Action brought on 25 September 2023 — PS v SEAE
(Case T-594/23)
(C/2023/773)
Language of the case: English

Parties


Applicant: PS (represented by: S. Rodrigues and A. Champetier, lawyers)

Defendant: European External Action Service

Form of order sought

The applicant claims that the Court should:






—


annul the decision of the defendant dated 14 June 2023 rejecting the applicant’s complaint of 22 December 2022;










—


order the defendant to compensate the professional damage (assessed to 135 000 euros) and the moral damage (assessed to 25 000 euros); and










—


order the defendant to pay all the costs incurred by the applicant for the present appeal.





Pleas in law and main arguments

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






1.


First plea in law, alleging that the defendant committed faults stemming from a significant lack of duty of care and misconduct of the administration, in relation to:






–


the pre-posting compulsory seminar to which the applicant was denied attendance; and










–


the refusal to sign a two-year lease housing contract in Washington.














2.


Second plea in law, alleging that the defendant committed faults with regard to:






–


the actions and decisions taken by the defendant during the recruitment and taking up of duty;










–


the maladministration and management regarding the attribution of responsibilities.














3.


Third plea in law, alleging that the applicant suffered professional and moral prejudices:






–


the faulty behaviour of the administration led to a degradation in his professional level and prestige. Indeed, the applicant was never assigned the responsibilities and function he was hired for and as a result of his work circumstances during the relevant period, the applicant’s professional career has suffered an irreparable professional damage;










–


the defendant’s behaviour has caused him stress and anxiety, since he was under-estimated in his professional capacities, leading to a sick leave prescription.














4.


Fourth plea in law, alleging a flagrant link of causality between the fault committed by the defendant and the harm suffered by the applicant.

Questions referred







1.


Do Articles 108 and 288 TFEU and Articles 16 and 31 of [Regulation (EU) No 2015/1589] (1) preclude national legislation, such as Article 48 of Law No 234 of 24 December 2012, which allows the national authority, during the implementation stage of recovery, to broaden the circle of persons required to repay the unlawful aid, by means of an assessment concerning economic continuity between undertakings, without excluding that power where the Commission has already identified the direct beneficiaries, thereby excluding the Commission’s competence in relation to State aid?










2.


Do Articles 263 and 288 TFEU, Articles 41 and 47 of the [Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union] and Articles 16 and 31 of [Regulation (EU) No 2015/1589] preclude national legislation, such as Article 48 of Law No 234 of 24 December 2012 on State aid, in so far as — in providing that the State, when implementing a recovery decision, is to identify, where necessary, the persons required to repay the aid — it also permits the decision to be implemented with regard to a person other than the addressees of the decision who is autonomous, did not participate in the procedure before the Commission, did not have the right to be heard and, consequently, does not have legal standing to contest that decision before the General Court of the European Union?
