Language of the case: English

Applicant: Naftiran Intertrade Co. (NICO) Sàrl (Pully, Switzerland) (represented by: J. Grayston, Solicitor, P. Gjørtler, G. Pandey and D. Rovetta, lawyers)

Defendant: Council of the European Union

Form of order sought

The applicant claims that the Court should:

—

annul the Council decision contained in the letter of 14 March 2014, addressed to the lawyers of the applicant, concerning review of the list of designated persons and entities in Annex II to Council Decision 2010/413/CFSP concerning restrictive measures against Iran, as amended by Council Decision 2012/635/CFSP of 15 October 2012, and in Annex IX to Regulation (EU) No 267/2012 concerning restrictive measures against Iran, as implemented by Council Implementing Regulation (EU) No 945/2012 of 15 October 2012, in so far as the contested decision constitutes a refusal to remove the applicant from the list of persons and entities made subject to the restrictive measures;

—

join the present proceedings with the case T-6/13 in accordance with Article 50(1) of the Rules of Procedure;

—

order the Council to bear the costs of the present proceedings.

Pleas in law and main arguments

In support of the action, the applicant relies on two pleas in law, alleging that the statement of grounds was insufficient and that the Council committed a manifest error of assessment.

The applicant argues that it is a not a subsidiary of Naftiran Intertrade Company (NICO) Limited, as this company no longer exists in Jersey, and in any case the Council has not substantiated that even if the applicant were a subsidiary of Naftiran Intertrade Company (NICO) Limited, this would entail an economic benefit for the Iranian State that would be contrary to the objective pursued by the contested measures.
