Action brought on 8 May 2001 by Orlando Pérez-Dı´az
against the Commission of the European Communities

for Research, on behalf of the Chairman of the Selection
Committee;

(Case T-102/01)

(2001/C 186/28)

(Language of the case: French)

An action against the Commission of the European Communi-
ties was brought before the Court of First Instance of the
European Communities on 8 May 2001 by Orlando Pérez-
Dı´az, residing in Brussels, represented by Marc-Albert Lucas,
avocat.

The applicant claims that the Court should:

— annul

the decision of

the Selection Committee for
selection procedure COM/R/A/01/1999 for temporary
staff not to place the applicant on the reserve list, notified
by letter of 14 July 2000 from the Head of Unit
‘Personnel and Administration’ of the Directorate-General

— order the Commission to pay the costs.

Pleas in law and main arguments

The applicant in the present case challenges his non-inclusion
on the reserve list for selection procedure COM/R/A/01/1999.

In support of his claim the applicant alleges:

— Breach of the first sentence of Article 11, first paragraph,
of the Conditions of Employment of Other Servants and
breach of Article 25 of the Staff Regulations in so far as
the contested decisions are not adequately reasoned;

— Infringement of the principles of objectivity and of sound
administration, failure to take account of the purpose
served by the engagement of temporary staff pursuant to
Article 12(1) of the Conditions of Employment of Other
Servants, and infringement of the principle of equal
treatment in regard to the knowledge of Spanish on the
part of the members of the selection board;

— Manifest error of assessment.
