    Judgment of the General Court of the European Union in Case T-261/24 dated 15 July 2026

    General Court of the European Union

    Case no.
    T-261/24
    Decision summary
    The General Court dismissed Birių Krovinių Terminalas UAB's action concerning the prohibition on the purchase, import or transfer of Belarusian potash products and the Council's alleged failure to act. The Court held that parts of the claims were outside its jurisdiction or inadmissible, including because the action was out of time and the Council had not been called upon to act, and rejected the remaining claims; it ordered the applicant to bear its own costs and those of the Council, while Lithuania bore its own costs.
