said decision.

Language of the case: French

Parties


Applicant: Mathieu Kadio Morokro (Cocody, Côte d'Ivoire) (represented by: S. Le Damany, lawyer)

Defendant: Council of the European Union

Form of order sought

The applicant claims that the Court should:






—


Annul Council Decision 2011/221/CFSP of 6 April 2011, (1) and Council Regulation (EU) No 330/2011 of 6 April 2011, (2) in so far as they concern him,










—


Order the Council of the European Union to pay all the costs.





Pleas in law and main arguments

In support of his action, the applicant raises a plea alleging an infringement of the duty to state reasons in so far as the contested decision and regulation infringe Article 296 TFEU, pursuant to which legal acts of the European Union institutions must state the reasons on which they are based. The applicant submits, first, that the statement of reasons does not clarify why he was included on the list of persons, in the annex to the decision and the regulation, against whom certain restrictive measures were imposed and, second, that that failure to state reasons deprives him of the possibility to properly challenge the restrictive measures imposed on him.


(1)  Council Decision 2011/221/CFSP of 6 April 2011, amending Decision 2010/656/CFSP renewing the restrictive measures against Côte d’Ivoire (OJ 2011 L 93, p. 20).

(2)  Council Regulation (EU) No 330/2011 of 6 April 2011, amending Regulation (EC) No 560/2005 imposing certain specific restrictive measures directed against certain persons and entities in view of the situation in Côte d'Ivoire (OJ 2011 L 93, p. 10).

Defendant: Republic of Finland

Form of order sought







—


declare that, by applying, in Paragraph 80 of Law on value added tax (1501/1993), the special scheme for travel agents to travel services sold to persons other than travellers, the Republic of Finland has failed to fulfil its obligations under Articles 306 to 310 of Council Directive 2006/112/EC of 28 November 2006 on the common system of value added tax (1);










—


order Republic of Finland to pay the costs.





Pleas in law and main arguments

The Commission observes that the special scheme for travel agents in Directive 2006/112/EC of 28 November 2006 on the common system of value added tax is to be applied only when travel services are sold to travellers. The Republic of Finland has infringed that directive by applying the special scheme for travel agents to services which travel agencies supply to one another or to tour operators.
