C 451/21
(Case T-635/22)
(2022/C 451/25)
Language of the case: French
Parties
Applicants: Mikhail Fridman (London, United Kingdom), Petr Aven (Virginia Water, United Kingdom), German Khan (London) (represented by: T. Marembert and A. Bass, lawyers)
Defendant: Council of the European Union
Form of order sought
The applicants claim that the Court should:
—annul Council Regulation (EU) 2022/1273 of 21 July 2022 amending Regulation (EU) No 269/2014 concerning restrictive measures in respect of actions undermining or threatening the territorial integrity, sovereignty and independence of Ukraine (1) in so far as it concerns the applicants;
—order the Council to pay the costs.
Pleas in law and main arguments
In support of the action, the applicants rely on two pleas in law.
1.First plea in law, alleging lack of any legal basis. According to the applicants, the Council cannot impose any positive obligations, particularly where they are so burdensome, on the persons on which it imposes sanctions.
2.Second plea in law, alleging lack of any legal basis and infringement of Articles 4, 5, 25 and 40 TEU and Articles 3, 4, 82, 83 and 215 TFEU. The applicants claim, in that connection, that, by requiring Member States to treat any deviation from the Council’s requirement to declare assets as a circumvention of sanctions, the Council, which is aware that the circumvention of sanctions is a criminal offence in 25 of the 27 Member States, has acted as a legislative authority in criminal matters.
