APPLICATION for annulment of the decision of the European Union Police Mission in Afghanistan (‘EUPOL Afghanistan’) of 23 November 2008 rejecting the applicant’s tender in relation to the contract for provision of security and close protection services for all ‘EUPOL’ staff in Afghanistan (OJ 2008/S 194‑255613) and awarding the contract to another tenderer.
1 By letter lodged at the Registry of the General Court on 8 February 2010, 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.
