IS UNFOUNDED IN FACT AND ACCORDINGLY IS VITIATED BY ERRORS OF LAW OR OF FACT AND IS THEREFORE ULTRA VIRES .
16FINALLY , IN THE ALTERNATIVE , THE DECISION IS VITIATED BY MISUSE OF POWERS SINCE EVERYTHING POINTS TO THE FACT THAT THE PROCEDURE FOLLOWED BY THE SELECTION BOARD WAS INTENDED TO RESERVE THE POST IN QUESTION FOR A PERSON OF A SPECIFIC NATIONALITY WHOSE PREVIOUS APPOINTMENT TO THAT POST HAD , MOREOVER , BEEN ANNULLED BY THE COURT ON A PREVIOUS OCCASION .
17IN THE CIRCUMSTANCES OF THE PRESENT CASE THESE SUBMISSIONS SHOULD BE CONSIDERED AS A WHOLE .
18THE APPLICANT RELIES ON THE FACT THAT THE CONDITIONS ON THE BASIS OF WHICH HIS APPLICATION WAS REJECTED WERE EXTREMELY DETAILED AND AT ANY RATE MORE DETAILED THAN THOSE SET OUT IN VACANCY NOTICE COM/646/72 FOR THE SAME POST , AND MAINTAINS THAT THOSE CONDITIONS HAD BEEN ' ' MADE TO MEASURE ' ' IN ORDER TO ADMIT ONLY A SINGLE CANDIDATE TO THE COMPETITION , WHO IN FACT WAS DECLARED ELIGIBLE AND SUBSEQUENTLY APPOINTED .
19NEVERTHELESS THE COMMISSION HAS BEEN ABLE TO ESTABLISH , BY PRODUCING A NUMBER OF RECENT VACANCY NOTICES , THAT SOME TIME AGO IT INTRODUCED THE PRACTICE OF SETTING OUT AS CLEARLY AS POSSIBLE THE KIND OF CANDIDATE WHICH IT IS SEEKING .
20IN COMPARISON WITH THE CONDITIONS STATED IN SIMILAR DOCUMENTS THE CONDITIONS OF ELIGIBILITY FOR THE COMPETITION ARE NOT EXCESSIVELY DETAILED .
21SUBSEQUENTLY THE SELECTION BOARD CONSIDERED THAT THE APPLICANT DID NOT FULFIL THE CONDITION : ' ' THOROUGH KNOWLEDGE OF ECONOMIC AND TECHNICAL PROBLEMS IN THE SECTORS INVOLVED , PARTICULARLY THE POTATO MARKET . . . ' ' .
22IN FACT THE DOCUMENTS SUBMITTED BY THE APPLICANT IN SUPPORT OF HIS APPLICATION AND IN ORDER TO OBTAIN ADMISSION TO THE COMPETITION FAILED TO ESTABLISH A THOROUGH KNOWLEDGE IN THE RELEVANT SPHERES .
23SINCE THE ABOVE-MENTIONED FOOTNOTE , TO WHICH REFERENCE WAS MADE IN THE NOTICE OF COMPETITION , PLACED SPECIAL EMPHASIS ON THE NEED TO PRODUCE EVIDENCE OR A STATEMENT FROM CANDIDATES THAT THEY POSSESSED THOROUGH KNOWLEDGE IN THESE SPHERES , THE SELECTION BOARD WAS ENTITLED TO CONSIDER THAT FAILURE TO PROVIDE INFORMATION INDICATED A SERIOUS LACK OF SUCH KNOWLEDGE .
24LIKEWISE THE APPLICANT ' S CAREER DOES NOT SHOW THAT HE POSSESSES ' ' THOROUGH EXPERIENCE RELEVANT TO THE POST ' ' .
25IT MUST IN ANY CASE BE FOUND THAT WITH REGARD TO BOTH CONDITIONS THE DOCUMENTS SUBMITTED WITH THE APPLICATION OF THE CANDIDATE WHO WAS ACCEPTED INDICATE THAT BE WAS MORE SUITABLE .
26ACCORDINGLY , ALTHOUGH THE BACKGROUND TO THE APPLICATION IN QUESTION MAY GIVE RISE TO SOME DOUBTS , CONSIDERATION OF THE CIRCUMSTANCES HAS NOT REVEALED EITHER AN ERROR OF FACT OR OF LAW OR MISUSE OF POWERS .
27IN THAT SITUATION , THE SELECTION BOARD HAS PROVIDED A SUFFICIENT STATEMENT OF REASONS FOR ITS DECISION BY INDICATING THE CONDITIONS OF ELIGIBILITY WHICH IT CONSIDERED WERE NOT MET BY THE APPLICANT ' S APPLICATION .
28THE COMPLAINTS ACCORDINGLY
