Language of the case: French

Parties

Applicant: Kinda Makhlouf (Warsaw, Poland) (represented by: G. Karouni and K. Assogba, lawyers)

Defendant: Council of the European Union

Form of order sought

The applicant claims that the Court should

annul, in so far as those acts concern the applicant,

Council Implementing Decision (CFSP) 2022/242 of 21 February 2022 implementing Decision 2013/255/CFSP concerning restrictive measures against Syria and its Annex I;

Council Implementing Decision (EU) 2022/237 of 21 February 2022 implementing Regulation (EU) No 36/2012 concerning restrictive measures in view of the situation in Syria and its Annex II;

order the Council to pay the sum of EUR 50 000 in damages to compensate all forms of loss;

Under Article 134 of the Rules of Procedure of the General Court, the unsuccessful party is ordered to pay the costs. Ms Kinda Makhlouf requests that the Council be ordered to bear its own costs and pay those incurred by her, of which supporting evidence can be shown during proceedings.

Pleas in law and main arguments

In support of the action, the applicant relies on five pleas in law which are, essentially, identical or similar to those relied upon in Case T-206/22, Makhlouf v Council.
