Pleas in law and main arguments

By the above appeal, the appellant asks the General Court to set aside the judgment of the Civil Service Tribunal of 15 June 2010 in Case F-35/08 Pachtitis v Commission annulling the decisions of the European Personnel Selection Office of 31 May 2007 and 6 December 2007 whereby Dimitrios Pachtitis was excluded from the list of the 110 candidates who obtained the highest marks in the pre-selection tests of the open competition EPSO/AD/77/06, and ordering the Commission to bear its own costs and to pay those of Mr Pachtitis.
In support of its appeal, the Commission relies on the following pleas in law:






—


infringement of Articles 1, 5 and 7 of Annex ΙΙΙ to the Staff Regulations of Officials of the European Communities;










—


infringement of Community law, and in particular Article 2 of Decision 2002/620/ΕC (1) and Article 1 of Decision 2002/621/ΕC, (2) on the establishment of the European Personnel Selection Office;










—


infringement of the obligation to state reasons for decisions.
