Appeal brought on 20 June 2014 by Risto Nieminen against the judgment of the Civil Service Tribunal of 10 April 2014 in Case F-81/12, Nieminen v Council

(Case T-464/14 P)
2014/C 261/71
Language of the case: French

Parties


Appellant: Risto Nieminen (Kraainem, Belgium) (represented by M. de Abreu Caldas, D. de Abreu Caldas and J.-N. Louis, lawyers)

Other party to the proceedings: Council of the European Union

Form of order sought by the appellant

The appellant claims that the Court should:






—


set aside the judgment of the Civil Service Tribunal of the European Union (Second Chamber) of 10 April 2014 in Case F-81/12 (Risto Nieminen v Council);










—


order the Council to pay the costs of both sets of proceedings





Pleas in law and main arguments

The appellant relies on two grounds of appeal.






1.


First ground of appeal: infringement of the rights of the defence, in so far as the Civil Service Tribunal found that the appellant had failed to adduce sufficient evidence to show that there had been a manifest error of assessment, even though it was aware that the appellant was not really in a position to do so and despite its refusal to compel the defendant at first instance to produce all the documents relevant for the purposes of determining whether that plea was well founded.










2.


Second ground of appeal: distortion of the evidence and the facts.

The business activities of the undertakings concerned are:
—   Cargill: is a privately held company active in the international production and marketing of food, and agricultural and risk management products and services,
