Form of order sought

Form of order sought

The applicant claims that the Civil Service Tribunal should:

— set aside the list of officials promoted under the 2005
promotion procedure in so far as that list does not include
the applicants' names and, incidentally, annul the prepara-
tory measures leading to that decision;

— in the alternative, annul the allocation of promotion points
during the promotion procedure mentioned above, in par-
ticular, in consequence of the recommendations made by
the promotion committees;

— order the defendant to pay the costs.

Pleas in law and main arguments

In support of their action, the applicants put forward five pleas,
alleging:

— in the first, infringement of Article 45 of the Staff Regula-

tions;

— in the second,

infringement of

the General Provisions

implementing that article;

— in the third, infringement of the principle of non-discrimi-

nation and a manifest error of assessment;

— in the fourth, infringement of Articles 6 and 10 of Annex

XIII to the Staff Regulations;

— in the fifth, infringement of the principles of the prohibi-
tion of arbitrary procedure and of the prohibition of the
abuse of powers, and infringement of the obligation to state
reasons.

— annul

the decision adopted by the Commission on 23
November 2005, published in Administrative Notices No
85-2005, in that it did not allocate any priority points to
the applicants, officials in grade A*12, recognising the work
carried out in the interests of the institution for 2004;

— in so far as necessary, annul the express decisions of the
Commission rejecting the complaints made by the appli-
cants pursuant to Article 90(2) of the Staff Regulations;

— order the defendant to pay the costs.

Pleas in law and main arguments

The action is based on infringement of Articles 9 and 13 of the
General Provisions for Implementing Article 45 of the Staff
Regulations and, as a subsidiary plea, on the unlawfulness of
the said provisions in that they result in discrimination and
infringe Article 5(5) of the Staff Regulations.
