Action brought on 3 August 2011 — Afriqiyah Airways v Council
(Case T-436/11)
2011/C 290/20
Language of the case: French

Parties


Applicant: Afriqiyah Airways (Tripoli, Libya) (represented by: B. Sarfati, lawyer)

Defendant: Council of the European Union

Form of order sought

Annulment of Council Implementing Decision 2011/300/CFSP of 23 May 2011 implementing Decision 2011/137/CFSP concerning restrictive measures in view of the situation in Libya (OJ 2011 L 136, p. 85), together with Annex II to that decision;
Order that the Council pay all the costs.

Pleas in law and main arguments

In support of the action, the applicant relies on five pleas in law.






1.


First plea in law, alleging that the procedure for adopting the measure was irregular. The applicant pleads that the procedure concerning the adoption of the contested decision provided for by Article 8(2) of Council Decision 2011/137/CFSP of 28 February 2011 concerning restrictive measures in view of the situation in Libya (OJ 2011 L 58, p. 53) was irregular, and relies on breach of the provisions of the second paragraph of Article 296 TFEU.










2.


Second plea in law, alleging infringement of the obligation to state the reasons for the decision. The applicant criticises the Council for providing a stereotype statement of reasons, which did not enable the addressee of the decision to understand the reasons for its adoption, nor the General Court to exercise its judicial review of the measure’s legality. The ground that the applicant is a subsidiary of and owned by the Libyan African Investment Portfolio, an entity itself covered by the restrictive measures, is insufficient.










3.


Third plea in law, alleging infringement of the rights of the defence on the ground that it was not established that the rights of the defence were respected or that the applicant was put in a position to assert its rights prior to its inclusion on the list.










4.


Fourth plea in law, alleging breach of Article 27 TEU. The applicant claims that Decision 2011/137/CFSP referred to in paragraph 2 and Council Decision 2011/178/CFSP of 23 March 2011 amending Decision 2011/137/CFSP concerning restrictive measures in view of the situation in Libya (OJ 2011 L 78, p. 24), were adopted in breach of Article 27(1) TEU.










5.


Fifth plea in law, alleging error of law and manifest error of assessment on the ground that the applicant is a civil airline carrying passengers and freight, whereas the contested decision has the effect of freezing the applicant’s assets on the sole ground that it is the property of the Libyan State, through an investment fund.

Notice concerning a request pursuant to Article 30 of Directive 2004/17/EC
Request from a contracting entity
2011/C 228/09
On 19 July 2011 the Commission received a request pursuant to Article 30(5) of Directive 2004/17/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 31 March 2004 coordinating the procurement procedures of entities operating in the water, energy, transport and postal services sectors. The first working day following receipt of the request is 20 July 2011.
The request, made by RWE Gas Storage, concerns gas storage in the Czech Republic. Article 30 provides that Directive 2004/17/EC does not apply where the activity in question is directly exposed to competition on markets to which access is not restricted. These conditions are evaluated solely for the purposes of Directive 2004/17/EC and are without prejudice to the application of competition rules.
The Commission has a period of three months, as from the working day referred to above, within which to take a decision on this request. The period therefore ends on 20 October 2011.
This period may be extended by three months. Notice of any such extension must be published.
In accordance with the second subparagraph of Article 30(6), further requests concerning exploration for and extraction of oil and gas in the Czech Republic submitted before the expiry of the period opened in respect of this request shall not be considered as new procedures and shall be treated in the context of this request.
