Planned closure of complaint CHAP (2011)3460
2013/C 15/01






1.


The European Commission has received and registered under CHAP (2011)3460 complaints, in which complainants state that as a result of having been given the wrong information by the Polish paying agency, a large number of farmers (cucumber and tomato producers) in Poland did not claim compensation for damage caused by the E. coli outbreak, as they were informed that only producers of cucumbers grown in greenhouses or polytunnels were eligible for compensation. The acknowledgement of receipt of the multiple complaint was published in OJ C 60, 29.2.2012, p. 15.










2.


The Commission services have assessed the information provided by the complainants and contacted the competent Polish authorities in order to address the points raised in their correspondence. The result of this exchange and in particular the information provided as regards the measures taken by Polish authorities responsible for implementation of Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 585/2011 of 17 June 2011 laying down temporary exceptional support measures for the fruit and vegetable sector (1) did not offer elements of facts establishing that those authorities did not comply with the regulation and consequently conditions to proceed against Poland in the context of an infringement proceeding.










3.


Notwithstanding the answer received from the Polish authorities the matter in question is subject to ongoing Commission's audit enquiries in view of Regulation (EU) No 585/2011. The information provided by the complainants will be duly taken into account in the audit enquiries.










4.


Therefore, the Commission proposes no longer to consider the complaints under the rules governing the opening of infringement procedures, but instead to close the CHAP (2011)3460 file. Complainants are invited to submit any comments within four weeks.

(Case C-28/13 P)
2013/C 101/21
Language of the case: English

Parties


Appellants: Gabi Thesing, Bloomberg Finance LP (represented by: M Stephens, R Lands, Solicitors)

Other party to the proceedings: European Central Bank

Form of order sought

The Appellants claim that the Court should:






—


quash the decision of the General Court dated 29 November 2012 in case number T-590/10. It should do so on the basis that the General Court erred in law in reaching that decision.










—


annul the decision of the European Central Bank (‘ECB’) communicated by letters dated 17 September 2010 and 21 October 2010, refusing to grant access to the documents requested by the Appellants pursuant to the Decision of the ECB of 4 March 2004 (ECB/2004/3) on public access to ECB documents (1). The Court should annul that decision on the basis that:






i)


the ECB made a manifest error of assessment and/or abused its powers in reaching that decision; and










ii)


the only lawful course was for the ECB to permit access to those documents, as requested.














—


quash the decision of the General Court insofar as it required the Appellants to pay the ECB's costs. It should do so on the basis that the General Court erred in law in reaching that decision.










—


alternatively, remit the case to the General Court for determination in accordance with the Court's ruling on the points of law raised in this appeal.





Pleas in law and main arguments

The Appellants submit that the General Court erred in law:-






—


in misconstruing Article 4.1 (a) of the decision of the European Central Bank, dated 4 March 2004 (ECB/2004/3), which provides for an exception to the general right of access conferred by Article 2 of that decision;










—


in holding that the ECB was entitled to conclude that disclosure of the documents requested by the Appellants would have undermined the economic policy of the EU and Greece;










—


in misconstruing Article 10 of the European Convention on Human Rights;










—


in failing to consider the Appellants’ contentions in relation to Article 4.2 and 4.3 of the decision of the ECB;










—


the Appellants also submit that the General Court erred in relation to costs.
