Actions for annulment - Action contesting a Commission decision refusing emergency aid not provided for under the Community rules - Action manifestly unfounded
(EC Treaty, Art. 173, fourth para. (now, after amendment, Art. 230, fourth para., EC); Fourth ACP-EEC Convention signed at Lomé on 15 December 1989, Art. 366; Council Decision 91//482)
$$An action must be dismissed as manifestly unfounded where it is brought by a farmer in French Polynesia against a Commission decision refusing him emergency aid which he had requested in order to repair cyclone damage to his plantation. Council Decision 91/482 on the association of the overseas countries and territories with the European Economic Community makes no provision for the Community to grant individuals emergency aid on request in the event of natural disasters. Nor does Article 366 of the Fourth Lomé Convention mention the payment of special emergency aid to individuals established in the territory of one of the ACP States.
