Melli Bank (Melli II - CFI)

The Court dismisses the claims brought by Melli Bank against a Council Common Position, foreseeing restrictive measures, i.e. the freezing of its funds, by reason of its links with the Iranian State.

All pleas in law, i.e. the breach of the principle of equal treatment, of the principle of proportionality and of the right to property, and breach of the rights of the defence, of the right to effective judicial protection and of the obligation to state reasons, are rejected.
