Pleas in law and main arguments
By means of the present application, the applicant seeks, pursuant to Article 263 TFUE, the annulment of the Commission’s decision of 18 January 2010, by which the defendant concluded that the import duties concerned for colour televisions should be entered in the accounts since the conditions for the application of Article 220(2)(b) of the Community Customs Code (1) were not met. The contested decision also concluded that the remission of the import duties concerned was not justified pursuant to Article 239 of the Community Customs Code.
In support of his appeal, the applicant submits the following pleas in law:
|
Firstly, the applicant alleges that the defendant infringed its rights of defence since it took a decision which was solely based on the documents submitted by the applicant. |
|
Secondly, the defendant infringed Article 220(2)(b) of the Community Customs Code, taken together with Article 236 of the Community Customs Code, as:
|
|
In addition, the applicant submits that the error committed by the competent customs authorities could not have been reasonably detected by the person liable for payment, having acted in good faith and complied with all the provisions laid down by legislation in force as regards the customs declaration. |
|
Finally, the applicant submits that it finds itself in a special situation within the meaning of Article 239 of the Community Customs Code and that no deception or obvious negligence can be attributed to the applicant pursuant to this legal provision. |
