ACTION brought against the decision of the First Board of Appeal of OHIM of 7 September 2005 (Case R 928/2004-1), relating to opposition proceedings between Tengelmann Warenhandelsgesellschaft KG and Daishowa Seiki Co., Ltd,

THE PRESIDENT OF THE FIRST CHAMBER
OF THE COURT OF FIRST INSTANCE
OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES

makes the following

Order

1 By letter lodged at the Court Registry on 28 February 2007, the applicant informed the Court of First Instance, in accordance with Article 99 of the Rules of Procedure of the Court of First Instance, that it wishes to discontinue the proceedings. The applicant indicated that a decision on costs was not necessary as the applicant and the intervener had come to an agreement in that regard.

2 By letter lodged at the Court Registry on 21 March 2007, the defendant informed the Court of that it had no objection to the discontinuance of the proceedings and agreed that each party would bear its own costs.

3 By letter lodged at the Court Registry on 22 March 2007, the intervener confirmed to the Court that the applicant and the intervener had reached an agreement and therefore requested the Court not to rule on costs.

4 Article 87 (1), of the Rules of Procedure provides that a decision as to costs shall be given in the final judgment or in the order which closes the proceedings. The request of the applicant and intervener that no decision as to costs be given by the Court can therefore not be accepted.

5 Article 87(5), second subparagraph, of the Rules of Procedure provides that where discontinuance has been applied for and the parties have come to an agreement on costs, the decision as to costs shall be in accordance with that agreement. The third subparagraph of Article 87(5) provides that if costs are not applied for, the parties shall bear their own costs.

6 In view of the fact that the agreement between the applicant and the intervener does not appear to be an agreement on the costs of the case as such but that the defendant has agreed that each party bear its own costs, it is appropriate to dispose of the costs of the proceeding on that basis namely, by ordering that each party bear its own costs.

On those grounds,

THE PRESIDENT OF THE FIRST CHAMBER

hereby orders:


1. Case T-438/05 is removed from the register of the Court of First Instance.

2. Each party shall bear its own costs.

Luxembourg, 11 May 2007.
