      Applicant: Mohamed El Morabit (Amsterdam, Netherlands) (represented by: U. Sarikaya, lawyer)
   
      Defendant: Council of the European Union
   Form of order sought
   
               —
            
            
               Annul the contested decision of the Council.
            
         Pleas in law and main arguments
   The applicant contests the Council decision placing him on the list of persons, groups and entities that are subject to the restrictive measures provided for in Council Regulation (EC) No 2580/2001 of 27 December 2001 on specific restrictive measures directed against certain persons and entities with a view to combating terrorism (1).
   The applicant submits that, although he has been found guilty by a court of participating in a criminal organisation with a terrorist aim, he has appealed against the judgment. He submits that there is a real chance that he will be acquitted on appeal. The Council's decision is therefore premature.
