5 ( 1 ) OF THE STAFF REGULATIONS WITHOUT SPECIFYING THE CERTIFICATES AND OTHER QUALIFICATIONS OR THE LEVEL OF EXPERIENCE REQUIRED FOR THE POSTS TO BE FILLED .
12 IN THE LIGHT OF THE GREAT NUMBER OF SECONDARY EDUCATION CERTIFICATES IN THE MEMBER STATES AND THE WIDE AND VARIED CONTENT OF THE PHRASE " EQUIVALENT EXPERIENCE IN EMPLOYMENT ", EVEN A MORE EXPLICIT AND DETAILED REQUIREMENT MAY, IN CERTAIN CASES, BE INCOMPLETE AND, FOR THAT REASON, ARBITRARY .
13 THIS MAY, IN PARTICULAR, BE THE CASE WHERE, AS IN THIS INSTANCE, THE NOTICE OF COMPETITION IS ADDRESSED TO A GROUP OF INDIVIDUALS OF DIFFERING ORIGIN AND EDUCATION .
14 THEREFORE, THE ONLY ALTERNATIVE IS TO EMPLOY A GENERAL FORMULA SUCH AS THAT CONTAINED IN THE THIRD SUBPARAGRAPH OF ARTICLE 5 ( 1 ) OF THE STAFF REGULATIONS AND TO LEAVE THE SELECTION BOARD FOR THE COMPETITION TO ASSESS IN EACH CASE WHETHER THE CERTIFICATES PRODUCED OR THE EXPERIENCE OF EACH CANDIDATE CORRESPOND TO THE LEVEL REQUIRED BY THE STAFF REGULATIONS AND, THEREFORE, BY THE NOTICE OF COMPETITION .
15 THE ADOPTION OF THIS SOLUTION IMPLIES, HOWEVER, THAT THE SELECTION BOARD SHALL BE BOUND TO GIVE REASONS FOR ITS DECISIONS ON THIS POINT, IF ONLY IN SUMMARY FORM .
16 THEREFORE, IN SO FAR AS IT REFERS TO THE NOTICE OF VACANCY, THE APPLICATION MUST BE DISMISSED .
THE DECISION OF THE SELECTION BOARD NOT TO CONSIDER THE APPLICANT' S CANDIDATURE
17 IT IS CLEAR BOTH FROM THE COMMUNICATIONS FROM THE RELEVANT DEPARTMENTS OF THE COMMISSION AND FROM THE REPORT OF THE SELECTION BOARD THAT THE LATTER REJECTED THE APPLICANT' S CANDIDATURE ON THE GROUNDS THAT IT DID NOT MEET THE FIRST OF THE QUALIFICATIONS REQUIRED BY THE NOTICE OF COMPETITION, THAT IS, AN ADVANCED LEVEL OF SECONDARY EDUCATION, EVIDENCED BY A CERTIFICATE OR EQUIVALENT EXPERIENCE IN EMPLOYMENT .
18 THE APPLICANT CLAIMS THAT NO REASONS WERE GIVEN FOR THIS DECISION, THAT IT CONFLICTED WITH THE ESTABLISHED FACTS AND CONSTITUTED A MISUSE OF POWERS .
19 AS REGARDS THE ABSENCE OF REASONS FOR THE DECISION, THE PROCEEDINGS OF A SELECTION BOARD INVOLVE AT LEAST TWO DISTINCT STAGES, THAT IS, FIRST CONSIDERATION OF THE APPLICATIONS, IN ORDER TO SORT OUT THE CANDIDATES ALLOWED TO ENTER THE COMPETITION AND, SECONDLY, CONSIDERATION OF THE ABILITIES OF THE CANDIDATES FOR THE POST, IN ORDER TO DRAW UP A LIST OF THOSE SUITABLE .
20 IF THE SECOND STAGE ABOVE ALL CONSISTS OF MAKING COMPARISONS AND IS, THEREFORE, GOVERNED BY THE PRINCIPLE OF SECRECY INHERENT IN THE PROCEEDINGS OF A SELECTION BOARD, THE FIRST CONSISTS, IN PARTICULAR IN A COMPETITION ON THE BASIS OF QUALIFICATIONS, OF A COMPARISON OF THE QUALIFICATIONS PRODUCED BY THE CANDIDATES WITH THOSE REQUIRED BY THE NOTICE OF COMPETITION .
21 AS THIS COMPARISON IS CARRIED OUT ON THE BASIS OF INFORMATION WHICH IS OBJECTIVE AND, MOREOVER, KNOWN TO EACH OF THE CANDIDATES IN SO FAR AS IT CONCERNS HIS CASE, SUFFICIENT REASONS MUST BE GIVEN FOR THE RESULTS ARRIVED AT .
