COMPLAINS THAT THE AUTHORS OF THE PERIODIC REPORT STATED THAT HE HAD DONE CERTAIN UNREVISED TRANSLATIONS OUTSIDE HIS WORK OF REVISION . IN FACT AS A REVISER AND APART FROM CERTAIN EXCEPTIONS HE HAD NOT HIMSELF DONE TRANSLATIONS DURING THE PERIOD IN QUESTION . HE THEREFORE CONSIDERS THAT DESCRIPTION OF HIS DUTIES AS AN ATTEMPT TO BELITTLE HIS WORK AS A REVISER .
22 THAT COMPLAINT REPRESENTS A MISCONCEPTION BY THE APPLICANT OF HIS DUTIES INASMUCH AS THE WORK OF A REVISER CANNOT BE DISSOCIATED FROM THE WORK OF TRANSLATION IN A WIDE SENSE SINCE EVERY REVISER MUST BE ABLE IF NECESSARY TO DO TRANSLATIONS NOT SUBJECT TO SUBSEQUENT REVISION , ESPECIALLY WHERE THE TRANSLATIONS ARE VERY DIFFICULT . MOREOVER IN THE CONTEXT IT IS OBVIOUS THAT THE PASSAGE IN QUESTION REVEALS RECOGNITION BY THE REPORTING OFFICERS OF THE EXCEPTIONAL QUALITY OF THE TRANSLATIONS MADE BY THE APPLICANT . AS THE REPORTS COMMITTEE HAS ALREADY OBSERVED IN ITS REPORT OF 15 FEBRUARY 1979 , IT IS THEREFORE NOT POSSIBLE TO CONSIDER THAT THE DESCRIPTION OF THE DUTIES CONTAINED IN THE PERIODIC REPORT CAN ADVERSELY AFFECT THE APPLICANT .
CONDUCT IN THE SERVICE
23 IN THE SECOND PLACE THE APPLICANT COMPLAINS THAT IN THE SCALE OF ASSESSMENT OF ABILITY , EFFICIENCY AND CONDUCT IN THE SERVICE CONTAINING CLASSIFICATIONS ' ' OUTSTANDING ' ' , ' ' VERY GOOD ' ' , ' ' GOOD ' ' , ' ' ACCEPTABLE ' ' AND ' ' HAS SHORTCOMINGS ' ' , HIS RELATIONS WITH HIS SUPERIORS AND COLLEAGUES ARE DESCRIBED AS ' ' ACCEPTABLE ' ' IN CONTRAST TO THE REPORTS ON OTHER OFFICIALS OF THE SAME DIVISION AND ON HIMSELF IN PREVIOUS REPORTS . IN ADDITION NO REASONS ARE GIVEN FOR SUCH ASSESSMENTS .
24 THE COURT CONSIDERS THAT , BY THEIR NATURE , THE STATEMENTS UNDER THIS HEADING , CONSTITUTING , AS THEY DO , A COMPOSITE ASSESSMENT BY THEIR SUPERIOR OFFICERS OF THE ABILITY , EFFICIENCY AND CONDUCT OF OFFICIALS , REQUIRES THAT THEY MUST BE CAPABLE OF BEING GIVEN WITHOUT RESTRICTION EVEN IF THEY EXPRESS MORE OR LESS ADVERSE ASSESSMENTS . IT IS NORMAL FOR ASSESSMENTS UNDER THIS HEADING TO EMPHASIZE DIFFERENCES BETWEEN DIFFERENT OFFICIALS AND WITH REGARD TO THE SAME OFFICIAL AS REGARDS SUCCESSIVE REPORTING PERIODS . THERE IS A PLACE UNDER THE HEADING ' ' GENERAL ASSESSMENT ' ' FOR THE STATEMENT OF ANY REASONS WHERE THE ASSESSMENTS ARE UNUSUAL IN ONE WAY OR ANOTHER . IT MUST BE POINTED OUT THAT THE TWO REPORTING OFFICERS HAVE GIVEN REASONS UNDER THAT HEADING FOR THEIR CRITICAL ASSESSMENT OF THE CONDUCT OF THE APPLICANT WITH REGARD TO HIS SUPERIORS AND COLLEAGUES .
25 THAT COMPLAINT MUST THEREFORE BE REJECTED AS UNFOUNDED .
GENERAL ASSESSMENT
26 THE APPLICANT ' S MAIN COMPLAINT CONCERNS THE ASSESSMENTS ON HIM BY THE FIRST AND SECOND REPORTING OFFICERS REGARDING HIS INTRANSIGENCE IN HIS RELATIONS IN THE DEPARTMENT WHICH IS AT THE ORIGIN OF A NUMBER OF INCIDENTS WITH HIS SUPERIORS AND COLLEAGUES CAUSING
