1 By letter lodged at the Registry of the General Court on 24 April 2013, the applicant informed the Court in accordance with Article 99 of the Rules of Procedure that it wished to discontinue proceedings. It sought no order as to costs.

3 By letter lodged at the Registry of the Court on 17 May 2013, the intervener informed the Court that it has no objections to the request for discontinuance.
4 The first subparagraph of Article 87(5) of the Rules of Procedure provides that a party who discontinues or withdraws from proceedings shall be ordered to pay the costs if they have been applied for in the observations of the other party on the discontinuance. In the present case, the applicant sought no order as to costs, while the defendant requested that the applicant should bear the costs of the proceedings, including the costs of the defendant.
5 The first subparagraph of Article 87(4) of the Rules of Procedure provides that the Member States and institutions which intervened in the proceedings shall bear their own costs.
6 The case will therefore be removed from the register and the applicant ordered to pay its own costs, as well as the costs of the defendant. The intervener shall bear its own costs.
