               Order the defendant to pay to the applicant an appropriate sum in damages on account of the unlawful conduct described in this action, at a level to be fixed at the discretion of the court but which should amount to at least EUR 2 500;
            
         
               —
            
            
               Order the defendant to pay each month to the applicant a sum in damages from the time of service of this action until complete access is actually provided to all the data and documents which are the subject of this action and to his properly maintained personal and medical file, the sum to be paid each month to be fixed at the discretion of the court but which should amount to at least EUR 200;
            
         
               —
            
            
               Order the defendant to reimburse to the applicant the necessary costs and expenses incurred when inspecting the files on further occasions as required, on the same basis as the defendant’s right to mission expenses, in the alternative to reimburse on the same basis those costs already incurred by the applicant as a result of his travel to Luxembourg on 12 September 2008 and 14 November 2008;
            
         
               —
            
            
               Order the Commission of the European Communities to pay the costs.
