Pleas in law and main arguments

In support of the action against the decision of the European Parliament of 24 April 2024 by which the European Parliament decided that, from the date of the decision and for a period of five years, the applicant would be denied access to the Parliament’s premises, the applicant relies on four pleas in law.

1.First plea in law, alleging infringement of Article 7 of the Rules on access to the European Parliament and of Article 5(4) and (5) of the Rules governing security and safety in the European Parliament (‘the SAFE Rules’), (1) in view of the lack of competence of the author of the contested decision.

3.Third plea in law, alleging infringement of Article 41(2)(c) of the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union and of Article 296 TFEU.

4.Fourth plea in law, alleging failure to observe the principle of proportionality.
