The applicant claims that the Court should:

— order the Commission to pay the costs.

— annul the Commission’s decision establishing the calcu-
lation of the pension rights acquired by the applicant
prior to his entry into service and transferred to the
Community pension scheme pursuant to Article 11(2) of
Annex VIII of the Staff Regulations;

— order the Commission to pay the costs.

Pleas in law and main arguments

In support of his claim, the applicant pleads non-compliance
with the obligation to provide a statement of reasons and
infringement of Article 11(2) of Annex VIII to the Staff
Regulations and of the general provisions for the implemen-
tation thereof, as well as breach of the principle of equal
treatment. According to the applicant, the calculation should
have been carried out on the basis of his situation at the time
of entering the service of the Communities as a member of the
temporary staff, and not on the basis of his situation at the
time of his being appointed as an established official, some
nine years later.
