Pleas in law and main arguments

In support of the action, the applicant relies on four pleas in law.






1.


First plea in law, alleging a breach of the rights of the defence based on, first, a failure to state reasons and failure by the Council to comply with its obligation of periodic review and, second, a lack of specific grievances.










2.


Second plea in law, alleging a failure to state reasons based on the absence of new factual elements that have been duly established and the lack of a statement of reasons;










3.


Third plea in law, alleging an error of assessment. In the first place, the applicant submits that the Council failed to provide sufficient evidence by not relying on sufficiently concrete, precise, and consistent evidence. In the second place, the applicant argues that the Council cannot claim material support for the war effort or the Government of the Russian Federation since the applicant neither manufactures nor distributes tyres. In the third place, the applicant states that the Council fails to demonstrate the continuation of the circumstances that led to both the adoption and the maintenance of the restrictive measures and, in the fourth place, that the Council provides no relevant evidence capable of justifying the inclusion or continued inclusion of the applicant’s name on the contested lists. Finally, in the fifth place, the Council has made several errors of law affecting the legality of the relevant acts.










4.


Fourth plea in law, alleging a breach of the principle of proportionality.
