Action brought on 31 December 2013 — Mikhalchanka v Council
(Case T-693/13)
2014/C 93/42
Language of the case: French

Parties


Applicant: Aliaksei Mikhalchanka (Minsk, Belarus) (represented by: M. Michalauskas, lawyer)

Defendant: Council of the European Union

Form of order sought

The applicant claims that the General Court should:






—


annul Council Decision 2013/534/CFSP of 29 October 2013 amending Decision 2012/642/CFSP concerning restrictive measures against Belarus, in so far as it concerns the applicant;










—


annul Council Implementing Regulation (EU) No 1054/2013 of 29 October 2013 implementing Article 8a(1) of Regulation (EC) No 765/2006 concerning restrictive measures in respect of Belarus, in so far as it concerns the applicant;










—


order the Council to pay the costs.





Pleas in law and main arguments

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






1.


First plea in law, alleging infringement of the rights of defence, since the prior inter partes procedure was not respected by the Council.










2.


Second plea in law, alleging insufficient reasoning, since the reasons for the measures do not allow the applicant to contest their validity before the General Court and the latter to exercise its review of their lawfulness.










3.


Third plea in law, alleging an error of assessment, in so far as the contested measure lacks all factual justification.










4.


Fourth plea in law, alleging infringement of the principle of proportionality in particular with regard to the restriction on entry into, and transit through, the territory of the European Union.

Notice concerning a request pursuant to Article 30 of Directive 2004/17/EC
Request from a contracting entity
2013/C 382/08
On 21 November 2013, the Commission received a request under 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 (1). The first working day following receipt of the request is 22 November 2013.
This request, made by Magyar Posta Zrt., concerns certain postal services carried out in Hungary. Article 30 provides that the Directive does not apply where the activity in question is directly exposed to competition on markets to which access is not limited. 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 3 months, as from the working day referred to above, within which to take a decision on this request. The period therefore ends on 24 February 2014.
This period may be extended by 3 months. Notice of any such extension must be published.
Pursuant to the second subparagraph of Article 30(6), further requests concerning the same activities in Hungary, submitted before the period opened for this request expires, will not be regarded as subject to new procedures and will be dealt with as part of this request.
