Summary Actions brought by officials — Capacity as defendant — Action brought by a former member of the contract staff of the European External Action Service (EEAS) — Decision of the EEAS concerning reimbursement of expenses — Action directed against the Commission — Inadmissibility (Staff Regulations, Art. 1b(a); Council Decision 2010/427, Arts 5(2) and 6(5)) As far as contract staff of the Commission working in the EU delegations in third countries are concerned, according to the Commission Decision of 4 June 2013 on the exercise of powers conferred by the Staff Regulations on the appointing authority and by the Conditions of Employment of Other Servants on the authority empowered to conclude contracts of employment, the powers of the authority empowered to conclude contracts of employment concerning the reimbursement of expenses are exercised by the European External Action Service (EEAS). Consequently, an action seeking annulment of decisions of the EEAS concerning reimbursement of the removal costs of a former member of the contract staff working in a delegation in a third country must be declared inadmissible in so far as it is directed against the Commission.
