[OSCURATO:PERSONA] ([OSCURATO:PERSONA]) 23 November 2017 ( * ) (Appeal — [OSCURATO:PERSONA] 181 of the Rules of Procedure of the [OSCURATO:PERSONA] of Justice — Appeal relating solely to the amount of the costs set at first instance — Manifest inadmissibility) [OSCURATO:PERSONA] C‑549/17 P, APPEAL under [OSCURATO:PERSONA] 56 of the Statute of the [OSCURATO:PERSONA] of Justice of the [OSCURATO:PERSONA], brought on 19 September 2017, [OSCURATO:PERSONA], represented by M. Kostytska, advocate, appellant, the other parties to the proceedings being: [OSCURATO:PERSONA], residing in Kiev ([OSCURATO:PERSONA]), applicant at first instance, Council of the [OSCURATO:PERSONA], defendant at first instance, Republic of [OSCURATO:PERSONA], [OSCURATO:PERSONA], interveners at first instance, [OSCURATO:PERSONA] ([OSCURATO:PERSONA]), composed of E. [OSCURATO:PERSONA], [OSCURATO:PERSONA] of the [OSCURATO:PERSONA], M. Berger (Rapporteur) and F. Biltgen, Judges, [OSCURATO:PERSONA]: M. [OSCURATO:PERSONA], [OSCURATO:PERSONA]: A. [OSCURATO:PERSONA], having decided, after hearing the [OSCURATO:PERSONA], to give a decision by reasoned order, pursuant to [OSCURATO:PERSONA] 181 of the Rules of Procedure of the [OSCURATO:PERSONA] of Justice, makes the following [OSCURATO:PERSONA] 1 By its appeal, [OSCURATO:PERSONA] seeks, first, the annulment of the order of the [OSCURATO:PERSONA] of the [OSCURATO:PERSONA] of 19 July 2017, [OSCURATO:PERSONA] v Council (T‑346/14 DEP, not published; ‘the order under appeal’, EU:T:2017:547), by which the [OSCURATO:PERSONA] set the total amount of the costs to be reimbursed by [OSCURATO:PERSONA] to [OSCURATO:PERSONA], the applicant at first instance, at the sum of 3 500 pounds sterling (GBP) (approximately EUR 3 920), and, second, to set that amount at zero. The appeal 2 Pursuant to [OSCURATO:PERSONA] 181 of its Rules of Procedure, where the appeal is, in whole or in part, manifestly inadmissible or manifestly unfounded, the [OSCURATO:PERSONA] may at any time, acting on a proposal from the Judge-Rapporteur and after hearing the [OSCURATO:PERSONA], decide by reasoned order to dismiss that appeal in whole or in part. 3 It is appropriate to apply that provision in the context of the present appeal. 4 By its appeal, [OSCURATO:PERSONA] submits that, by setting, in the order under appeal, the total amount of the costs that it must reimburse to [OSCURATO:PERSONA] at a sum other than zero, the [OSCURATO:PERSONA] went beyond its powers and infringed the restrictive measures imposed by the [OSCURATO:PERSONA]. 5 In that regard, it should be noted that, under the second paragraph of [OSCURATO:PERSONA] 58 of the Statute of the [OSCURATO:PERSONA] of Justice of the [OSCURATO:PERSONA], no appeal shall lie regarding only the amount of the costs or the party ordered to pay them. 6 Indeed, by its appeal, [OSCURATO:PERSONA] merely challenges the amount of the costs set by the [OSCURATO:PERSONA] in the order under appeal. 7 It follows that, pursuant to [OSCURATO:PERSONA] 181 of the Rules of Procedure, the appeal must be dismissed as manifestly inadmissible. Costs 8 [OSCURATO:PERSONA] 137 of the Rules of Procedure of the [OSCURATO:PERSONA] of Justice, which applies to appeal proceedings by virtue of [OSCURATO:PERSONA] 184(1) thereof, a decision as to costs is to be given in the order which closes the proceedings. As the present order has been adopted without notice of the appeal having been served on the other parties, [OSCURATO:PERSONA] must be ordered to bear its own costs. On those grounds, the [OSCURATO:PERSONA] ([OSCURATO:PERSONA]) hereby: 1. Dismisses the appeal; 2. [OSCURATO:PERSONA] to bear its own costs. Luxembourg, 23 November 2017. A. [OSCURATO:PERSONA] E. [OSCURATO:PERSONA] of the [OSCURATO:PERSONA] * Language of the case: English.
