         Action brought on 6 December 2004 by Mr Georgios Karatzoglou against the European Agency for Reconstruction
   (Case T-471/04)
   (2005/C 57/48)
   Language of the case: English
   An action against the European Agency for Reconstruction was brought before the Court of First Instance of the European Communities on 6 December 2004 by Mr Georgios Karatzoglou, Ioannina, Greece, represented by S. A. Pappas, lawyer.
   The applicant claims that the Court should:
   
               —
            
            
               cancel the implicit rejection of the complaint of the applicant and, subsequently, the termination of his contract;
            
         
               —
            
            
               order the Agency to pay the costs of the proceedings.
            
         Pleas in law and main arguments
   The applicant was recruited as a temporary agent by the defendant, in accordance with Article 2(a) of the Conditions of employment of other servants of the European Communities. On 7 May 2003, his contract was renewed for an indefinite period. The applicant contests the subsequent termination of his contract in application of Article 47(2) of the Conditions of employment.
   In support of his application, the applicant submits a lack of reasoning of the termination of the contract. According to the applicant, the defendant had bound itself not to terminate the contract unless there would be a need for a reduction or winding-up of its operations. The applicant claims that this is not the case and is not even invoked. The applicant furthermore submits a breach of his legitimate expectations, an infringement of Article 47 of the Conditions of employment and a misuse of powers. Finally, the applicant submits a violation of the principle of good administration since, according to the applicant, the supposed need to reduce the staff was caused by unreasonable management.
