JUDGMENT OF THE CIVIL SERVICE TRIBUNAL (Second Chamber)
22 November 2007
Case F-34/06
Christos Michail
v
Commission of the European Communities
(Civil service – Officials – Appraisal – Career development report – 2004 appraisal – Action for annulment – Action for damages)
Application: brought under Articles 236 EC and 152 EA, in which Mr Michail seeks annulment of his career development report for the period
from 1 January to 31 December 2004, annulment of the decision of 4 November 2005 rejecting his complaint against the 2004
career development report, and an order for the Commission to pay him compensation of EUR 120 000 for the non-material damage
he alleges he has suffered.
Held: The action is dismissed. Each party is to bear its own costs.
Summary
Officials – Reports procedure – Career development report
(Staff Regulations, Art. 43)
Since an assessment cannot be made of an official’s ability, efficiency and conduct in the service for a period when he was
not assigned any duties, it follows that an official cannot complain that his career development report for a particular year
does not include an assessment for such a period.
