(Case T-15/18)

(2018/C 083/33)

Language of the case: Spanish

Parties

Applicant: Organización de Consumidores y Usuarios (OCU) (Madrid, Spain) (represented by: E. Martínez Martínez and C. López-Mélida de Ramón, lawyers)

Defendant: European Central Bank (ECB)

Form of order sought

The applicant claims that the Court should:

—Annul the contested decision.

—Order the ECB to disclose to the applicant the full or confidential version of the documents.

—Order the ECB to pay the costs incurred.

Pleas in law and main arguments

This action seeks the annulment of the Decision of 17 November 2017, registered under number LS/MD/17/428, dismissing the applicant’s ‘confirmatory application for access to ECB documents’ of 14 September 2017 and an order for the disclosure of the documents requested, relating to the resolution of the institution Banco Popular Español S.A.

In support of its action, the applicant relies on a single plea in law, based on the fundamental right set out in Article 41(2) of the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union, namely the right to good administration, in the form of access to documents for the proper exercise of the right of defence.
