Action brought on 26 March 2021 — QM v Europol
(Case T-164/21)
(2021/C 189/24)
Language of the case: French

Parties


Applicant: QM (represented by: N. de Montigny, lawyer)

Defendant: European Union Agency for Law Enforcement Cooperation (Europol)

Form of order sought

The applicant claims that the Court should:






—


annul the decision of 27 May 2020 not to extend the applicant’s contract for an indefinite duration;










—


annul, to the extent necessary, in so far as it adds further reasoning, the decision of 18 December 2020 rejecting the complaint;










—


order the defendant to pay the costs.





Pleas in law and main arguments

In support of the action, the applicant relies on five pleas in law.






1.


First plea in law, alleging that the authority authorised to conclude contracts of employment (‘AACC’) erred in the application of the criteria for assessing the candidate for renewal and, more specifically, in the interpretation of the concept of ‘foreseeable future needs’ which, at the time the decision was adopted, had never been agreed upon or even established.










2.


Second plea in law, alleging an infringement of the right to be heard in an effective manner before the decision adversely affecting a particular person is adopted.










3.


Third plea in law, alleging a breach of the duty of sound administration and of the applicant’s legitimate right to be assessed on the basis of the established skills required for the post. The applicant criticises the decision on the ground that it was adopted on the basis of prejudice and fear but without an effective examination of his skills.










4.


Fourth plea in law, alleging a manifest error of assessment by the AACC in assessing the applicant’s profile and skills.










5.


Fifth plea in law, alleging a misuse of rights and breach of the duty of care.

New national side of euro coins intended for circulation
(2021/C 104/04)




National side of the new commemorative 2-euro coin intended for circulation and issued by Lithuania

Euro coins intended for circulation have legal tender status throughout the euro area. For the purpose of informing the public and all parties who handle the coins, the Commission publishes a description of the designs of all new coins (1). In accordance with the Council conclusions of 10 February 2009 (2), euro-area Member States and countries that have concluded a monetary agreement with the European Union providing for the issuing of euro coins are allowed to issue commemorative euro coins intended for circulation, provided that certain conditions are met, particularly that only the 2-euro denomination is used. These coins have the same technical characteristics as other 2-euro coins, but their national face features a commemorative design that is highly symbolic in national or European terms.

Issuing country: Lithuania

Subject of commemoration: UNESCO’s Man and the Biosphere Programme - Žuvintas Biosphere Reserve

Description of the design: The design depicts the characteristic surroundings of Žuvintas Biosphere Reserve, which belongs to the World Network of Biosphere Reserves of UNESCO’s Man and the Biosphere Programme: remote islands of a unique bird lake and Lithuania’s largest wetland as well as its distinctive animals.
In the foreground there is a great bittern reaching for a fire-bellied toad floating in the water. In rushes depicted on the right there is an aquatic warbler, above – a flock of common cranes and a mute swan, symbolising the establishment of the Reserve.
The design is surrounded by inscriptions LIETUVA (LITHUANIA), ŽUVINTAS, UNESCO, the year of issue (2021) and the mintmark of the Lithuanian Mint.
The design is realised by Eglė Ratkutė and Ernestas Žemaitis.
The coin’s outer ring depicts the 12 stars of the European flag.

Estimated number of coins to be issued: 500 000

Date of issue: Second quarter of 2021
