Pleas in law and main arguments

In support of the action, the applicant raised an objection of illegality against the agreement concluded between the European Union and the Federation of Luxembourg Hospitals increasing by 15 % the medical expenses incurred by the members of the Joint Sickness Insurance Scheme (JSIS) in Luxembourg. That objection of illegality is based on two pleas in law.

1.First plea in law, alleging breach of the principle of non-discrimination on grounds of nationality and Articles 12 and 14 of the Protocol on privileges and immunities.

2.Second plea in law, alleging breach of the principle of sound financial management set out in Article 30 of Regulation No 966/2012 and Article 43 of the Joint Rules on Sickness Insurance for Officials of the European Union.
