Summary Officials — Competitions — Competition based on qualifications and tests — Conditions for admission — Supporting documents — Candidates’ obligation to ensure that documents are adequate (Staff Regulations, Annex III, Art. 2) It is, as a general rule, for a candidate in a competition to provide the selection board with all the information and documents which he regards as necessary for the purposes of examining his application in order to enable the selection board to determine whether he fulfils the conditions laid down by the competition notice, all the more so if he has been expressly and formally requested to do so. The selection board, when giving its decision on the admission of candidates to a competition or their exclusion from it, is therefore entitled to limit its examination to the application forms and the documents annexed thereto.
