BRUSSELS, May 26 (Reuters) - Europe's second-top court on
Wednesday rejected an application by German satellite company
OHB System AG  OHBG.DE  to suspend two public procurement
decisions by the European Space Agency.
    The Luxembourg-based General Court also dismissed OHB's
application for interim relief. 
    "The General Court dismisses the application to suspend the
operation of the decisions of the European Space Agency, acting
in the name and on behalf of the European Commission, providing
for the exclusion of the German company OHB System from the
public contract for the 'Procurement of Galileo transition
satellites," judges said.
