CONTRAVENES THOSE PROVISIONS , IN PARTICULAR BY REASON OF THE FACT THAT IT IS BASED ON THE SUPPOSITION THAT HIS PLACE OF RESIDENCE BEFORE HE ENTERED THE SERVICE OF THE EUROPEAN COAL AND STEEL COMMUNITY WAS BRUSSELS , WHEREAS IT IS SAID TO APPEAR CLEARLY FROM HIS PERSONAL FILE THAT AS FROM THE TIME WHEN HE ENTERED THAT SERVICE HE GAVE AS HIS ' ' PLACE OF ORIGIN ' ' THE MUNICIPALITY OF WEVELGEM , WHICH IS MORE THAN 25 KILOMETRES FROM HIS PLACE OF EMPLOYMENT AND THE PLACE WHERE HE NOW RESIDES .
25SOME DAYS BEFORE HIS RECRUITMENT BY THE HIGH AUTHORITY HE HAD AGAIN ESTABLISHED HIS BELGIAN RESIDENCE AT WEVELGEM , THE PLACE OF RESIDENCE OF HIS PARENTS , AND INFORMED THE APPROPRIATE DEPARTMENT OF THE HIGH AUTHORITY THAT THAT MUNICIPALITY SHOULD BE REGARDED AS HIS PLACE OF ORIGIN .

31IN THE RULES IN FORCE AT THE TIME , AS IN THE PRESENT REGULATIONS , ' ' PLACE OF ORIGIN ' ' IS A TERM OF ART HAVING A FUNCTION DIFFERENT TO THAT OF THE CONCEPT EMPLOYED IN ARTICLE 47 OF THE STAFF REGULATIONS OF OFFICIALS OF THE EUROPEAN COAL AND STEEL COMMUNITY AND ARTICLE 9 OF THE GENERAL REGULATIONS ; IT INDICATES THE PLACE WHICH IS RELEVANT FOR DETERMINING THE ANNUAL OR BIANNUAL EXPENSES OF TRAVEL FROM THE PLACE WHERE THE OFFICIAL IS EMPLOYED TO HIS PLACE OF ORIGIN , A MATTER WHICH IS AT PRESENT GOVERNED BY ARTICLES 7 AND 8 OF ANNEX VII TO THE STAFF REGULATIONS .
32ARTICLE 7 ( 3 ) PROVIDES : ' ' AN OFFICIAL ' S PLACE OF ORIGIN SHALL BE DETERMINED WHEN HE TAKES UP HIS APPOINTMENT , ACCOUNT BEING TAKEN OF WHERE HE WAS RECRUITED OR THE CENTRE OF
