The applicant claims that the Court should:
— |
annul Council Implementing Regulation (EU) 2015/375 of 6 March 2015 implementing Regulation (EU) No 36/2012 concerning restrictive measures in view of the situation in Syria insofar as it concerns the applicant; |
— |
annul Council Implementing Decision (CFSP) 2015/383 of 6 March 2015 implementing Decision 2013/255/CFSP concerning restrictive measures against Syria insofar as it concerns the applicant; |

order, as a result, that Mr George Haswani’s name be removed from the annexes to the above-mentioned acts; |

order the Council to pay EUR 7 00 000 in damages to compensate all forms of loss suffered; |
— |
order the Council to pay its own costs and the costs of the applicant, which he reserves the right to justify during the course of the proceedings. |
Pleas in law and main arguments
In support of the action, the applicant relies on five pleas in law.
1. |
First plea in law: the Council violated the applicant’s right of defence, right to a hearing and right to a fair trial. |
2. |
Second plea in law: the Council failed to state reasons to the extent that the reasoning of the contested acts is insufficient and imprecise. |
3. |
Third plea in law: the Council committed a manifest error of assessment and failed to provide evidence to the extent that there are no genuine and reasonable grounds for the restrictive measures taken against the applicant. |
4. |
Fourth plea in law: the Council infringed the general principle of proportionality. |
5. |
Fifth plea in law: the Council should compensate the applicant. |
