               —

      Pleas in law and main arguments
   
   In support of the action, the applicant raises a plea of illegality of the competition notice based on two pleas in law.
   
               1.
            
            
               First plea in law, alleging infringement of Article 82(7) of the Conditions of Employment of Other Servants (CEOS), inasmuch as the Commission restricted access to the internal competition organised for grade AST 2 to those members of the contractual staff in Function Group III.
            
         
               2.
            
            
               Second plea in law, alleging infringement of the first paragraph of Article 27 of the Staff Regulations of Officials of the European Union, inasmuch as that condition for admission is not, in any event, justified by the interest of the service or the type of posts to be filled.
