APPLICATION for taxation of costs lodged by the Council following the judgment of the General Court (Sixth Chamber) of 13 September 2013 in Huvis v Council (T-536/08, not published in the ECR, EU:T:2013:432).
1 By letter lodged at the Court Registry on 7 September 2015, the applicant informed the Court, in accordance with Article 125 of the Rules of Procedure of the General Court, that it wished to discontinue proceedings. It sought no order as to costs.

4 The case shall therefore be removed from the register and, in the absence of any claim in that regard, the parties ordered to bear their own costs.
On those grounds,
THE PRESIDENT OF THE FIRST CHAMBER OF THE GENERAL COURT
