Action brought on 17 August 2011 — Valeo Vision v Commission
(Case T-457/11)
2011/C 298/51
Language of the case: French

Parties


Applicant: Valeo Vision (Bobigny, France) (represented by: R. Ledru, lawyer)

Defendant: European Commission

Form of order sought

The applicant claims that the Court should:






—


Annul in its entirety Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 603/2011 of 20 June 2011 concerning the classification of certain goods in the Combined Nomenclature;










—


Order the European Commission to pay the costs.





Pleas in law and main arguments

In support of the action, the applicant relies on one plea in law, alleging infringement of the rules of classification in the Combined Nomenclature in so far as the applicant considers that the general rules for interpretation Nos 1, 3(a), 3(b), 3(c) and 6; note No 2(a) of Section XVI; and note No 8 of Chapter 85 of the Combined Nomenclature mean, first, that an ‘LED electronic card’ should be classified under heading 8541 or, in the alternative, under heading 8542 of the Combined Nomenclature and, secondly, that its classification under heading 8512 should be precluded. The applicant disputes, first, the Commission’s statement of reasons and classification and submits, secondly, that the statement of the reasons on which the classification regulation is based is unfounded and has no legal basis.
