was converted to Grade A*12, step 7, with a multiplication
factor of 0.9442490 (in accordance with Article 2(2) of
Annex XIII to the Staff Regulations). On 1 July 2004, the appli-
cant moved to Grade A*12, step 8, with the same multiplication
factor. On 22 July 2005, the applicant was promoted, with
retrospective effect from 1 May 2004, to Grade A*13, step 1,
with a multiplication factor of 1.1172071 (in accordance with
Article 7(6) of Annex XIII to the Staff Regulations). With effect
from 1 May 2006, he was classified in Grade AD 13, step 5,
with a multiplication factor of 1, pursuant to a decision of DG
ADMIN of 11 May 2006.

In his action, the applicant claims that such a classification (i)
breaches, inter alia, Articles 44 and 46 of the Staff Regulations
and Article 7 of Annex XIII to the Staff Regulations;
is
vitiated by a lack of competence; (iii) breaches the principle of
protection of legitimate expectations. In particular, according to
the applicant, the Commission's interpretation of Article 7(7) of
Annex XIII to the Staff Regulations is incorrect in that it takes
the view that, where a multiplication factor is higher than 1, the
excess should be converted to seniority in step.
