         Pleas in law and main arguments
   The applicant, a former temporary agent at the Commission, was employed from 16 September 2004 until 15 September 2009 under a contract which provided for a probationary period of 6 months, in accordance with Article 14 of the Conditions of Employment of Other Servants. Following an initial negative evaluation report, an extension of the probationary period by six months and a second negative evaluation report, the defendant ended that contract.
   In his application, the applicant submits that the defendant made manifest errors of assessment. It is likewise alleged to have infringed the general principles which safeguard the right to dignity and to a defence and to have made superfluous critical comments.
