         Pleas in law and main arguments
   The applicant, after having been made available to the Greek Ministry of National Education and Religious Affairs for eight months, applied to be able to benefit under the Scheme of Exchanges of officials between the Commission and the Member States in order to complete the tasks she had performed during that period. After having obtained the agreement of a number of Commission departments and the Greek Government, the applicant received a negative decision from her institution, on the grounds that the exchange was contrary to the applicable provisions governing the making available of officials.
   In her action, the applicant considers that the Commission is guilty of misconduct on a number of points, namely:
   
               —
            
            
               failure to demonstrate the diligence required of every administration;
            
         
               —
            
            
               failure to comply with the commitments resulting from the exchange agreement which it itself concluded with the Greek Government, thereby infringing the applicant's legitimate expectations and the general Community interest;
            
         
               —
            
            
               inappropriate remarks about the applicant;
            
         
               —
            
            
               discrimination against the applicant in relation to other officials who were made available to certain national administrations for a longer period.
