BY THE APPLICANTS MUST EACH BE CONSIDERED ACCORDING TO THEIR PARTICULAR MERITS ; THE COMMISSION CONSIDERS THAT THE REFUSAL IN THE FIRST CASE AND THE REBUKES IN THE SECOND WERE FULLY JUSTIFIED .
37 WITH REGARD TO THE REFUSAL OF THE PROPOSAL TO INVITE A POLISH EXPERT , IT APPEARS FROM THE CONTESTED DECISION ITSELF THAT THE INVITATION TO MAKE A SCIENTIFIC VISIT TO THE CENTRE WAS TO BE AT THE EXPENSE OF THE COMMUNITY . THE AUTHORIZATION OF SUCH A VISIT FALLS WITHIN THE POWERS OF THE HEAD OF THE DEPARTMENT CONCERNED ; THE APPLICANTS CANNOT THEREFORE COMPLAIN THAT THE HEAD OF DIVISION TOOK THE VIEW THAT , IN VIEW OF THE FACT THE SERVICES PROVIDED BY THE EXPERTS ON THE OCCASION OF PREVIOUS VISITS HAD BEEN CONSIDERED DISAPPOINTING , A FURTHER INVITATION DID NOT APPEAR APPROPRIATE .
38 AS REGARDS THE INTERNAL MEMORANDUM OF 6 OCTOBER 1982 , IT APPEARS FROM THAT MEMORANDUM THAT THE HEAD OF DIVISION REBUKED THE APPLICANTS FOR INTERFERING WITH THE PERFORMANCE OF A RESEARCH CONTRACT WITHOUT THE KNOWLEDGE OF THE PERSON PRIMARILY RESPONSIBLE FOR THE CONTRACT , FOR FORWARDING TO A THIRD PARTY A LETTER SENT TO THE CENTRE BY A FRENCH ORGANIZATION AND FOR INTERVENING IMPROPERLY IN ANOTHER CONTRACT . THOSE INCIDENTS LED THE HEAD OF DIVISION MERELY TO REMIND THE APPLICANTS OF THE RULE THAT ' ' IN ITS OUTSIDE CONTACTS THE CENTRE MUST SPEAK WITH A SINGLE VOICE ' ' AND TO DESCRIBE THEIR CONDUCT AS UNACCEPTABLE BECAUSE IT CAUSED ' ' CONFUSION TO OUTSIDE ASSOCIATES AND CHAOS WITHIN THE CENTRE ' ' .
39 SINCE THE PURPOSE OF THAT INTERNAL MEMORANDUM WAS MERELY TO REMINED THE APPLICANTS OF CERTAIN ELEMENTARY PRINCIPLES VALID FOR ANY ADMINISTRATION IN ITS RELATIONS WITH THIRD PARTIES , IT CANNOT BE REGARDED AS AN ACT CAPABLE OF ADVERSELY AFFECTING THE APPLICANTS WITHIN THE MEANING OF ARTICLES 90 AND 91 OF THE STAFF REGULATIONS .
40 IT APPEARS THEREFORE THAT THE COMPLAINTS MADE UNDER THIS HEAD MUST BE DISMISSED ON THE GROUND THAT THEY DO NOT DISCLOSE ANY LEGITIMATE INTEREST .
