         Pleas in law and main arguments
   The applicant, who started working at the Commission on 1 May 2000 as a member of the temporary staff and who was posted to the Joint Research Centre, Ispra (Italy), was appointed an official in that centre with effect from 16 April 2004. On 16 April 2005, he was transferred to DG Trade. By letter of 16 June 2006, he was informed that the points which he had accrued as a member of the temporary staff had been cancelled, pursuant to the first contested decision, because he had effected a transfer to a post coming under the ‘administration’ part of the general budget before a period of two years had expired from his recruitment as a probationary official in respect of a post coming under the ‘research’ part of that budget.
   In support of his action, the applicant relies on very similar pleas in law to those relied on in Case F-33/07 (1).
