                           Principally, on the basis of the formal irregularity involving the lack of the President’s signature;

                           In the further alternative, on the basis of infringement of the reasonable time principle affecting the exercise of the rights of the defence;
                        
                     
                           —
                        
                        
                           In the further alternative, on the basis of infringement of the principle of acquired right;
                        
                     
         
               —

      Pleas in law and main arguments
   
   In support of the action, the applicant relies on six pleas in law.
   
               1.
            
            
               First plea in law, alleging a formal irregularity in the contested decision of 26 June 2014, since it was not signed by the President of the Parliament in accordance with the internal rules of the European Parliament.
            
         
               2.
            
            
               Second plea in law, alleging infringement of the rights of the defence of the applicant, since the decision of 17 July 1996 which served as the basis for the contested decision of 26 June 2014 was not published, in breach of Article 28 of the Rules of Procedure.
            
         
               3.
            
            
               Third plea in law, alleging infringement of the adversarial principle.
            
         
               4.
            
            
               Fourth plea in law, alleging an insufficient statement of reasons of the contested decision.
            
         
               5.
            
            
               Fifth plea in law, alleging infringement of the reasonable time principle, since the Parliament waited eight years before beginning the recovery proceedings against the applicant.
            
         
               6.
            
            
               Sixth plea in law, alleging infringement of the principle of acquired right, since the contested decision calls into question the pension rights which the applicant acquired on 3 August 1994.
