(Case T-706/25)

(C/2026/115)
Language of the case: English

Parties


Applicant: International and European Public Services Organisation (IPSO) (Frankfurt am Main, Germany) (represented by: S. Pappas and A. Pappas, lawyers)

Defendant: European Central Bank

Form of order sought

The applicant claims that the Court should:






—


annul the three contested letters, dated 15 May 2025, 17 July 2025 and 1 August 2025 respectively; and










—


order the defendant to bear its costs as well as the applicant’s cost for the present proceedings.





Pleas in law and main arguments

In support of the action, seeking the annulment of the European Central Bank’s letters of, first, 15 May 2025, by which the ECB concluded that IPSO’s Vice-President had breached his professional obligations by making press statements as a staff representative and instructed him to refrain from making such comments in the future, secondly, 17 July 2025, by which the ECB imposed new ‘boundaries’ on staff representatives’ media engagement, narrowing the scope of their mandate and, thirdly, 1 August 2025, by which the ECB rejected the applicant’s request to withdraw the earlier letters and confirmed their reasoning, extending their restrictive interpretation also to trade unions, the applicant relies on eight pleas in law.






1.


First plea in law, alleging erroneous interpretation of Article 0.3.2.5 of the ECB Staff Rules and infringement of the principle of proportionality, freedom of expression and freedom of association.










2.


Second plea in law, alleging erroneous interpretation and application of the duty of loyalty.










3.


Third plea in law, alleging erroneous interpretation and application of the concept of ‘evidence’.










4.


Fourth plea in law, alleging lack of proportionality of the requirement for staff representatives to take corrective action after press coverage.










5.


Fifth plea in law, alleging that the CSO lacked the competence to adopt the letters of 15 May 2025 and 17 July 2025.










6.


Sixth plea in law, alleging infringement of the right to be heard.










7.


Seventh plea in law, alleging error of fact.










8.


Eighth plea in law, alleging error of assessment as to the alleged breach of professional obligations.

Designation of a Judge to replace a Judge who is prevented from acting
(C/2025/5488)


1)   

At its plenum on 22 September 2025, the General Court decided that, from 22 September 2025, in those cases in which a Judge is prevented from acting, referred to in the second sentence of Article 17(3) and the second sentence of Article 24(2), respectively, of the Rules of Procedure of the General Court, the President of the General Court shall replace the Judge prevented from acting.
