Form of order sought

The applicants claim that the Court should:

order the EMA to pay all costs in these proceedings.

Pleas in law and main arguments

In support of the action, the applicants rely on five pleas in law.

1.First plea in law, alleging that the documents at issue is protected by Article 4(2) and/or Article 4(3) of Regulation (EC) No 1049/2001 pursuant to a general presumption of confidentiality.

2.Second plea in law, alleging that the documents at issue in their entirety constitute commercially confidential information that is protected by Article 4(2) of said Regulation.

3.Third plea in law, alleging that the release of the documents would undermine the EMA's decision making process.
