Pleas in law and main arguments

Defendant: European Parliament

Form of order sought

— declare that Articles 5 and 12 of Annex XIII of the Staff

Regulations are unlawful;

— annul the individual decisions appointing the applicants to
an administrator post inasmuch as they determine their clas-
sification pursuant to article 5(2) of Annex XIII to the Staff
Regulations;

— declare that

the implementing measures relating to the
awarding of merit and promotion points are unlawful inas-
much as they provide for the cancellation of merit and
promotion points on transfer from one function group to
another;

In support of his action, the applicant relies, first, on the breach
of Article 233 EC and of the obligation to state reasons inas-
much as it is not possible from the contested decision to know
how the grounds of the abovementioned judgment were taken
into account.

Moreover, the applicant asserts that the contested decision, first,
failed to take into account the aims and objectives pursued by
the new Career Development Review System, and, second,
is
vitiated by inconsistencies between the comments and marks
awarded.

Finally, the applicant relies on the breach of the rights of the
defence inasmuch as the facts on which his appraisal was based
were not disclosed to him either when they were produced or
in the context of the appraisal procedure.

— annul

the individual decisions to cancel

the merit and
promotion points accumulated by the applicants in their
former category;

— annul the individual decisions to apply a multiplier lower

than 1 to determine the applicants' remuneration;

— order the defendant to pay the costs.

Pleas in law and main arguments

The applicants assert pleas in law very similar to those relied on
in Case F-31/06 (1)

(1) OJ C 131 of 3.6.2006, p. 50.
