         Form of order sought
      
      The applicant claims that the Court should:
      
                  —
               
               
                  annul the decision of 9 March 2020 and the decision upon review of 19 August 2020 of the European Personnel Selection Office (EPSO) Selection Board in respect of competition EPSO/AD/371/19 (AD 7) — 6 — Scientific Research Administrators not to include the applicant’s name on the reserve list;
               
            
                  —
               
               
                  in so far as necessary, annul the decision of 15 March 2021 rejecting the complaint;
               
            
                  —
               
               
                  request that the applicant’s competition tests and test results, and the results of the next stage, be produced in order to enable a substantive assessment of the results correlating to each irregularity and the significance of the consequences of the stress induced by the irregularities found, pursuant to Article 91 of the Rules of Procedure of the General Court;
               
            
                  —
               
               
                  order the defendant to pay the costs.
               
            
         Pleas in law and main arguments
      
      In support of the action, the applicant relies on a single plea in law, alleging unequal treatment caused by the irregularities that occurred during the tests and influenced the competition results. This plea is divided into four parts.
      
                  1.
               
               
                  First part, alleging that technical errors occurred in the organisation of the tests for competition EPSO/AD/371/19 (AD 7) — 6 — Scientific Research Administrators, which were acknowledged by the administration and caused the applicant increased stress during the tests.
               
            
                  2.
               
               
                  Second part, alleging that the administration failed to exercise due care and to take action to correct those errors.
               
            
                  3.
               
               
                  Third part, alleging a failure to take account of the errors when assessing the applicant’s performance and the failure to put in place procedures guaranteeing equality between candidates.
               
            
                  4.
               
               
                  Fourth part, alleging a manifest error of assessment of the applicant’s performance.
