2012/C 89/28
Language of the case: English
Parties
Applicant: European Commission (represented by: R. Lyal, W. Mölls, Agents)
Defendant: Ireland
The applicant claims that the Court should:
—declare that by granting excise duty relief for the fuel used by disabled people for motor vehicles without respecting the minimum levels of taxation prescribed by Council Directive 2003/96/EC (1) Ireland has failed to fulfil its obligations under that Directive;
—order Ireland to pay the costs.
Pleas in law and main arguments
The Commission submits that, by maintaining the exemption from excise duty of motor fuels used by disabled people, Ireland is in breach of its obligations under the directive.
