The General Court of the EU has granted applications brought by Tri Ocean Energy (TOE) and its subsidiary Tri-Ocean Trading (TOT) for their listings on the EU’s sanctions against Syria to be annulled. The judgments are here: Case T-719/14 Tri Ocean Energy v Council & Case T-709/14 Tri-Ocean Trading v Council. There were 2 main reasons for this result:
