Parties to the main proceedings


Applicant: IG

Defendant: Varhoven administrativen sad

Questions referred







1.


Does the amendment of a provision of a national normative legal act previously declared by a court of appeal to be incompatible with an applicable provision of EU law relieve the Court of Cassation of the obligation to examine the provision applicable prior to the amendment and accordingly to assess whether it is compatible with EU law?










2.


Does the presumption that the provision at issue has been withdrawn constitute an effective remedy with regard to rights and freedoms guaranteed by EU law (in casu, Articles 9 and 10 of Directive 2012/27/EU), (1) or does the possibility provided for in national law to examine whether the national provision in question was compatible with EU law before it was amended constitute such a remedy if it exists only if the competent court is seised of a specific action for damages on account of that provision and only in relation to the person who brought the action?










3.


If Question 2 is answered in the affirmative, is it permissible for the provision in question to continue to regulate, during the period between its adoption and its amendment, legal relationships in respect of an unlimited group of persons who have not brought actions for damages on account of that provision, or for the assessment of the compatibility of the national rule with the EU law provision in respect of the period prior to the amendment not to have been carried out in relation to those persons?

Action brought on 5 May 2021 — Varabei v Council
(Case T-245/21)
(2021/C 252/39)
Language of the case: English

Parties


Applicant: Mikalai Mikalevich Varabei (Novopolotsk, Belarus) (represented by: G. Kremslehner, H. Kühnert, lawyers, and M. Lester QC)

Defendant: Council of the European Union

Form of order sought

The applicant claims that the Court should:






—


annul with immediate effect Council Decision (CFSP) 2021/353 of 25 February 2021 amending Decision 2012/642/CFSP concerning restrictive measures against Belarus (1) and Council Implementing Regulation (EU) 2021/339 of 25 February 2021 implementing Article 8a of Regulation (EC) No 765/2006 concerning restrictive measures in respect of Belarus (2).










—


order the Council to bear its own costs and to pay the costs of the Applicant.





Pleas in law and main arguments

In support of the action, the applicant relies on one plea in law alleging manifest errors of assessment. The applicant invokes that the Council has not explained how the applicant’s business interests demonstrate either that the applicant benefits from or that that he supports the Lukashenka regime. To the contrary, the applicant's interests in the petroleum, coal transit and banking sectors are not of a type or magnitude that would indicate that the applicant supports or benefits from the regime in any way.
In addition, the applicant claims that his listing cannot be sustained on the basis that he is the co-owner of Bremino Group. The latter has not received any selective tax benefits nor other forms of support from the Belarusian administration.
