Court formation: First Chamber
Based on: Merger Treaty (1965)
Subject matter: Staff regulations and employment conditions - EC
Procedure: Staff cases - inadmissible

Summary Officials — Actions — Act adversely affecting an official — Decision by the European Personnel Selection Office (EPSO) to extend the deadline for registration for a competition — No prior administrative complaint — Manifest inadmissibility (Staff Regulations, Arts 90 and 91) Except where an action is directed against a measure not of the appointing authority itself, such as a decision of a competition selection board or a staff report, failure to lodge a prior complaint within the required time-limit renders the action inadmissible. An action against a decision to extend the deadline for registration for a competition taken by the European Personnel Selection Office (EPSO) in its capacity as the organising authority for the competitions concerned and not by the selection board in those competitions must necessarily be the subject of a prior administrative complaint. Failing that, such an action is manifestly inadmissible.
