         Form of order sought
      
      The applicant claims that the Court should:
      
                  —
               
               
                  annul the Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2021/1029 of 24 June 2021, amending Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2019/159 to prolong the safeguard measure on imports of certain steel products (OJ 2021, L 225I, p. 1);
               
            
                  —
               
               
                  order the European Commission to bear the costs of the applicant’s legal costs in the present proceedings.
               
            
         Pleas in law and main arguments
      
      In support of the action, the applicant relies on two pleas in law.
      
                  1.
               
               
                  First plea in law, alleging that the Commission breaches the article 19 of Regulation (EU) 2015/478 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 11 march 2015 on common rules for imports (1) by committing a manifest error of assessment in the determination of serious injury and likelihood of serious injury;
               
            
                  2.
               
               
                  Second plea in law, alleging that the Commission’s assessments of the relevant market data and the counterfactual related to terminating the safeguards are manifestly erroneous. Considering the exceptional world market situation, the Commission also breaches its duty to take into account the post investigating period (IP) year 2021 situation.
               
            
         (1)  OJ L 83, p. 16, 27.3.2015
