    Defendant: European Commission

    Form of order sought

    The applicants claim that the Court should:

    —

    Annul the contested decision contained in the letter of the Commission of 10 June 2013, to close the complaint filed by the applicants against the Hellenic Republic and the Greek Organisation of Football Prognostics (OPAP) in case COMP/39.981; and

    —

    Order the defendant to bear the costs of the proceedings.

    Pleas in law and main arguments

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

    1.

    First plea in law, alleging a breach of the Commission’s duty to investigate the complaint with due care and diligence, and a manifest error of fact in assessing the arguments set out in the complaint with reference to Article 102 TFEU, the concrete and autonomous abuse or abuses of dominance committed by OPAP and the relevant market definition.

    2.

    Second plea in law, alleging a breach of the Commission’s duty to state reasons and a breach of Article 296 TFEU.

    3.

    Third plea in law, alleging misuse of powers by the Commission and breach of the principle of autonomous nature and objectives of competition rules.

    4.

    Fourth plea in law, alleging manifest error of law, failure to assess the compatibility of the relevant Greek legislation with Union law, prior to conducting the assessment of an infringement under Article 102 TFEU, and breach of the right to a good and diligent administration conferred by Article 41(1) of the Charter of Rights, and the Commission’s duty to investigate the complaint with due care and diligence with reference to Article 106 TFEU.
