The Federal Administrative Court granted leave to appeal, allowing the complainant to proceed to revision. The dispute concerns the applicability of EU Regulation No 2988/95 to national statutes of limitation governing sanctions. The decisive legal issue is whether the principle of favoring the less severe statute of limitation under Article 2, Paragraph 2, Sentence 2 of Regulation (EC, Euratom) No 2988/95 applies to domestic limitation periods for sanctions, a question the court identified as having fundamental significance for clarification in the upcoming revision proceedings.
