SELECTED BY THE CANDIDATE AND THAT ALTHOUGH THAT LINK WAS NOT EXPRESSLY MENTIONED IN THE WORDING OF THE NOTICE OF COMPETITION IT NEVERTHELESS FOLLOWS CLEARLY FROM THE AIMS OF THE ADMINISTRATIVE AUTHORITY WHICH ORGANIZED THE COMPETITION , FROM A CAREFUL READING OF THE NOTICE OF COMPETITION AS A WHOLE AND FROM A COMPARISON WITH OTHER NOTICES OF COMPETITION RELATING TO SIMILAR POSTS .
8 THE COURT CANNOT FOLLOW THE DEFENDANT IN THAT VIEW .
9 ACCORDING TO THE STAFF REGULATIONS THE BASIC FUNCTION OF THE NOTICE OF COMPETITION IS PRECISELY TO GIVE THOSE INTERESTED THE MOST ACCURATE INFORMATION POSSIBLE ABOUT THE CONDITIONS OF ELIGIBILITY FOR THE POST TO ENABLE THEM TO JUDGE WHETHER THEY SHOULD APPLY FOR IT .
10 THAT PRINCIPLE DOES NOT , HOWEVER , ABSOLVE THE OFFICIALS WHO ARE INTERESTED FROM A CAREFUL READING OF THE NOTICE OF COMPETITION . ALTHOUGH IN THE PRESENT CASE APPLICANTS WERE ABLE TO DISCOVER FROM A CAREFUL READING OF THE NOTICE THAT THE PRACTICAL EXPERIENCE REQUIRED HAD TO BE IN THE TECHNICAL FIELD WHICH THEY HAD SELECTED THERE WAS , ON THE OTHER HAND , NOTHING IN THE NOTICE TO INDICATE TO THEM THAT THE CONNEXION BETWEEN THE PRACTICAL EXPERIENCE AND THE FIELD SELECTED WAS TO BE INTERPRETED IN SUCH A WAY THAT THE CHOICE OF THE FIELD OF ' ' GRAPHICS ' ' WOULD IMPLY THE REQUIREMENT OF EXPERIENCE IN THE TWO SPECIALITIES WHICH THEY HAD CHOSEN WITHIN THAT FIELD .
11 IT IS EVIDENT FROM THE DOCUMENTS IN THE FILE THAT EACH OF THE APPLICANTS WAS PREPARED TO PERFORM TASKS OF A TECHNICAL NATURE IN THE TWO SPECIALITIES WHICH THEY HAD CHOSEN , THAT THEY HAD PRACTICAL EXPERIENCE WITH THE MEANING OF THE NOTICE OF COMPETITION IN ONE OF THOSE SPECIALITIES AND THAT ONE OF THEM , MR CONSTANT , ALSO HAD SOME EXPERIENCE , ALTHOUGH OF A LIMITED NATURE , IN THE OTHER SPECIALITY HE HAD CHOSEN . THE DEFENDANT HAS CLAIMED THAT A PERIODIC REPORT CONCERNING THAT APPLICANT REFERRED ONLY TO A CERTAIN ' ' KNOWLEDGE ' ' OF THAT SPECIALITY AND NOT TO ANY ' ' EXPERIENCE ' ' BUT IT HAS NEVERTHELESS NOT DISPUTED HIS ARGUMENT THAT THE KNOWLEDGE IN QUESTION HAD BEEN ACQUIRED AS A RESULT OF PRACTICAL WORK .
12 FURTHERMORE , IT MUST BE OBSERVED THAT MR CONSTANT IMMEDIATELY OBJECTED TO THE REFUSAL OF HIS CANDIDATURE AND , AT THE SAME TIME , INDICATED THAT HE WAS PUTTING INFORMATION CONCERNING HIS PRACTICAL EXPERIENCE IN EACH OF THE TWO SPECIALITIES IN QUESTION AT THE DISPOSAL OF THE SELECTION BOARD FOR THE COMPETITION . THE SELECTION BOARD NEVERTHELESS PERSISTED IN ITS REFUSAL ON THE GROUND THAT THE APPLICANT SHOULD HAVE SUBMITTED HIS QUALIFICATIONS IN THAT RESPECT .
13 IT FOLLOWS FROM THE FOREGOING CONSIDERATIONS THAT AS THE NOTICE OF COMPETITION DID NOT STIPULATE THAT THE PRACTICAL EXPERIENCE REQUIRED WAS TO COVER TWO SPECIALITIES IT CANNOT BE INTERPRETED AS NEVERTHELESS REQUIRING THAT CONDITION TO BE FULFILLED .
