Language of the case: English

Parties

Appellant: Spliethoff's Bevrachtingskantoor BV (represented by: Y. de Vries, advocaat)

Other party to the proceedings: European Commission

Form of order sought

The applicant claims that the Court should:

set aside the order of the General Court of 11 October 2016 in case T-564/15;

refer the case back to the General Court;

order the Commission to pay the costs of the proceedings, including the costs before the General Court.

Pleas in law and main arguments

The General Court erred in law by finding that the action is inadmissible, given that it is directed against the Commission, who is not the author of the contested act;

The General Court erred in law by finding that the action was inadmissible because the contested act is merely provisional in nature and therefore is not a definitive act;

The General Court erred in law by rejecting Spliethoff’s request to treat its action for annulment as if it were directed against the 31 July Decision (1).
