Steinberg's appeal against the EC rejected by the EU General Court

It is quite surprising that this article does not mention the rejection by the European Commission of Gerald Steinberg's demand from the European Commission to get documents relating to funding decisions for grants to Israeli and Palestinian NGO's. Steinberg's requests started in October 2008, his appeal was filed in January 2010, and was rejected in November 2012, with a court order that Steinberg should pay all trial charges. Contrary to what currently appears on the NGO Monitor page, the appeal was made personally by Gerald Steinberg and not by NGO Monitor because Israeli organizations can not appeal to the EU court, and Steinberg apparently used a European passport and concealed his Israeli citizenship, presenting himself as an Israeli resident. Steinberg claimed that the court should reverse the decision of the EC and order it to disclose the documents within 15 days, as well as order the EC to pay the costs. The orders of the court were

• 1. The action is dismissed as, in part, manifestly inadmissible and, in part, manifestly lacking any foundation in law.
• 2. Mr. Gerald Steinberg shall bear his own costs and pay those incurred by the European Commission

Signed by the court in Luxembourg on November 27 2012 See (http://curia.europa.eu/juris/document/document.jsf?text=&docid=131828&doclang=EN) and (http://972mag.com/eu-throws-out-ngo-monitor-case-tells-gerald-steinberg-to-pick-up-the-tab/62491/).רסטיניאק (talk) 22:44, 22 May 2013 (UTC)רסטיניאק

So who paid the costs of the failed appeal of Gerald Steinberg ? and how much ? רסטיניאק (talk) 20:54, 24 May 2013 (UTC)רסטיניאק

For interest, which source is the basis for your statement that "Steinberg apparently used a European passport and concealed his Israeli citizenship" ? Sean.hoyland - talk 06:11, 25 May 2013 (UTC)

First, he could not appeal to the EU court with an Israeli or an American passport. Second, he is most probably entitled to a British passport as he was born, to the best of my knowledge, in the UK. And third - he is described as a "resident of Jerusalem (Israel)" and not as an Israeli Citizen by the official court document which must reflect his registration of the appeal.רסטיניאק (talk) 13:05, 25 May 2013 (UTC)רסטיניאק

Yes, that's what I figured too (he was born in London by the way), but without a reliable source joining the dots it's WP:SYN and can't be included. Sean.hoyland - talk 13:22, 25 May 2013 (UTC)

The Method of operations of Steinberg םמ Wikpedia now exposed

See WP:COIN section 8 which includes now the exposure of Soosim as an employee of NGO Monitor headed by Gerald Steinberg and the main contributor to articles on Misplaced Pages about Steinberg, NGO Monitor, most human rights and peace organizations in Israel as well as quite a few of the World organizations for Human Rights. This needs to be fixed once and for all. Steinberg has been smearing, defaming and villifying human rights organizations under the false pretense of a NGO MOnitor which avoided monitoring all the right wing organizations , including his own. רסטיניאק (talk) 05:46, 27 May 2013 (UTC)רסטיניאק
