(Case T-157/12)
2012/C 184/27
Language of the case: French

Parties


Applicant: IFP Energies nouvelles (Rueil-Malmaison, France) (represented by: É. Morgan de Rivery and A. Noël-Baron, lawyers)

Defendant: European Commission

Form of order sought







—


annul Commission Decision C(2011) 4483 final of 29 June 2011 relating to State aid No NN C 35/2008 (ex NN 11/2008) granted by France to the public body, the Institut Français du Pétrole (French Petroleum Institute; ‘IFP’), in its entirety.










—


order the Commission to pay 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 error in law, in that the Commission exceeded the limits on its powers to interpret national law under the legislation governing State aid.










2.


Second plea in law, alleging failure by the Commission to establish the existence of a real economic advantage conferred on the applicant and its private-law subsidiaries.










3.


Third plea in law, alleging infringement of Article 107 TFEU, in that the reference in the contested decision to the 2008 Commission Notice on guarantees (1) is not in itself sufficient to establish the existence of an economic advantage.










4.


Fourth plea in law, alleging manifest errors of assessment in the determination of the alleged advantage and the intensity of the presumed State aid.










5.


Fifth plea in law, alleging infringement of the principle of proportionality, first, in making the creation of an industrial and commercial public body (EPIC) subject to an obligation of prior notification and, second, in imposing overly restrictive conditions.

Notice concerning anti-dumping measures on imports of silico-manganese originating in, inter alia, Kazakhstan
2012/C 102/15
By its judgment of 30 November 2011 in Case T-107/08, the General Court of the European Union annulled Article 1 of Council Regulation (EC) No 1420/2007 (1) of 4 December 2007 imposing a definitive anti-dumping duty on imports of silico-manganese originating in the People’s Republic of China and Kazakhstan and terminating the proceeding on imports of silico-manganese originating in Ukraine in so far as that Article applies to imports of silico-manganese produced by Transnational Company ‘Kazchrome’ AO.
Consequently, the definitive anti-dumping duties paid pursuant to Article 1 of Council Regulation (EC) No 1420/2007 on imports into the European Union of silico-manganese (including ferro-silico-manganese) currently falling within CN codes 7202 30 00 and ex 8111 00 11 (TARIC code 8111001110) manufactured by Transnational Company ‘Kazchrome’ AO, should be repaid or remitted. The repayment or remission must be requested from national customs authorities in accordance with applicable customs legislation.
As a consequence of the judgment of 30 November 2011, Transnational Company ‘Kazchrome’ AO (TARIC additional code B271) is no longer subject to the anti-dumping measures imposed by Council Regulation (EC) No 1420/2007.

Appeal brought on 5 April 2012 by EI du Pont de Nemours and Company against the judgment of the General Court (Seventh Chamber) delivered on 2 February 2012 in Case T-76/08: EI du Pont de Nemours and Company and others v European Commission
(Case C-172/12 P)
2012/C 194/16
Language of the case: English

Parties


Appellant: EI du Pont de Nemours and Company (represented by: J. Boyce, A. Lyle-Smythe, Solicitors)

Other parties to the proceedings: DuPont Performance Elastomers LLC, DuPont Performance Elastomers SA, European Commission

Form of order sought

The appellant claims that the Court should:






—


set aside the judgment of the General Court in Case T-76/08 insofar as it upheld the Commission's finding that the Appellant was a party to the infringement and liable to pay a fine;










—


order the Commission to pay the costs of the present proceedings.





Pleas in law and main arguments

The appellant’s grounds of appeal are that the General Court erred in law in finding that the appellant was liable for infringements by DuPont Dow Elastomers (‘DDE’). Insofar as the appellant is successful on this ground of appeal, it follows that:






—


as regards the period prior to the establishment of DDE (when the chloroprene rubber business had been owned by the appellant) the General Court erred in law in not ruling that the Commission was time-barred from imposing a fine on the appellant in respect of participation by its subsidiaries, and










—


in circumstances where the Commission was time-barred from imposing a fine and failed to demonstrate a legitimate interest for issuing a decision against the appellant, the General Court erred in law in ruling that the appellant was liable for participation by its subsidiaries in the period prior to the establishment of DDE.
