      Pleas in law and main arguments
   
   In the present case the applicant seeks the annulment of the defendant’s decision to reject its bid submitted in response to a call for an open tender for services of electronic publications (AO 10224) (Lot 2) and to award the contract to the successful contractor (Lot 2 and 3). The applicant further requests compensation for the alleged damages in account of the tender procedure.
   In support of its claims the applicant puts forward two pleas in law.
   First, the applicant argues that the defendant committed various and manifest errors of assessment and that it refused to provide sufficient justification or explanation to the applicant in breach of the financial regulation (2) and its implementing rules as well as in breach of directive 2004/18/EC (3) and of Article 253 EC.
   Second, it contends that the defendant committed manifest errors of assessment and failed to state reasons in respect of the applicant’s bid as the negative considerations given by evaluation committee were vague, unsubstantiated wrong and unfounded.
