               Set aside the judgment of the European Union Civil Service Tribunal (Third Chamber) of 9 April 2014 in Case F-59/13 Rouffaud v European External Action Service;
            
         
               —
            
            
               Order the EEAS to pay the costs.
            
         
      Pleas in law and main arguments
   
   In support of the appeal, the appellant relies on three grounds of appeal.
   
               1.
            
            
               First ground of appeal, alleging infringement of the rights of the defence, in so far as the Civil Service Tribunal (CST) failed to draw the attention of the parties to the question of the admissibility of the application until just before the final act of long proceedings, making it impossible for the applicant to prepare adequate arguments.
            
         
               2.
            
            
               Second ground of appeal, alleging an error of law as regards the application of the rule on consistency, in so far as the subject-matter and the cause are perfectly identical as between the claim and the action for annulment.
            
         
               3.
            
            
               Third ground of appeal, alleging a distortion of the evidence and of the facts, in so far as the CST included in its judgment only a limited part of the applicant’s pleadings, which does not reflect the true situation after the closure of the written procedure.
