C 109/14

(Case T-668/11)

2012/C 109/33

Language of the case: French

Parties

Applicant: VIP Car Solutions SARL (Hoenheim, France) (represented by: G. Welzer, lawyer)

Defendant: European Parliament

Form of order sought

The applicant claims that the Court should:

—order the European Parliament to pay EUR 1 408 000 to SARL VIP CAR SOLUTIONS;

—order the European Parliament to pay the costs.

Pleas in law and main arguments

The applicant seeks compensation for the material and non-material damage which it claims to have suffered as a result of the Parliament’s decision of 24 January 2007 to reject its tender submitted in the context of a tender procedure relating to transport for Members of the European Parliament in chauffeur-driven cars and minibuses during part-sessions in Strasbourg (PE/2006/06/UTD/1). That decision was annulled by the judgment in Case T-89/07 VIP Car Solutions v Parliament.

In support of the action, the applicant alleges serious fault on the part of the Parliament as follows, giving rise to loss:

—a breach of the obligation to notify the price offered by the successful tenderer;

—a breach of the obligation to state reasons, since the Parliament failed to give any information on the characteristics and relative advantages of the successful tender, and

—a manifest error of assessment, since the Parliament did not base its refusal decision on selection and award criteria defined in advance in the documents relating to the call for tenders.
