Appeal brought on 9 July 2014 by Christodoulos Alexandrou against the judgment of the Civil Service Tribunal of 14 May 2014 in Case F-34/13 Alexandrou v Commission
(Case T-515/14 P)
2014/C 292/69
Language of the case: French

Parties


Appellant: Christodoulos Alexandrou (Luxembourg, Luxembourg) (represented by R. Duta, lawyer)

Respondent: European Commission

Form of order sought

The appellant claims that the General Court should:






—


admit the present appeal, declare it well founded;










—


therefore, amend or set aside the judgment under appeal, on the basis of the grounds set out;










—


in so far as is necessary, refer the case in the course of the proceedings to the European Civil Service Tribunal;










—


order the respondent to pay the entirety of the costs and expenses of the two proceedings.





Pleas in law and main arguments

In support of its action, the appellant invokes three grounds of appeal.






1.


First ground of appeal alleges a failure to give sufficient reasons in the contested decision, connected in particular with the Commission’s refusal to grant the appellant’s application to have access to the seven questions which he allegedly failed.










2.


Second ground of appeal alleges an infringement of the right to an effective remedy, in so far as, without having the questions requested at his disposal, the appellant was deprived of the means of an effective remedy against the decision to reject his application.










3.


Third ground of appeal alleges a failure, by the Civil Service Tribunal, to use Article 4(2) of the Rules of Procedure of the Civil Service Tribunal.

(Case T-516/14 P)

Language of the case: French

Parties


Appellant: Christodoulos Alexandrou (Luxembourg, Luxembourg) (represented by R. Duta, lawyer)

Other party to the proceedings: European Commission

Form of order sought by the appellant

The applicant claims that the Court should:






—


without prejudice to any pleas in law and in fact and evidence offered in support to be produced and supplied later, declare the present appeal formally admissible and well founded;










—


consequently, reverse if not set aside the judgment under appeal on the basis of the claims set out;










—


if necessary, refer the case back to the Civil Service Tribunal for it to give judgment in accordance with the judgment to be given on the appeal;










—


order the European Commission to pay all the costs of both sets of proceedings.





Pleas in law and main arguments

In support of the appeal, the appellant relies on three pleas in law.






1.


First plea in law, alleging that the Civil Service Tribunal refused to assess the applicant’s arguments based on Regulation No 1049/2001 (1) and, in particular, Article 9(4) thereof.










2.


Second plea in law, alleging misapplication of the judgment of 29 June 2011 in Angioi v Commission, F-7/07, ECR-SC, EU:F:2011:97, inasmuch as this is a restrictive, obsolete line of case-law inapplicable to non-paper-based competitions.
In the alternative, if the judgment in Angioi v Commission should be found to be applicable, the applicant considers that he satisfies the criteria established by that case-law.










3.


Third plea in law, alleging failure by the Civil Service Tribunal to apply Article 44(2) of the Rules of Procedure of the Civil Service Tribunal.
