Action brought on 11 June 2013 — Pappalardo and Others v Commission
(Case T-316/13)
(2013/C 226/33)
Language of the case: Italian

Parties


Applicants: Salvatore Aniello Pappalardo (Cetara, Italy), Pescatori La Tonnara Soc. coop. (Cetara); Fedemar Srl (Cetara); Testa Giuseppe E C. Snc (Catania, Italy); Pescatori San Pietro Apostolo Srl (Cetara); Camplone Arnaldo & C. Snc di Camplone Arnaldo EC (Pescara, Italy); and Valentino Pesca Sas di Camplone Arnaldo & C. (Pescara) (represented by: V. Cannizzarro and L. Caroli, lawyers)

Defendant: European Commission

Form of order sought

The applicant claims that the Court should:






—


declare that the Commission is non-contractually liable for the damage caused by the adoption of Commission Regulation (EC) No 530/2008 of 12 June 2008 establishing emergency measures as regards purse seiners fishing for bluefin tuna in the Atlantic Ocean, east of longitude 45 W, and in the Mediterranean Sea, which was declared invalid by the Court of Justice in its judgment of 17 March 2011 in Case C-221/09; and










—


as a result, order the European Commission to provide compensation in respect of the damage caused;










—


order the European Commission to pay the costs.





Pleas in law and main arguments

The applicants in the present case claim that the non-contractual liability in question results from the fact that, by Regulation No 530/2008, the Commission had unlawfully prohibited vessels flying the flag of or registered in Greece, France, Italy, Cyprus and Malta from the fishing for bluefin tuna starting from 16 June 2008, even though a similar prohibition was imposed on vessels flying the flag of or registered in Spain only from 23 June 2008.
According to the applicants, in the present case, all the necessary requirements are met for the European institutions to be found liable as a result of their legislative activity: there is a serious breach of a rule protecting individuals; there is actual harm and there is a causal link between that conduct and the alleged damage.
They note, in that regard, that Regulation No 530/2008 has been declared wholly invalid by the Court of Justice for breaching the principle of non-discrimination and that, according to settled case-law, the breach of that principle is considered as one of the serious breaches of a superior rule of law which is designed to protect individuals.

Defendants: Council of the European Union

Form of order sought

The applicants claim that the Court should:






—


Annul, as far as it concerns the applicants, Council Decision 2013/144/CFSP of 21 March 2013 amending Decision 2011/172/CFSP concerning restrictive measures directed against certain persons, entities and bodies in view of the situation in Egypt (OJ 2013 L 82, p. 54);










—


Erase the allegations that each applicant is responsible for the misappropriation of State funds and subject to judicial investigation in Egypt; and










—


Order the defendant to bear the applicants’ costs.





Pleas in law and main arguments

In support of the action, the applicants rely on five pleas in law.






1.


First plea in law, alleging that the Council has failed to give adequate or sufficient reasons for including either of the applicants in the 2013 Measures.










2.


Second plea in law, alleging that the Council manifestly erred in considering that the listing criterion was fulfilled as regards either of the applicants, as far as there is no legal or factual basis for their designation.










3.


Third plea in law, alleging that the Council violated its data protection obligations according to the Data Protection Regulation (EC) No 45/2001 (1) and to the Data Protection Directive 95/46/EC (2).










4.


Fourth plea in law, alleging that the Council has failed to safeguard the applicants’ rights to defence and to effective judicial review.










5.


Fifth plea in law, alleging that the Council has infringed, without justification or proportion, the applicants’ fundamental rights, including their right to protection of their property, business, and reputation.
