               —
            
            
               annul the decision adopted in the margins of the meeting of 20 November 2017 — 14559/17 of the Council of the European Union in its General Affairs formation, published by means of the press release containing the report [Outcome of the Council meeting (3579th Council meeting)], in so far as it established that Amsterdam would be the new seat of the European Medicines Agency, and, consequently, allocate that seat to the city of Milan.
            
         
      Pleas in law and main arguments
   
   The Italian Government has brought an action before the Court of Justice of the European Union against the decision, adopted in the margins of the meeting of 20 November 2017 — 14559/17 of the Council of the European Union in its General Affairs formation, published by means of the press release containing the report [Outcome of the Council meeting (3579th Council meeting)], in so far as it established that the new seat of the European Medicines Agency would be Amsterdam. In support of its action the Italian Government has put forward a single plea in law, alleging misuse of powers through failure to investigate adequately and distortion of facts, since there is inconsistency between the factual situation of the location of Amsterdam and the information provided in the bid.
