    Action brought on 7 May 2018 — Azarov v Council

    (Case T-286/18)

    2018/C 240/60Language of the case: German

    Parties

    Applicant: Mykola Yanovych Azarov (Kiev, Ukraine) (represented by: A. Egger and G. Lansky, lawyers)

    Defendant: Council of the European Union

    Form of order sought

    The applicant claims that the Court should:

    Annul, pursuant to Article 263 TFEU, Council Decision (CFSP) 2018/333 of 5 March 2018 amending Decision 2014/119/CFSP concerning restrictive measures directed against certain persons, entities and bodies in view of the situation in Ukraine (OJ 2018 L 63, p. 48) and Council Implementing Regulation (EU) 2018/326 of 5 March 2018 implementing Regulation (EU) No 208/2014 concerning restrictive measures directed against certain persons, entities and bodies in view of the situation in Ukraine (OJ 2018 L 63, p. 5), in so far as they relate to the applicant;

    order specific measures of organisation pursuant to Article 64 of the Rules of Procedure of the General Court; and

    order the Council to pay the costs of the proceedings pursuant to Article 87(2) of the Rules of Procedure of the General Court.

    Pleas in law and main arguments

    In support of the action, the applicant relies on two pleas in law.

    1.

    First plea in law, alleging infringement of the principle of proportionality

    The applicant claims that the restrictive measures, which have now been ordered for the fifth time, are clearly disproportionate.

    2.

    Second plea in law, alleging manifest errors of assessment

    The applicant submits that the Council did not have a sufficiently solid factual basis, as required pursuant to case-law, in order to take the decision to extend the restrictive measures.
