   (2004/C 106/159)
   Language of the case: French
   An action against the Commission of the European Communities was brought before the Court of First Instance of the European Communities on 8 March 2004 by Luciano Lavagnoli, residing in Berchem (Luxembourg), represented by Gilles Bounéou and Frédéric Frabetti, lawyers.
   The applicant claims that the Court should:
   
               —
            
            
               annul the 1999—2001 promotions procedure so far as concerns the applicant;
            
         
               —
            
            
               in the alternative, annul the applicant's staff report in respect of the period 1 July 1999 to 30 June 2001 and, as a preliminary matter, the preparatory acts preceding that report;
            
         
               —
            
            
               make an appropriate finding as to the costs, expenditure and fees incurred and order the Commission to pay them.
            
         Pleas in law and main arguments
   The applicant is challenging the decision of the appointing authority establishing his staff report for the period 1999—2001.

               —
            
            
               disregard of the principle prohibiting arbitrary action and requiring reasons to be provided for decisions, and misuse of powers;
            
         
               —
            
            
               breach of the principle that legitimate expectations are to be protected;
            
         
               —
