      Form of order sought
   
   The applicant claims that the Court should:
   
               —
            
            
               Annul Council Decision 2011/221/CFSP of 6 April 2011, (1) and Council Regulation (EU) No 330/2011 of 6 April 2011, (2) in so far as they concern him,
            
         
               —
            
            
               Order the Council of the European Union to pay all the costs.
            
         
      Pleas in law and main arguments
   
   In support of his action, the applicant raises a plea alleging an infringement of the duty to state reasons in so far as the contested decision and regulation infringe Article 296 TFEU, pursuant to which legal acts of the European Union institutions must state the reasons on which they are based. The applicant submits, first, that the statement of reasons does not clarify why he was included on the list of persons, in the annex to the decision and the regulation, against whom certain restrictive measures were imposed and, second, that that failure to state reasons deprives him of the possibility to properly challenge the restrictive measures imposed on him.
   
      (1)  Council Decision 2011/221/CFSP of 6 April 2011, amending Decision 2010/656/CFSP renewing the restrictive measures against Côte d’Ivoire (OJ 2011 L 93, p. 20).
   
      (2)  Council Regulation (EU) No 330/2011 of 6 April 2011, amending Regulation (EC) No 560/2005 imposing certain specific restrictive measures directed against certain persons and entities in view of the situation in Côte d'Ivoire (OJ 2011 L 93, p. 10).
