      Re:
   
   Appeals brought against the orders of the General Court (Fourth Chamber) of 24 March 2010 in Case T-516/08 Erikson v Commission, Case T-6/09 Hansen v Commission and Case T-5/09 Lind v Commission whereby the General Court dismissed as manifestly lacking any foundation in law actions for damages seeking compensation for harm allegedly suffered by the applicants following a failure by the Commission to take the measures necessary to oblige Denmark to comply with Directive 96/29 laying down basic safety standards for the protection of the health of workers and the general public against the dangers arising from ionising radiation (OJ 1996 L 159, p. 1) and to apply those provisions to workers involved in the nuclear accident at Thule (Greenland), disregarding the resolution of the European Parliament of 10 May 2007 on the consequences of that accident on public health (Petition 720/2002, 2006/2012 (INI))
   
      Operative part of the order
