    Defendant: European Commission

    Form of order sought

    The applicant claims that the Court should:

    —

    annul Decision SA.34045 (2013/C) (ex 2012/NN) of 28 May 2018 notified under document C(2018) 3166 (OJ 2019 L 14, p. 1) in respect of the years 2012 and 2013;

    —

    in the alternative, annul Decision SA.34045 (2013/C) (ex 2012/NN) of 28 May 2018 notified under document C(2018) 3166 as against the applicant in respect of the years 2012 and 2013; and

    —

    order the defendant to pay the costs, including lawyers’ fees and travel expenses.

    Pleas in law and main arguments

    The application is based on the following grounds.

    1.

    Wrongful presumption of the existence of State aid for the purposes of Article 107(1) TFEU

    In the first plea in law, it is claimed that the defendant erred in law in its examination of the contested exemption from network charges by presuming the use of State resources.

    In addition, in the examination of the ‘selectivity’ criterion, the reference system was incorrectly and incompletely identified.

    It is further claimed that, because of the incomplete identification of the reference system, the defendant failed to comply with its obligation to state reasons under the second paragraph of Article 296 TFEU.

    2.

    Infringement of the principle of the protection of legitimate expectations

    In the second plea in law, it is claimed that, in view of the particular circumstances, the applicant could expect to be allowed to retain the special network charges granted.
