Question referred

Is Council Implementing Regulation (EU) No 158/2013 of 18 February 2013 re-imposing a definitive anti-dumping duty on imports of certain prepared or preserved citrus fruits (namely mandarins, etc.) originating in the People’s Republic of China (1) valid, even though it was based not on an independent anti-dumping investigation carried out shortly before its adoption but on the continuation of an anti-dumping investigation which had at that time already been carried out in respect of the period from 1 October 2006 to 30 September 2007, the conduct of which, however, the Court of Justice of the European Union, in its judgment of 22 May 2012 in GLS C-338/10, (2) held to have infringed the requirements of Council Regulation (EC) No 384/96 of 22 December 1995 on protection against dumped imports from countries not members of the European Community, (3) as amended by Council Regulation (EC) No 2117/2005 of 21 December 2005 amending Regulation (EC) No 384/96 on protection against dumped imports from countries not members of the European Community, (4) with the consequence that the Court, in that judgment, declared Council Regulation (EC) No 1355/2008 of 18 December 2008 imposing a definitive anti-dumping duty and collecting definitively the provisional duty imposed on imports of certain prepared or preserved citrus fruits (namely mandarins, etc.) originating in the People’s Republic of China, (5) adopted on the basis of that investigation, to be invalid?

2014/C 303/42
Language of the case: English

Parties


Applicant: Viscas Corporation (Tokyo, Japan) (represented by: J.-F. Bellis, lawyer)

Defendant: European Commission

Form of order sought

The applicant claims that the Court should:






—


annul the contested decision insofar as it finds an infringement covering the period 1 October 2001 through 28 January 2009;










—


annul or reduce the amount of the fine imposed; and










—


order the Commission to bear the costs.





Pleas in law and main arguments

By its present action, the applicant seeks the annulment, in part, of Commission Decision C(2014) 2139 final of 2 April 2014 in case AT.39610 — Power Cables.
In support of the action, the applicant relies on eight pleas in law.






1.


First and second pleas in law, alleging that the Commission erred in concluding that the applicant was part of the infringement covering the period 1 October 2001 through 28 January 2009.










2.


Third and fourth pleas in law, alleging that Commission’s application of Point 18 of the Fining Guidelines (1) violates the principles of proportionality and equal protection because i) it disproportionately benefits European producers of power cables and ii) it fails to recognize significant differences in the weight in the infringement for different producers.










3.


Fifth plea in law, alleging that the Commission erred by allocating sales by the applicant’s shareholders to the applicant for purposes of determining the fine to be imposed.










4.


Sixth plea in law, alleging that the Commission wrongly increased the proportion of the value of sales to be taken into account based on the combined market share of the parties.










5.


Seventh plea in law, alleging that the Commission erred by failing to apply a reduction for mitigating circumstances.










6.


Eighth plea in law by which the applicant calls on the Court to rely on its unlimited jurisdiction and significantly reduce the fine.

—


order the Commission to pay the applicant’s costs pursuant to Article 87 of the Rules of Procedure of the General Court, including the costs of any intervening parties.





Pleas in law and main arguments

By its present action, the applicant seeks the annulment of the Commission’s decision to refuse access to the Commission’s Impact Assessment Report, as well as the opinion of the Impact Assessment Board regarding the revision of the EU legal framework on environmental inspections and surveillance at national and EU level.
