Operative part of the judgment

The Court:

| 1. | Sets aside the judgment of the Civil Service Tribunal of the European Union (First Chamber) of 11 December 2012 in Cocchi and Falcione v Commission (F-122/10) in so far as it declares admissible and well-founded the action for annulment of the acts (referred to in that judgment as ‘decisions’) of 12 and 23 February 2010, issued by the European Commission to Mr Nicola Falcione and M. Giorgio Cocchi respectively, as those acts withdrew the proposals made to Mr Cocchi and Mr Falcione, stating the result in additional years of pensionable service that a potential transfer of their pension rights would generate. |
