Action brought on 30 April 2014 — Mabrouk v Council
(Case T-277/14)
2014/C 194/44
Language of the case: English

Parties


Applicant: Mohamed Marouen Ben Ali Bel Ben Mohamed Mabrouk (Carthage, Tunisia) (represented by: J. Farthouat, J. Mignard, N. Boulay, lawyers, and S. Crosby, Solicitor)

Defendant: Council of the European Union

Form of order sought

The applicant claims that the Court should:






—


Declare that the defendant has infringed Article 265 TFUE by failing to act upon the request of the applicant of 17 January 2014, of which it acknowledged receipt, to disclose the evidence upon which it relies to freeze the assets of the applicant in the European Union; and










—


Order the defendant to pay the costs.





Pleas in law and main arguments

In support of the action, the applicant relies on one plea in law.
The applicant alleges that the defendant is under a legal duty to disclose to the applicant the evidence upon which it relies to freeze the applicant’s assets, and that the defendant was formally called upon to disclose this evidence and was thus fully called upon to act. It has not acted either by disclosing the evidence or by refusing to do so, and it has thus infringed Article 265 TFEU.

Base rates calculated in accordance with the Communication from the Commission on the revision of the method for setting the reference and discount rates (OJ C 14, 19.1.2008, p. 6.).

For the discount rate this means that a margin of 100 basispoints has to be added. The Commission Regulation (EC) No 271/2008 of 30 January 2008 amending Regulation (EC) No 794/2004 foresees that, unless otherwise provided for in a specific decision, the recovery rate will also be calculated by adding 100 basispoints to the base rate.
Modified rates are indicated in bold.
