Appeal:

Appeal dismissed.

The applicant claims that the Court should:

— annul the act of the European Commission — European
Communities Personnel Selection Office — communi-
cated by memorandum of 24 March 2003 and notified
to the applicant on 31 March 2003, in which the selection
board decided that the applicant’s application was inad-
missible on the basis of the request for review made by
Mr Milano, annul the decision of 10 February 2003 of
the Commission in which the selection board refused the
applicant admission to the oral test in open competition
COM/A/4/02 ‘Administrators’, and annul the decision of
17 July 2003 of the appointing authority in which the
complaint submitted by Mr Milano under Article 90(2)
of the Staff Regulations and lodged at DG ADMIN on
24 April 2003 with number R/187/03 was rejected;

— full compensation in damages for economic and moral

infringed.

— It is not to be denied that the
mark has the distinctiveness
necessary for registration.

ability is not apparent.

— recovery of costs

Pleas and main arguments

This action is brought against the decision of the selection
board for open competition COM/A/4/02 ‘Administrators’,
through qualifications and an oral
test, with a view to
constituting a reserve list for the recruitment of a head of
representation in grade A3 in Rome, excluding the applicant
test in the above-mentioned
from admission to the oral
competition.

In particular, the ground that the applicant does not have
thorough knowledge of Community institutions, programmes
and policies is contested.
