Parties
Applicant: Czech Republic (represented by: M. Smolek, J. Vláčil, J. Vikáková, Agents)
Defendant: European Commission
Form of order sought
The applicant claims that the Court should:
Annul the implementing decision of the European Commission C (2013) 7615 of 13 November 2013 on the rejection of an application for entry in the register of traditional specialities guaranteed provided for in Regulation (EU) No 1151/2012 1 of the European Parliament and of the Council (Pomazánkové máslo (TSG)) and
Order the European Commission to pay the costs.
Pleas in law and main arguments
In support of the action, the applicant relies on one plea in law, alleging the infringement of Articles 50 and 52 of Regulation No 1151/2012 in conjunction with Article 18 thereof. The applicant submits that the Commission did not scrutinise whether the conditions were met for the entry of the name ‘Pomazánkové máslo’ as a traditional speciality guaranteed and rejected the application in question for a reason other than the fact that it did not meet those conditions.
