The applicants claim that the Court should:






—


set aside the Order under appeal;










—


decide that the Application at first instance is well-founded and annul the Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2020/389 (1) insofar as it applies to the Appellants; and










—


order the Commission to pay the costs of both the appeal proceedings and the proceedings before the General Court.





Pleas in law and main arguments

The appellants claim that the Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2020/389 should have been considered a definitive act on the day it was adopted and not on the day of its entry into force, which was subject to absence of Parliament’s or Council’s objections. As such, this regulation was open to challenge even before the date of its publication. The appellants therefore consider that the General Court wrongly applied the Court’s case law concerning acts that are not open to challenge.
