(2015/C 155/20)
Language of the case: Spanish
Appellant: European Commission (represented by: D. Recchia and S. Pardo Quintillán, acting as Agents)
Other party to the proceedings: Kingdom of Spain
The Commission claims that the Court should:
—set aside the judgment of the General Court of 20 January 2015 in Case T-109/12 Spain v Commission;
—refer the case back to the General Court for determination, and
—order the Kingdom of Spain to pay the costs.
The appeal brought by the Commission concerns the judgment of the General Court of 20 January 2015 in Case T-109/12. By its judgment, the General Court annulled Commission Decision C(2011) 9992 of 22 December 2011 reducing the assistance from the Cohesion Fund granted to certain projects.
The Commission relies on two grounds of appeal. Primarily, the Commission submits that the General Court committed an error of law in holding that the Commission had to adopt the decision on financial corrections within a period determined on the basis of the basic legislative act in force at the date of the hearing between the Commission and the Member State. In the alternative, the Commission submits that the General Court committed an error of law in holding that that the period imposed on the Commission for the adoption of the decision on financial corrections is a mandatory period, disregard for which constitutes infringement of an essential procedural requirement which invalidates a decision adopted outside that period.
