Having regard to Directive (EU) 2016/797 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 11 May 2016 on the interoperability of the rail system within the European Union (1), and in particular Article 5(11) thereof,

Whereas:

The Bulgarian, German, Polish, Portuguese and Slovenian language versions of Commission Regulation (EU) No 1303/2014 (2) contain errors in the definition of ‘railway tunnel’ laid down in Section 2.4, point (a), of the Annex thereto, which hamper the correct interpretation of the term.












(2)


The Bulgarian, German, Polish, Portuguese and Slovenian language versions of Regulation (EU) No 1303/2014 should therefore be corrected accordingly. The other language versions are not affected.












(3)


The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Committee referred to in Article 29(1) of Directive 2008/57/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council (3), delivered prior to the adoption of Regulation (EU) No 1303/2014,

Applicant: M.M., acting as successor in title to M.R.

Defendant: Ministero della Difesa

Operative part of the order

Clause 5 of the framework agreement on fixed-term work concluded on 18 March 1999 which is set out in the annex to Council Directive 1999/70/EC of 28 June 1999 concerning the framework agreement on fixed-term work concluded by ETUC, UNICE and CEEP
must be interpreted as precluding national legislation which excludes civilian staff, responsible for teaching non-military subjects in military schools, from the application of rules designed to penalise the misuse of successive fixed-term contracts, in so far as that legislation does not include any other effective measure to prevent and, where relevant, penalise the misuse of successive fixed-term contracts. Reasons relating to the organisational requirements of those schools are not capable of constituting ‘objective reasons’ justifying the renewal of such contracts with such teaching staff responsible for teaching such subjects, within the meaning of clause 5(1)(a) of that framework agreement.

Language of the case: French

Parties


Applicants: UL and six other applicants (represented by: A. Guillerme, T. Bontinck and F. Patuelli, lawyers)

Defendant: European External Action Service

Forms of order sought

The applicants claim that the Court should:






—


annul the contested decisions;










—


recognise the applicants’ entitlement to the education allowance for their children who are under five years old, calculated in accordance with Article 15 of Annex X to the Staff Regulations and taking the exceptional circumstances concerning them into account;










—


order the defendant to pay the costs.





Pleas in law and main arguments

In support of the action against the decisions of the European External Action Service (EEAS) by which it refused to take into account the crèche and school costs borne by the applicants in respect of the education allowance, the applicants rely on four pleas in law.






1.


First plea in law, alleging an error of law in the application of Article 15 of Annex X to the Staff Regulations of Officials of the European Union (‘the Staff Regulations’) and a plea of illegality in respect of the provisions of the EU Delegations’ Guide relating to the education allowance.










2.


Second plea in law, alleging an error of law and a manifest error of assessment by the EEAS by applying a lower threshold than that provided for in Article 15 of Annex X to the Staff Regulations, and a plea of illegality in respect of the provisions of the EU Delegations’ Guide relating to the education allowance.










3.


Third plea in law, alleging an error of law, a manifest error of assessment and a breach of the duty to have regard to the welfare of officials by the EEAS when finding that the applicants were not exceptional within the meaning of Article 15 of Annex X to the Staff Regulations.










4.


Fourth plea in law, alleging infringement of the principle of non-discrimination between (i) parents of children aged three to five and parents of children under three years old and (ii) between parents of children under five years old and parents of children over five years old, and also alleging infringement of the principle of proportionality.
