Action brought on 31 October 2014 — ZZ v Commission
(Case F-127/14)
(2015/C 007/78)
Language of the case: French

Parties


Applicant: ZZ (represented by: A. Salerno, lawyer)

Defendant: European Commission

Subject-matter and description of the proceedings

Application to annul the Commission’s decision refusing to re-calculate the bonus on the application’s pension rights acquired in the European Union pension scheme pursuant to the new general implementing provisions for Articles 11 and 12 of Annex VIII to the Staff Regulations of Officials.

Form of order sought

The applicant claims that the Tribunal should:






—


Annul the Commission’s decision of 27 January 2014 rejecting the applicant’s request, made on 6 January 2014, for re-calculation of the years of pensionable service credited following the transfer of his pension rights from the German pension system to the Community pension scheme;










—


Order the Commission to pay all the costs of the proceedings, irrespective of the outcome of the action, on the grounds that the response to the request was so ill-adapted to it that the applicant was obliged, in order to obtain a genuine examination of the complaints he submitted, to bring legal action.

New national sides of euro circulation coins
(2014/C 385/05)
On 23 July 2014 the Council of the European Union decided that the Republic of Lithuania fulfils the necessary conditions for the adoption of the euro on 1 January 2015 (1).
From 1 January 2015 the Republic of Lithuania will therefore issue euro coins, subject to the approval by the ECB of the volume of the issue (cf. Article 128(2) of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union).
Euro circulation coins have legal tender status throughout the euro area. The Commission publishes all new euro coin designs (2) with a view to informing all parties required to handle coins in the course of their work as well as the public at large.






















































Issuing country
: Republic of Lithuania


Date of issue
: January 2015

Description of the designs

All denominations show the Coat of Arms of the Republic of Lithuania. At the bottom, the name of the issuing country ‘LIETUVA’ with the mint mark at its left side. On the top right side of the design, the year of issuance ‘2015’.
The differences in design consist of inserted artistic elements — lines — in the background of the stars in two of the three designs: the laying of lines in the vertical position as in 1 and 2 euro coins and the horizontal position as in 10, 20 and 50 euro cent. The background of stars in the design of the 1, 2 and 5 euro cent is plain.
The coin’s outer ring depicts the 12 stars of the European flag.
The edge-lettering of the 2-euro coin bears the inscription ‘LAISVĖ * VIENYBĖ * GEROVĖ *’, meaning Liberty-Solidarity-Prosperity.
