Pleas in law and main arguments
The appeal brought by the Commission concerns the judgment of the General Court of 19 March 2015 in Case T-413/13. In that judgment, the General Court annulled, to the extent that it concerns City Cycle Industries, Article 1(1) and 3 of Council Implementing Regulation (EU) No 501/2013 (1) of 29 May 2013 extending the definitive anti-dumping duty imposed by Implementing Regulation (EU) No 990/2011 on imports of bicycles originating in the People’s Republic of China to imports of bicycles consigned from Indonesia, Malaysia, Sri Lanka and Tunisia, whether declared as originating in Indonesia, Malaysia, Sri Lanka and Tunisia or not.
The Commission relies, in support of its appeal, on four grounds of appeal. First, the Commission argues that the General Court failed to assess ex officio whether the action for annulment was admissible under Article 263(4) TFEU. Second, the Commission considers that the General Court could not legally draw the conclusion that the Council had breached Article 13(1) of the Basic anti-dumping Regulation (2), because such a conclusion is based on an incorrect interpretation of the relevant recital of the contested Regulation and on an incorrect interpretation of Article 13(1) of the Basic anti-dumping Regulation. Third, the Commission argues that the General Court did not provide a sufficient reasoning for its conclusion, in breach of Article 36 of the Statute of the Court of Justice of the European Union. Fourth, the Commission considers that the General Court breached the procedural rights of the Commission under Article 40 of the Statute of the Court of Justice.
