order the defendant to pay the costs.

Pleas in law and main arguments

The applicant seeks annulment of the decision of the Petitions Committee of the European Parliament of 2 March 2010, whereby his petition concerning the alleged confiscation of various documents and works by Austrian officials was dismissed.

In support of his action, the applicant claims that his right to the admission of his petition has been infringed.
