Form of order sought

The appellants claim that the Court should:

—declare the present appeal admissible and well founded;

—refer the case back to the General Court for examination of the substance;

—order the Commission to pay all costs and expenses before the Court of Justice.

Pleas in law and main arguments

The Appellants put forward the following grounds in support of their Appeal:

1.the GC committed an error of law in concluding that the Contested Regulations entailed implementing measures within the meaning of Article 263(4) TFEU;

2.the GC committed an error of law in concluding that Regulation 393/2011 was not of individual concern to the Appellants;

3.the GC committed an error of law in rejecting the plea of illegality, as a result of errors (1) and (2) above.

As a result, the Appellants request your Court (i) to set aside the Contested Judgment to the extent that it declares inadmissible the Application for Annulment and rejects the plea of illegality; and (ii) refer the case back to the GC.
