               —
            
            
               annul any decision which may be taken during the proceedings;
            
         
               —
            
            
               order the defendant to pay the compensation for 30 days of annual leave not used up or paid, pursuant to the second paragraph of Article 4 of Annex V to the Staff Regulations of Officials, together with interest at 5.25 % from the date of this action;
            
         
               —
            
            
               order payment of damages for non-material damage and detriment to his career, assessed ex æquo et bono at € 12 500, subject to any increase or reduction during the course of the proceedings;
            
         
               —
            
            
               order the defendant to pay the costs.
            
         Pleas in law and main arguments:
