      Form of order sought
   
   The applicant claims that the Court should:
   
               —
            
            
               join the present action to Case T-539/12;
            
         
               —
            
            
               declare the present action admissible and well-founded;
            
         
               —
            
            
               hold that the European Union has incurred non-contractual liability as regards the applicant;
            
         
               —
            
            
               order the European Union to pay the applicant the sum of EUR 112 872,50 per year from 11 March 2008, together with interest until payment in full;
            
         
               —
            
            
               order the European Union to pay the costs.
            
         
      Pleas in law and main arguments
   
   The damage in respect of which the applicant seeks compensation from the European Union concerns the loss of earnings which it claims to have suffered since the adoption of the Commission’s decision of 11 March 2008 in Case COMP/38.543 — International removal services as a result of the practice of European Union officials to request cover quotes in the context of removals the costs of which are reimbursed in accordance with the status of European Union officials has not ceased. The applicant’s refusal to respond favourably to such requests has the effect of removing it from the markets concerned, to the extent that it no longer supplies removal services to more than a very limited number of officials of the European institutions. It is a failure on the part of the European Union to fulfil its duty of care which is the cause of the loss thus suffered by the applicant.
