(Case T-90/25)

(C/2025/2095)
Language of the case: English

Parties


Applicant: WS (represented by: H. Tettenborn, lawyer)

Defendant: European Commission

Form of order sought

The applicant claims that the Court should:






—


Annul the decision of the European Commission to reject the applicant’s request for access to the Commission’s documents related to EPSO tools ‘Talent’ and ‘Recruiter Portal’ pursuant to Regulation (EC) No 1049/2001; (1)











—


Order the European Commission to pay the costs.





Pleas in law and main arguments

In support of the action, the applicant relies on the following plea in law.
By this plea in law, the applicant claims that EPSO/the Commission breached its obligation to comply with Article 2(1) and Article 8 of Regulation (EC) No 1049/2001.






—


The applicant is a citizen of the EU and therefore is a beneficiary of the right of access to documents of the institutions according to Article 2(1) of the regulation 1049/2001.










—


At the end of the extended deadline on 22 November 2024, the Commission did not grant access to the requested documents, but sent a ‘holding reply’ which is de facto a refusal of the applicant’s request without giving any reason.










—


The Commission has therefore unlawfully denied the applicant access to the documents requested and has thus breached its obligation under Article 2(1) of Regulation No 1049/2001 and also breached Article 8 of the said Regulation.






(1)  Regulation (EC) No 1049/2001 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 30 May 2001 regarding public access to European Parliament, Council and Commission documents (OJ 2001 L 145, p. 43).
