Questions referred







1.


Does Article 8 of Regulation (EC) No 141/2000 (1) grant the holder of one or more indication-specific marketing authorisations for an orphan medicinal product a subjective legal position under civil law in the form of a right to market exclusivity, which the holder of market exclusivity may assert in civil proceedings against third parties if they interfere with the legal position?










2.


If Question 1 is answered in the negative: Does Regulation (EC) No 141/2000, according to its overall objective, as reflected in particular in recital 8 of the regulation, grant the holder of one or more indication-specific marketing authorisations for an orphan medicinal product, over and above the prohibition on processing and authorisation by an authority laid down in Article 8 of that regulation, a subjective legal position under civil law in the form of a right to market exclusivity, which the holder of market exclusivity may assert in civil proceedings against third parties if they interfere with the legal position?










3.


If Question 1 or 2 is answered in the affirmative: Do the claims of the holder of such a subjective civil-law right of market exclusivity in the event of interference with that legal position by third parties arise directly from EU law or are their scope and form governed by national law?

(Case C-817/24 P)

Language of the case: English

Parties


Appellant: Ivan Ivanovich Golovaty (represented by: E. Anevlavi, dikigoros)

Other parties to the proceedings: Council of the European Union, Republic of Latvia

Form of order sought

The appellant claims that the Court should:






—


set aside the judgment under appeal;










—


annul Council Implementing Decision (CFSP) 2022/881 of 3 June 2022 implementing Decision 2012/642/CFSP concerning restrictive measures in view of the situation in Belarus and the involvement of Belarus in the Russian aggression against Ukraine (1) and Council Implementing Regulation (EU) 2022/876 of 3 June 2022 implementing Article 8a(1) of Regulation (EC) No 765/2006 concerning restrictive measures in view of the situation in Belarus and the involvement of Belarus in the Russian aggression against Ukraine (2), and subsequent maintaining Council Decision (CFSP) 2023/421 of 24 February 2023 amending Decision 2012/642 (3) and Council Implementing Regulation (EU) 2023/419 of 24 February 2023 implementing Article 8a of Regulation (EC) No 765/2006 concerning restrictive measures in view of the situation in Belarus and the involvement of Belarus in the Russian aggression against Ukraine (4), insofar as the appellant is concerned;










—


order the Council to bear the costs incurred both in the proceedings before the General Court and the present appeal proceedings.





Pleas in law and main arguments

The appellant relies on two grounds of appeal.
First, the General Court erred in law by failing to properly apply the principle of legal certainty with respect to the term ‘Lukashenko regime’ and committing an error of assessment in this regard.
Second, the General Court erred in assessing that the Council had sufficiently proven the appellant’s responsibility for the repression of civil society in Belarus.
