Questions referred







1.


In order to ensure the effectiveness of EU law and not to render it impossible to benefit from the right to family reunification which, in the second applicant’s submission, is conferred on her by Article 4 of Council Directive 2003/86/EC of 22 September 2003 on the right to family reunification, (1) must that provision be interpreted as meaning that the sponsor’s child may enjoy the right to family reunification when he attains his majority during the judicial proceedings against the decision which refuses him that right and which was taken when he was still a minor?










2.


Must Article 47 of the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union and Article 18 of Directive 2003/86/EC be interpreted as precluding an action for annulment, brought against the refusal of a right to family reunification of a minor child, being held to be inadmissible on the ground that the child has attained his majority during the judicial proceedings, since he would be deprived of the possibility of securing a determination of his action against that decision and there would be a breach of his right to an effective remedy?

Other parties to the proceedings: European Commission, Foreign Strategic Investments Holding (FSIH)

Form of order sought

The appellants submit that the Court should:






—


Set aside the judgment of the General Court of 11 December 2018, BTB Holding Investments and Duferco Participations Holding v Commission (T-100/17);










—


Refer the case back to the General Court;










—


Order the defendant to pay the costs of these proceedings and the costs of the proceedings before the General Court.





Grounds of appeal and main arguments

By their appeal against judgment T-100/17, the appellants submit that, in the judgment under appeal, the General Court infringed their right to a fair hearing when it stated that, ‘in order to establish that the Commission made a manifest error in the [complex economic] assessment of the facts justifying the annulment of the contested decision, the evidence adduced by the applicant must be sufficient to make the assessment of the facts in the decision at issue implausible’. The appellants submit that, in particular, the General Court infringed the principles relating to the burden of proof and the principle of equality of arms.
