| --- | --- |
| — | Annul the decision of EUIPO to reject the applicant’s requests of 01/03/2024 for access to the written exams in several online selection procedures (during the COVID-19 restrictions) pursuant to Regulation (EC) No 1049/2001; [(1)](#ntr1-C_202404973EN.000101-E0001) |

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| — | Order EUIPO to pay the procedural costs. |

Pleas in law and main arguments

In support of the action, the applicant relies on a single plea in law, alleging that EUIPO breached its obligation of complying with Articles 2(1), 7(1) and 8(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1049/2001.

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| — | The applicant backs his claim especially by submitting that the EUIPO did not reply to his two requests for access to documents and not even acknowledge their receipt, and that EUIPO also did not reply (and also not acknowledge receipt) to his two corresponding confirmatory applications, thus breaching its obligation under Article 2(1) and its obligations under Articles 7(1) and 8(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1049/2001. |
