Action brought on 8 January 2014 — Bergallou v Parliament and Council
(Case T-22/14)
2014/C 112/56
Language of the case: French

Parties


Applicant: Amal Bergallou (Lot, Belgium) (represented by: M. Velardo, lawyer)

Defendants: Council of the European Union and European Parliament

Form of order sought







—


Annul provisions including Article 7 (travelling time) of Annex V to the Staff Regulations and Article 8 (travel expenses) of Annex VII to the Staff Regulations, as amended by Regulation (EU, Euratom) No 1023/2013 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 22 October 2013 amending the Staff Regulations of Officials of the European Union and the Conditions of Employment of Other Servants of the European Union [(OJ 2013 L 287, p. 15)], in so far as the entitlement to travel expenses and travelling time is linked to the expatriation or foreign-residence allowance;










—


Order the defendant to pay the applicant the amount of EUR 165 596,42 for the pecuniary loss suffered and the amount of EUR 40 000 for the non-pecuniary harm;










—


Order the defendant to pay damages with late-payment and compensatory interest at the rate of 6,75 % in respect of the pecuniary and non-pecuniary loss suffered;










—


Order the defendant to pay the costs incurred by the applicant in the present proceedings.





Pleas in law and main arguments

In support of the action, the applicant — whose place of origin is in Morocco, but who does not receive the expatriation or foreign-residence allowance and, as a result, following the reform of the Staff Regulations of Officials of the European Union, loses the right to the lump-sum payment of the travel expenses and the increase in annual leave by additional days of leave for travelling time, relies on five pleas in law, which are, in essence, identical to those put forward in Case T-20/14 Nguyen v Parliament and Council.
