      Form of order sought
   
   The applicants claim that the Court should:
   
               —
            
            
               order the Council to pay the applicants compensation, for an amount to be determined in the course of the present proceedings, but not less than USD 57 1 0 40  504, together with interest; and
            
         
               —
            
            
               order the Council to pay the applicants’ costs.
            
         
      Pleas in law and main arguments
   
   In support of the action, the applicants rely on one plea in law, alleging that the EU Council’s imposition of restrictive measures on the applicants was a sufficiently serious breach of obligations intended to confer rights upon the Applicants and accordingly the non-contractual liability of the EU is engaged. This breach was the direct cause of significant material and non-material harm to the applicants for which they are entitled to compensation.
