         Applicants: DS and 718 other applicants (represented by: S. Orlandi and T. Martin, lawyers)
      
         Defendants: European Commission and European External Action Service
      
         Form of order sought
      
      The applicants claim that the Court should:
      
                  —
               
               
                  annul the decisions fixing the applicants’ number of days of paid annual leave for 2019;
               
            
                  —
               
               
                  in any event, order the Commission and the EEAS to pay the costs.
               
            
         Pleas in law and main arguments
      
      In support of the action, the applicants put forward a single plea in law, based on an objection of illegality directed against Article 6 of Annex X to the Staff Regulations of Officials of the European Union on the same grounds as those adopted by the Court in the judgment of 4 December 2018, Carreras Sequeros and Others v Commission, (T-518/16, EU:T:2018:873). According to the applicants, the defendant institutions refused to apply that judgment even though its effects are not suspended, which is akin to an unlawful suspension of operation of a judgment of the Court.
