Pleas in law and main arguments

In support of the action, the applicant relies on a single plea in law, alleging the unlawfulness of the European Commission’s conduct and its serious wrongdoing, in that it failed to observe, firstly, the principle of sound administration; secondly, the duty of care and, thirdly, the principles of the rights of the defence by infringing Articles 41 and 48 of the Charter of Fundamental Rights.
