Two Kurdish groups, the PKK and Kongra-Gel will today attempt to persuade the CFI in Luxembourg to annul decisions by the EU Council (made in 2002 and 2004 respectively) to place them on a list of terrorist organisations.
The case (T-229/02) follows the PKK’s successful 2007 appeal to the ECJ to allow its case (brought by Osman Ocalan on its behalf) to proceed. The two groups will argue that the Council failed to give reasons and also that they were on ceasefire at the time the decisions were taken. The Applicants claim that they were and remain entitled to have these decisions expunged from the Community legal order. They are also seeking their costs.
Philip Moser represents the Applicant Mr Ocalan in the ECJ and the CFI.
