SUMMARY - CASE T-92/01 
Summary 
Officials — Competitions - Selection Board - Composition - Sufficient stability 
to ensure consistent assessment of candidates 
(Staff Regulations, Annex III, Art. 3) 
The wide discretion enjoyed by a competition selection board or a selection 
committee in determining the procedures for and detailed content of the oral tests 
to be undergone by the candidates must be counterbalanced by scrupulous 
observance of the rules governing the organisation of those tests. The Selection 
Board or Committee must therefore ensure that the principle of equal treatment is 
complied with strictly in relation to the candidates in the course of those oral tests 
and that the choice made between the persons concerned is objective. To that end, 
it is obliged to ensure consistent application of the assessment criteria to all the 
candidates concerned by making sure inter alia that its composition is stable.
