Procedural Posture

Recours En Réparation (action for Damages) / Order on Manifest Lack of Jurisdiction and Inadmissibility

  1. 1 Whether the Court of Justice of the European Union has jurisdiction to adjudicate claims for damages against a Member State for violation of rights under national law
  2. 2 Whether the Court can recognize applicant status as politically persecuted persons
  3. 3 Whether the Parliament and Commission failed to act by not adopting legislation sanctioning national and EU officials for non-compliance with EU law

Ratio Decidendi

The Court is manifestly incompetent to adjudicate the applicants' claims for compensation and recognition of status under national law, as these matters fall outside EU law and the Court's jurisdiction. The action against the Parliament and Commission is manifestly inadmissible because the applicants are not potential addressees of the act sought, and the Charter does not apply to the purely internal situation presented.

Court Disposition

Application dismissed for manifest lack of jurisdiction and inadmissibility.

Orders

  • The Court of Justice of the European Union is manifestly incompetent to adjudicate the claims against Romania for compensation and recognition of status.
  • The application is rejected as manifestly inadmissible regarding the alleged failure to act by the Parliament and Commission.
