Judgment_paragraph 34 · Direct Way and Directway Worldwide v European Parliament (T-126/13)

34Nor is such a decision an act which, according to the consistent practice of the institution concerned, is published in the Official Journal. Unlike the situations referred to in the case-law on the obligation to notify (judgment of 19 June 2009 in Qualcomm v Commission, T‑48/04, ECR, EU:T:2009:212, paragraphs 43 to 58) and on the practice of publication (judgments of 15 June 2005 in Olsen v Commission, T‑17/02, ECR, EU:T:2005:218, paragraphs 72 to 87, and in TF1 v Commission, cited in paragraph 31 above, EU:T:2009:66, paragraphs 34 to 36), it should be stated that, in the present case, the award decision was not published in the Official Journal or on the Internet. The Parliament merely published, on 8 January 2013, a contract award notice containing brief information that did not allow the applicants effectively to exercise their right to bring proceedings before the Courts of the European Union. Accordingly, that date cannot constitute the date on which time began to run for the purpose of bringing the action for annulment.
