Pleas in law and main arguments

In support of his action, the applicant alleges an infringement of Article 12a, the second paragraph of Article 25, Article 26 and Article 43 of the Staff Regulations and of the rules for implementing Article 43, as adopted by the Commission on 3 March 2004, an infringement of the Commission decision of 28 April 2004 guaranteeing rates of pay, of the Administrative Guide and of the Guidelines in that regard, misuse of powers and infringement of the general principles of law, including respect for the rights of the defence, the principle of sound administration and the duty to have regard to the welfare of individuals, the principle of equality and infringement of the principles which impose a duty on the Appointing Authority to adopt decisions only on the basis of legally admissible grounds, that is which are relevant and not vitiated by manifest errors of assessment of fact or law.

The applicant next submits that by failing to adopt the assessment in question for 2004 in the circumstances of the present case, the Appointing Authority clearly failed correctly to apply and interpret the provisions of the Staff Regulations and the principles referred to above. Its decision is therefore based on an inaccurate statement of reasons both in fact and law. The applicant is therefore the victim of administrative discrimination and has been placed in a situation which infringes his legitimate expectations and interests and amounts to harassment at work.
