   Form of order sought
   
               —
            
            
               annulment of the European Commission's decision, adopted in connection with Case 89 0488 P1, notified to the applicant on 3 March 2008, deciding that the applicant must be required to repay the sum of EUR 25 485,00, equivalent to PTE 5 109 287.
            
         Pleas in law and main arguments
   The training programme was carried out in full.
   The auditors used criteria far removed from reality and for reasons quite foreign to the applicant they treated costs as ineligible.
   All the expenditure ought to have been regarded as eligible and taken into consideration in the final account.
   After the lapse of twenty years, repayment of any amount is flagrant injustice and runs counter to the fundamental principles of proportionality and of certainty for citizens before the law and the institutions.
