Action brought on 11 October 2023 — Kaili v Parliament
(Case T-1031/23)
(C/2023/1172)
Language of the case: English

Parties


Applicant: Eva Kaili (Ixelles, Belgium) (represented by: S. Pappas, D.-A. Pappa and A. Pappas, lawyers)

Defendant: European Parliament

Form of order sought

The applicant claims that the Court should:






—


annul the decision of 31 July 2023 of the Vice-President of the European Parliament rejecting, according to Regulation (EC) No 1049/2001, (1) the applicant’s confirmatory application for public access to documents concerning irregularities in the management, by Members of Parliament, of the allowances of accredited parliamentary assistants;










—


order the defendant to bear its costs as well as the applicant’s costs for the current proceedings.





Pleas in law and main arguments

In support of the action, the applicant relies on a single plea in law, alleging infringement of Article 4(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1049/2001. More specifically, this plea is divided in two alternative branches.






—


By the first branch, it is argued that disclosure of the requested documents does not undermine the protection of the proceedings in General Court case T-46/23. This branch is further sub-divided into two arguments. First, that disclosure of the requested documents does not undermine the sound administration of justice in the General Court case T-46/23. Second, that disclosure of the requested documents does not undermine the principle of equality of arms.










—


By the second branch, it is argued that, in any event, there is an overriding public interest in disclosure.

Notice concerning the application of a system to register Ghanaian exporters for the purpose of making out origin declarations for exports from Ghana to the European Union under the EU-Ghana stepping-stone Economic Partnership Agreement
(C/2023/173)

This notice is issued for the information of customs authorities, importers and economic operators, which are involved in imports into the European Union of products originating in Ghana under the EU-Ghana stepping-stone Economic Partnership Agreement (the ‘EPA’).
Complementing the notice 2023/C 245/06 of 12 July 2023
          (1), Ghana has notified the European Commission that, to benefit from the preferential access provided for by the EU-Ghana EPA, exporters from Ghana eligible to make out origin declarations shall obtain an Exporter Registration Number through the Ghana Revenue Authority’s Integrated Customs Management System (ICUMS).
Consequently, and without prejudice to the exemptions laid down in Articles 17(4) and 26 of Protocol 1, as from 20 August 2023
          products originating in Ghana shall, on importation into the EU, benefit from the preferential tariff treatment of the EPA upon submission of an origin declaration made out, as provided for in Article 21 of Protocol 1, by:






(i)


an exporter from Ghana registered in the Ghanaian ICUMS website, or










(ii)


any exporter from Ghana, for any consignment consisting of one or more packages containing originating products whose total value does not exceed EUR 6 000.




In accordance with Articles 17(2)(b) and 21(4) the exporter shall make out the origin declaration by typing, stamping or printing the text which appears in Annex IV to Protocol No 1 to the EU-Ghana EPA on the invoice, the delivery note or another commercial document which describes the products concerned in sufficient detail to enable them to be identified.
