         Parties
      
      
         Appellant: Sebastian Veit (represented by: K. Kujath, Rechtsanwalt)
      
         Other party to the proceedings: European Central Bank
      
         Form of order sought
      
      The appellant claims that the Court should:
      
                  —
               
               
                  set aside the judgment of the General Court (Tenth Chamber) of 2 April 2020 in Case T-474/18;
               
            
                  —
               
               
                  annul the decision of the European Central Bank of 3 January 2018 on the classification of the appellant with effect from 1 January 2018, as clarified by the decision of the European Central Bank of 25 May 2018;
               
            
                  —
               
               
                  order the European Central Bank to pay the costs of the proceedings.
               
            
         Grounds of appeal and main arguments
      
      The judgment under appeal infringes EU law. The General Court misinterpreted the general principle of equal treatment under Articles 20, 51(1) and 52(1) of the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union.
      The General Court erred in deciding that the difference in treatment of internal and external candidates for recruitment with regard to their classification in step by the European Central Bank on the basis of various rules was justified and proportionate.
      The case-law of the Court of Justice on the interpretation of the provisions of the Staff Regulations on the classification in step of an official in service, which was applied mutatis mutandis to the case by the General Court, does not correspond with the facts that have given rise to the dispute.
