C 377/16


Action brought on 13 September 2013 — Seatech International and Others v Commission

(Case T-500/13)

2013/C 377/38

Language of the case: French

Parties

Applicants: Seatech International, Inc. (Cartagena, Colombia); Tuna Atlantic, Ltda (Cartagena); and Comextun, Ltda (Cartagena) (represented by: F. Foucault, lawyer)

Defendant: European Commission

Form of order sought

The applicants claim that the Court should:

annul Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 672/2013 of 15 July 2013 amending Regulation (EU) No 468/2010 establishing the EU list of vessels engaged in illegal, unreported and unregulated fishing, in so far as it designates the Marta Lucia R as a ship that engages in IUU fishing.

Pleas in law and main arguments

In support of the action, the applicants claim that the Marta Lucia R was removed from the list of ships considered to be engaging in illegal, unreported and unregulated fishing, held by the Inter-American Tropical Tuna Commission, and that it should therefore be similarly removed from the European Union list of vessels engaged in IUU fishing.
