Language of the case: English

Form of order sought
The applicant claims that the Court should:
|
— |
annul Article 2 of Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2016/2146 of 7 December 2016 withdrawing the acceptance of the undertaking for two exporting producers under Implementing Decision 2013/707/EU confirming the acceptance of an undertaking offered in connection with the anti-dumping and anti-subsidy proceedings concerning imports of crystalline silicon photovoltaic modules and key components (i.e. cells) originating in or consigned from the People's Republic of China for the period of application of definitive measures (JO 2016, L 333, p. 4), as far as the applicant is concerned; and |
|
— |
order the Commission, and any intervener who may be allowed to support the Commission in the course of the proceedings, to bear the costs of the proceedings. |
Pleas in law and main arguments
In support of the action, the applicant relies on one sole ground.
According to the applicant, the Commission breached Article 8(1), (9) and (10) and Article 10(5) of Regulation (EU) 2016/1036 (1), and Article 13(1), (9) and (10) and Article 16(5) of Regulation (EU) 2016/1037 (2), when it invalidated undertaking invoices and then directed customs to all duties, as if no valid undertaking invoices had been issued and communicated to customs at the time the goods were declared for release in free circulation.
The applicant bases this plea on a plea of illegality of Article 3(2) of Council Implementing Regulation (EU) No 1238/2013 (3), and Article 2(2) of Council Implementing Regulation (EU) No 1239/2013 (4), which give to the Commission the power to declare undertaking invoices invalid.
(1) Regulation (EU) 2016/1036 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 8 June 2016 on protection against dumped imports from countries not members of the European Union (OJ 2016 L 176, p. 21).
(2) Regulation (EU) 2016/1037 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 8 June 2016 on protection against subsidised imports from countries not members of the European Union (OJ 2016, L 176, p. 55).
(3) Council Implementing Regulation (EU) No 1238/2013 of 2 December 2013 imposing a definitive anti-dumping duty and collecting definitively the provisional duty imposed on imports of crystalline silicon photovoltaic modules and key components (i.e. cells) originating in or consigned from the People's Republic of China (OJ 2013, L 325, p. 1).
(4) Regulation (EU) No 1239/2013 of 2 December 2013 imposing a definitive countervailing duty on imports of crystalline silicon photovoltaic modules and key components (i.e. cells) originating in or consigned from the People's Republic of China (OJ 2013, L 325, p. 66).
