Action brought on 17 March 2023 — VI v Commission
(Case T-147/23)
(2023/C 179/86)
Language of the case: Italian

Parties


Applicant: VI (represented by: M. Velardo, lawyer)

Defendant: European Commission

Form of order sought

The applicant claims that the Court should:






—


annul the following decisions:






—


decision of 20 May 2022 by which the applicant was informed that she had obtained 53 points for the assessment by Talent Screener in Competition EPSO/AST/150/21 for laboratory technicians, whereas the minimum number of points for admission to the next stage was 57 points; and










—


decision of the appointing authority of 8 December 2022, ARES (2022) s.9324205, rejecting the complaint lodged on 14 June 2022 and registered under number No R/30/22 under Article 90(2) of the Staff Regulations of Officials and the Conditions of Employment of Other Servants of the European Union.









Pleas in law and main arguments

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






1.


First plea in law, alleging manifest error of assessment in the evaluation of the diplomas and of the length of the applicant’s professional experience, which was arbitrarily reduced by the Selection Board, and infringement of the competition notice, which did not allow for redistribution of the length of professional experience within the various criteria of the Talent Screener.










2.


Second plea in law, alleging infringement of Article 1(1) of Annex III to the Staff Regulations, in so far as the Selection Board did not have the power to determine the weighting factors.










3.


Third plea in law, alleging infringement of Articles 27 and 29 of, and of the first paragraph of Article 5 of Annex III to, the Staff Regulations, in so far as the Selection Board failed to ascertain the accuracy of the degrees and professional experience declared by the candidates in the Talent Screener before drawing up the list of candidates admitted to the next stage at the assessment centre.

Language of the case: Swedish

Referring court

Svea hovrätt (Mark- och miljööverdomstolen)

Parties to the main proceedings


Appellant: Naturvårdsverket

Respondent: Nouryon Functional Chemicals AB

Questions referred







1.


Is the exemption for units for the incineration of hazardous waste in clause 5 of Annex I to the Emission Allowance Trading Directive – (1) that all units in which fuels are combusted are to be included in the greenhouse gas emissions permit, other than units for the incineration of hazardous waste — applicable to all units which incinerate hazardous waste, or must there be some qualifying factor in order for the exemption to be applied? If such a factor is necessary, is the purpose of the unit thus to be decisive for application of the exemption, or can other factors also be relevant?










2.


If the unit’s purpose is decisive to the assessment, is the exemption still to be applied to a unit which incinerates hazardous waste but which has a main purpose other than that incineration?










3.


If the exemption applies only to a unit which has as its main purpose the incineration of hazardous waste, which criteria are to be used in the assessment of the purpose?










4.


If, in an assessment, it is decisive whether the unit is to be regarded as an integral part of an activity in an installation for which a permit is required under the directive — for example, as set out in section 3.3.3 of the Commission Guidance — which requirements are thus to be set in order for the unit to be regarded as an integral part thereof? Can it be required, for example, that the production must be impossible or not allowed without the unit (see Commission Guidance, page 14, footnote 14), or can it be sufficient for the unit to be technically linked to the installation and accept hazardous waste only from that installation?
