   (Case T-348/16)

   Language of the case: Greek
   
      Parties
   
   
      Applicant: Aristoteleio Panepistimio Thessalonikis (Thessaloniki, Greece) (represented by: V. Christianos, lawyer)
   
      Defendant: European Research Council Executive Agency (ERCEA) (Brussels, Belgium)
   
      Form of order sought
   
   The applicant claims that the General Court should:
   
               —
            
            
               Declare that the demand made by the defendant in debit note numbered 3241606289 of 26/05/2016 that the Aristoteleio Panepistimio Thessalonikis repay part of the grant which it received for the MINATRAN project, a sum of EUR 245 525.43, is unfounded, and declare that that sum constitutes eligible costs; and
            
         
               —
            
            
               order the European Research Council Executive Agency to pay the applicant’s legal costs.
            
         
      Pleas in law and main arguments
   
   The applicant claims that the General Court of the European Union, under Article 272 TFEU, should declare that the sum disputed by ERCEA constitutes eligible costs.
   In support of the action, the applicant argues that the costs disputed by ERCEA and, in particular, the staff costs, travel costs and indirect costs are eligible costs. That argument is supported by the evidence which the applicant submitted to ERCEA during the on-the-spot audit and in subsequent correspondence and, above all, by the comprehensive analysis of the evidence submitted.
