ORDER OF THE PRESIDENT OF THE GENERAL COURT
15 September 2014 (1)
(Legal aid)
In Case T-546/14 AJ,
FQ, residing in Poulton-le-Fylde (United Kingdom),
applicant,
v
European Commission,
defendant,
APPLICATION for legal aid under Article 95 of the Rules of Procedure of the Court,
THE PRESIDENT OF THE GENERAL COURT
makes the following
Order
having regard to Article 94(3) of the Rules of Procedure,
having regard to the second subparagraph of Article 95(2) of the Rules of Procedure,
having regard to Article 96(1) of the Rules of Procedure,
having regard to the application for legal aid lodged at the Registry of the General Court on 15 July 2014,
having regard to the fact that the proposed action has not been set out coherently and comprehensibly on the legal aid form,
having regard to the fact that under the sixth paragraph of Article 263 TFEU, proceedings for annulment must be instituted within two months of the publication of the contested measure, or of its notification to the plaintiff, or, in the absence thereof, of the day on which it came to the knowledge of the latter. Under Article 102(1) of the Rules of Procedure, where the period of time allowed for commencing proceedings against a measure adopted by an institution runs from the publication of that measure, that period shall run from the end of the 14th day after publication thereof in the Official Journal of the European Union. In accordance with Article 102(2) of the Rules of Procedure, that time-limit is to be extended on account of distance by a single period of 10 days,
having regard to the fact that, in the present case, it is apparent that the disputed measure, Directive 2003/59/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 15 July 2003 on the initial qualification and periodic training of drivers of certain road vehicles for the carriage of goods or passengers, amending Council Regulation (EEC) No 3820/85 and Council Directive 91/439/EEC and repealing Council Directive 76/914/EEC (OJ 2003 L 226, p. 4), was published in the Official Journal of the European Union on 10 September 2003,
having regard to the fact that, the application for legal aid has therefore been lodged after the expiry of the time-limit for lodging an application contesting Directive 2003/59/EC,
having regard to the fact that the action envisaged thus appears to be manifestly inadmissible,
THE PRESIDENT OF THE GENERAL COURT
hereby orders:
The application for legal aid in Case T-546/14 AJ is dismissed.
Luxembourg, 15 September 2014.
