         Pleas in law and main arguments
   The applicant is a successful candidate of the internal competition COM/PC/04, published before the new Staff Regulations entered into force. She was appointed an official thereunder and classified in grade C*1, that is, the same grade in which she had been classified during her last temporary agent contract. Although previously she had enjoyed a more advantageous classification, she had been downgraded to grade C*1 prior to her appointment as an official.
   In support of her action, the applicant alleges breach of Articles 31 and 62 of the Staff Regulations and Articles 5 and 2 of Annex XIII to the Staff Regulations.
   The applicant also alleges violation of the principle of protection of legitimate expectations and the principle of protection of acquired rights.
