Appellant: Ethniko Kentro Erevnas kai Technologikis Anaptyxis (EKETA) (represented by: V. Christianos and K. Karagounis, lawyers)

Other party to the proceedings: European Commission

Form of order sought

The appellant claims that the Court of Justice of the European Union should:

1.Set aside the judgment of the General Court of 22 January 2019 in Case Τ-198/17 (1),

2.Refer the case back to the General Court for a further ruling;

3.Order the Commission to pay the costs.

Grounds of appeal and main arguments

The appellant claims that the judgment under appeal should be set aside on the following grounds:

—First ground of appeal: The General Court failed to give judgment in accordance with the law and did not assess all the arguments and evidence produced by ΕΚΕΤΑ. The General Court also distorted the facts, as they emerged from that evidence, erred in law as to the allocation of the burden of proof and was in breach of the obligation to state reasons for its decision.

—Second ground of appeal: The General Court erred in law, in that it misinterpreted the issue of whether there was a risk of conflict of interest.

—Third ground of appeal: The General Court erred in law in its interpretation of the principle of proportionality, which it disregarded.
