      Form of order sought
   
   The applicant claims that the Court should:
   
               —
            
            
               annul the decision of the European Commission of 31 July 2017 in Case SA.47969, C(2017)5289 — Hahn Airport;
            
         
               —
            
            
               order the defendant to pay the costs of the proceedings.
            
         
      Pleas in law and main arguments
   
   In support of the action, the applicant alleges, in essence, the following:
   
               —
            
            
               procedural errors, as the defendant made a ‘deal’ with the Federal Republic of Germany with regard to the assessment of the aid granted to Flughafen Frankfurt-Hahn GmbH (‘FFHG’) and Ryanair;
            
         
               —
            
            
               failure to take into account certain essential factual elements, despite the fact that the defendant was fully aware of these at the time when the contested decision was adopted;
            
         
               —
            
            
               partially incorrect representation of the facts of the case;
            
         
               —
            
            
               failure to take into account other aid in favour of FFHG that was ultimately passed on to Ryanair as the principal user of the airport.
