Form of order sought

— |
set aside the judgment of the Court of First Instance of 27 September 2006, case no. T-168/01, to the extent the Court of First Instance annulled the Commission decision 2001/70/E (1) of 8 May 2001. |

Misapplication of Art. 81(3) EC-the Court of First Instance disregarded the role and function of Art. 81(3) when alleging the assessment undertaken by the Commission was insufficient. |
(b) |
Misapplication of Article 81(3) EC by misjudging the burden of rendering evidence and proof |
(c) |
Misapplication of Article 81(3) EC in consequence of misinterpretation or non-consideration of evidence on file, which proves that the applicant (GSK) did not plead on the requirements of Article 81(3) EC sufficiently and by offering sustainable evidence. |
