Action brought on 19 August 2019 — DV and Others v Commission
(Case T-576/19)
(2019/C 357/48)
Language of the case: French

Parties


Applicants: DV and 10 other applicants (represented by: S. Orlandi and T. Martin, lawyers)

Defendant: European Commission

Form of order sought

The applicants claim that the Court should:






—


annul the decisions determining the number of paid annual leave days for the applicants for 2019;










—


in any event, order the Commission to pay the costs.





Pleas in law and main arguments

In support of the action, the applicants rely on a single plea in law, raising an objection of illegality directed against Article 6 of Annex X to the Staff Regulations of Officials of the European Union for the same reasons as stated by the Court in the judgment of 4 December 2018, Carreras Sequeros and Others v Commission, (T-518/16, EU:T:2018:873). According to the applicant, the defendant institution refused to apply that judgment while its effects are not suspended, which amounts to an unlawful failure to comply with a judgment of the General Court.
