         Parties

         Defendant: European Central Bank
      
         Form of order sought
      
      The applicant claims that the Court should:
      
                  —
               
               
                  annul the defendant’s decision of 3 January 2018 concerning the applicant’s classification with effect from 1 January 2018, in so far as it attributes to the applicant only salary step 17 in salary band F/G;
               
            
                  —
               
               
                  annul the defendant’s decision of 25 May 2018 rejecting the applicant’s application to be attributed salary step 83 in salary band F/G with effect from 1 January 2018;
               
            
                  —
               
               
                  order the defendant to pay the costs of the proceedings.
               
            
         Pleas in law and main arguments
      
      The action is based on the following pleas in law:
      
                  1.
               
               
                  Infringement of the principle of equal treatment
                  The first plea in law alleges that the defendant took only limited account of relevant professional experience in the case of internal candidates, in contrast to external candidates, who were in a comparable situation in an identical selection procedure.
               
            
                  2.
               
               
                  Infringement of the principle of the general duty of care
                  The second plea in law alleges that the defendant, without objective justification, treated the applicant, as a member of its own staff, less favourably in the classification than it treated candidates who were not yet employed by it.
