in Strassen (Luxembourg),

The applicant claims that the Court of First Instance should:

— annul the decision of the appointing authority of 5 May

2003 inasmuch as it:

— did not classify the applicant in Grade B4, step 3, at the

time of his recruitment;

— did not reconstitute the applicant's career in terms of
his grade by bringing forward the date of his promotion
to Grade B3 and granting him, if it so be, promotion to
Grade B2;

— limited the date of effect of the reclassification decision
in regard to its pecuniary effects to 5 October 1995;

— in so far as necessary annul the implied decision of the
appointing authority of 14 December 2003, rejecting his
complaint R/487/03;

— order the defendant to pay compensation provisionally set
in the amount of EUR 125 000 per annum in the event
that, owing to impossibility, it is unable to reconstitute the
applicant's career in terms of his grade;

— order the defendant to pay all the costs.

Pleas and main arguments

The applicant in these proceedings who, on his recruitment in
September 1994, was classified in Grade B5, step 3, challenges
the decision of the appointing authority classifying him, on
revision,
in Grade B4, step 2, and not in Grade B4, step 3,
refusing to reconstitute his career and limiting the date of effect
of the decision on his reclassification to 5 October 1995.

The pleas raised are identical to those in Case T-125/04 Rous-
seaux v Commisison

An action against the Commission of the European Commu-
nities was brought before the Court of First Instance of the
European Communities on 29 March 2004 by Carla Piccinni-
Leopardi, residing in Brussels, represented by Sébastien Orlandi,
Albert Coolen, Jean-Noël Louis and Etienne Marchal, lawyers,
with an address for service in Luxembourg.

The applicant claims that the Court should:

— annul the Commission decision of 14 April 2003 inasmuch
as it fixes the classification at recruitment of the applicant
at the second step of her grade, reviews and fixes 1 April
1999 as the date for her classification at Grade A5, Step 3,
and restricts the pecuniary effects of
its decision to 5
October 1995;

— order the defendant to pay the costs.

Pleas in law and main arguments

The pleas put forward in the present case are the same as those
relied on in Case T-402/03 Katalagarianakis v Commission (OJ
2004 C 35, p. 17).
