            COUNCIL DECISION (EU) 2020/556
of 21 April 2020
         
extending the temporary derogation from the Council’s Rules of Procedure introduced by Decision (EU) 2020/430 in view of the travel difficulties caused by the COVID-19 pandemic in the Union


THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION,

Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, and in particular Article 240(3) thereof,

Whereas:







(1)


Council Decision (EU) 2020/430 (1) introduced a one-month derogation from the first subparagraph of Article 12(1) of the Council’s Rules of Procedure (2) as regards decisions to use the ordinary written procedure, where those decisions are taken by the Committee of the Permanent Representatives of the Governments of the Member States (Coreper). That derogation expires on 23 April 2020.












(2)


Decision (EU) 2020/430 provides that, if justified by continued exceptional circumstances, the Council may renew that Decision.












(3)


Given that the exceptional circumstances caused by the COVID-19 pandemic continue, with a number of extraordinary preventive and containment measures taken by Member States still in place, it is necessary to extend the derogation provided for in Article 1 of Decision (EU) 2020/430 for a further period of one month,





HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:



Article 1
The derogation provided for in Article 1 of Decision (EU) 2020/430 is hereby extended for a period of one month from 23 April 2020.


Article 2
This Decision shall take effect on the date of its adoption.
It shall be published in the Official Journal of the European Union.




Done at Brussels, 21 April 2020.

Action brought on 21 April 2020 — CH and CN v Parliament

(Case T-222/20)
(2020/C 201/66)
Language of the case: French

Parties


Applicants: CH and CN (represented by: C. Bernard-Glanz, lawyer)

Defendant: European Parliament

Forms of order sought

The applicants claims that the Court should:






—


declare their application admissible;










—


annul the contested decisions in so far as they do not adopt any final decision on the veracity of the incidents of alleged psychological harassment;










—


order the defendant to pay the applicants EUR 5 000 each ex aequo et bono in damages for the harm and suffering caused by undue delay, to be increased by late payment interest until paid in full;










—


order the defendant to pay the applicants EUR 100 000 each ex aequo et bono in damages for the harm and suffering caused by the failure to adopt a final decision on the veracity of incidents of alleged psychological harassment, to be increased by late payment interest until paid in full;










—


order the defendant to pay the costs.





Pleas in law and main arguments

The applicants rely on two pleas in law in support of the action against the decisions of the Parliament of 13 September 2019 by which the authority empowered to conclude contracts of employment of that institution, in response to their requests for assistance, did not adopt a final decision on the veracity of the incidents of alleged psychological harassment.






1.


The first plea in law alleges breach of the duty of assistance and of Article 24 of the Staff Regulations of Officials of the European Union (the Staff Regulations), on the ground that, by not adopting a final decision on whether the incidents of alleged psychological harassment were true, the Parliament’s authority empowered to conclude contracts of employment failed in its duty of assistance.










2.


The second plea in law alleges breach of duty of care and the principle of sound administration, on the one hand, and of breach of the right to human dignity and Articles 1 and 31 of the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union, on the other, on the ground that by not adopting a final decision on whether the incidents of alleged psychological harassment were true, the Parliament’s authority empowered to conclude contracts of employment breached the principle of sound administration and its duty of care, thereby breaching the applicants’ right to human dignity.
