      Pleas in law and main arguments
   
   By this appeal, the Commission seeks annulment of the judgment of the Civil Service Tribunal of 29 January 2009 in Case F-98/07 Petrilli v Commission by which the Tribunal annulled the Commission decision of 20 July 2007 dismissing Ms Petrilli’s request for her contract as a member of the contract staff for auxiliary tasks to be extended.
   In support of its appeal, the Commission puts forward three grounds of appeal alleging that:
   
               —
            
            
               the Tribunal should, according to the Commission, have declared the action inadmissible in view of the fact that the annulled decision contained no real and detailed examination of the applicant’s personal situation;
            
         
               —
            
            
               the Tribunal erred in law in holding that the six year rule contained in Decision C(2004) 1597/6 of 28 April 2004 on the maximum duration for the recourse to non-permanent staff in the Commission services (1) infringes Article 88 of the Conditions of Employment of Other Servants of the Communities;
            
         
               —
            
            
               the Tribunal erred in law in holding that the unlawfulness of the six year rule alone sufficed for the Commission to incur non-contractual liability without checking in addition whether the Commission had manifestly and gravely infringed its wide discretion to assess the interest of the service in not renewing of Ms Petrilli’s contract.
