APPLICATION, for annulment of Council Decision 2012/739/CFSP of 29 November 2012 (OJ 2012 L 330, p. 21), Council Regulation (EU) No 36/2012 of 18 January 2012 (OJ 2012 L 16, p. 1), Council Implementing Regulation (EU) No 944/2012 of 15 October 2012 implementing Article 32(1) of Regulation (EU) No 36/2012 (OJ 2012 L 282, p. 9), Council Implementing Regulation (EU) No 1117/2012 of 29 November 2012 implementing Article 32(1) of Regulation (EU) No 36/2012 (OJ 2012 L 330, p. 9) and the Council’s decision contained in its letter of 30 November 2012 (No SGS12/013373), acts concerning restrictive measures in view of the situation in Syria, in so far as the name of the applicant has been included on the lists of persons and entities to which those restrictive measures apply, and action for damages for the loss allegedly suffered by the applicant as a result of the adoption of those decisions.
1 By letter lodged at the Registry of the General Court on 7 July 2014, the applicant informed the Court, in accordance with Article 99 of the Rules of Procedure, that it wished to discontinue proceedings and that the question of costs had been the subject of an agreement between the parties, according to which they have no claims against each other for costs or damages resulting from this appeal.
2 By letter lodged at the Registry of the Court on 11 July 2014, the defendant informed the Court that it had no objections to the application for discontinuance and confirmed that the applicant and the defendant had reached an agreement according to which every party should bear its own costs.
3 The second subparagraph of Article 87(5) of the Rules of Procedure provides that, where proceedings are discontinued and the parties have come to an agreement on costs, the order for costs shall be in accordance with that agreement.
4 The case will therefore be removed from the register and the parties ordered to pay their own costs.
On those grounds,
THE PRESIDENT OF THE NINTH CHAMBER OF THE GENERAL COURT
hereby orders:
1. Case T-569/12 is removed from the register of the General Court.
2. The parties shall bear their own costs.
