      Form of order sought
   
   The applicant claims that the Court should:
   
               —
            
            
               annul the Commission Decision of 16 July 2014 (REM 05/2013) on the refusal of the application for remission of import duties amounting to EUR 4 61  415,12;
            
         
               —
            
            
               order the defendant to pay the costs of these proceedings.
            
         
      Pleas in law and main arguments
   
   In support of the action, the applicant submits that the post-clearance customs duties for the import of linen fabric from Latvia in the years 1999 to 2002 must be remitted in accordance with Article 239 of Council Regulation (EEC) No 2913/92 of 12 October 1992 establishing the Community Customs Code (OJ 1992 L 302, p. 1) due to the presence of special circumstances. The applicant cites as special circumstances serious breaches of obligations by the Latvian customs authorities, serious breaches of obligations by the European Commission/OLAF and serious misconduct of the German customs authorities. In the applicant’s view, those circumstances cannot be attributed to obvious negligence on its part.
