         Pleas in law and main arguments
      
      In support of the action, the applicant relies on a single plea in law, alleging that the Commission infringed the principle of non-discrimination and equal treatment related to employment and occupation.
      
                  —
               
               
                  The applicant refers to Article 5 of Directive 2000/78, (1) and to Article 1d of the Staff Regulations of Officials of the European Union, in support of his plea, and argues that the defendant failed to undertake the required individual assessment of the applicant’s needs.
