Pleas in law and main arguments

Re:

Application, first, for recognition of the occupational origin of
the disease from which the applicant is suffering and, second,
damages for the harm which he claims to have sustained

Operative part of the order

1. The application is dismissed as manifestly inadmissible;

2. The applicant is ordered to bear his own costs and to pay half of

those incurred by the Commission.

(1) OJ C 229, 17.9.2005 (case initially registered before the Court of
First Instance of the European Communities under No T-258/05
and transferred to the European Union Civil Service Tribunal by
order of 15.12.2005).

The applicant, a Commission official employed in Luxembourg,
contests the decision refusing him payment of the expatriation
allowance. He disputes the defendant's argument that he does
not meet the conditions referred to in Article 4(1)(a) of Annex
VII to the Staff Regulations by reason of the fact that, during a
period of five years ending six months before his engagement
by the Community institutions, he was a permanent resident in
Luxembourg and carried on there his usual main occupation.

The applicant also claims that the work he carried out in
Luxembourg in the defendant's building, during which he was
employed by a company governed by private law, should be
regarded as falling within the derogation provided for in the
second indent of Article 4(1)(a) of Annex VII to the Staff Regu-
lations.
