insofar as those measures apply to the applicant.

Pleas in law and main arguments

In support of the action, the applicant relies on four pleas in law.

1.First plea in law, alleging that the Council made errors of assessment in considering that the criterion for listing the applicant in Article 1(1) of the contested decision and Article 3(1) of the contested regulation is satisfied.

2.Second plea in law, alleging that the violation of the applicant’s rights under Article 6, read with Articles 2 and 3, TEU, and Articles 47 and 48 of the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union by the Council’s assumption that the Applicant’s treatment in Ukraine complied with fundamental human rights.

3.Third plea in law, alleging that the Council violated the applicant’s rights of defence and the right to good administration and effective judicial protection.

4.Fourth plea in law, alleging that the Council infringed, without justification or proportion, the applicant’s rights to property and reputation.
