1.

First plea in law, alleging that Council Implementing Regulation (EU) No 125/2014 is void insofar as it concerns the PKK and/or Council Regulation (EC) No 2580/2001 is inapplicable due to a failure to observe the law of armed conflict.

2.

Second plea in law, alleging that Council Implementing Regulation (EU) No 125/2014 is void insofar as it concerns the PKK since the PKK cannot be qualified as a ‘terrorist organisation’ as defined in Article 1(3) of Council Common Position 2001/931/CFSP (3).

3.

Third plea in law, alleging that Council Implementing Regulation (EU) No 125/2014 is void insofar as it concerns the PKK because no decision by a competent authority, as required by Article 1(4) of Council Common Position 2001/931/CFSP has been taken.

4.

Fourth plea in law, alleging that Council Implementing Regulation (EU) No 125/2014 is void insofar as it concerns the PKK as the decision is in part based on information obtained through torture or ill-treatment, thereby failing to respect the fundamental rights, observe the principles and promote the application thereof in accordance with Article 51 of the Charter of Fundamental Rights.

5.

Fifth plea in law, alleging that Council Implementing Regulation (EU) No 125/2014 is void insofar as it concerns the PKK since the Council has not conducted any proper review as required by Article 1(6) of Council Common Position 2001/931/CFSP.

6.

Sixth plea in law, alleging that Council Implementing Regulation (EU) No 125/2014 is void insofar as it concerns the PKK as the decision does not comply with the requirements of proportionality and subsidiarity.

7.

Seventh plea in law, alleging that Council Implementing Regulation (EU) No 125/2014 is void insofar as it concerns the PKK as it does not comply with the obligation to state reasons in conformity with Article 296 TFUE.

8.

Eighth plea in law, alleging that Council Implementing Regulation (EU) No 125/2014 is void insofar as it concerns the PKK because it infringes upon the PKK’s right of defense and it’s right to effective judicial protection.
