Gossio concerned an application for annulment of Regulation 560/2005, Council Decision 2010/656/CFSP and Council Implementing Decision 2012/144/CFSP (establishing restrictive measures in view of the situation in Côte d'Ivoire), and of the decision of 17 May 2013 confirming and prolonging the above mentioned restrictive measures in so far as they maintained the listing of the applicant.
