         Action brought on 11 February 2004 by Marie Tzirani against the Commission of the European Communities
   (Case T-45/04)
   (2004/C 94/137)
   Language of the case: French
   An action against the Commission of the European Communities was brought before the Court of First Instance of the European Communities on 11 February 2004 by Marie Tzirani, residing in Brussels, represented by E. Boigelot, lawyer.
   The applicant claims that the Court should:
   
               —
            
            
               Annul the Commission's decision of 11 February 2003 to reject the applicant's candidature for the A2 post of Director of the ‘Staff Regulations: policy, management and advisory services’ Directorate;
            
         
               —
            
            
               Order the defendant to pay the costs, pursuant to Article 87(2) of the Rules of Procedure of the Court of First Instance.
            
         Pleas in law and main arguments:
   The applicant in this case challenges the Commission's refusal to accept her candidature for the A2 post of Director of the ‘Staff Regulations: policy, management and advisory services’ Directorate.
   In support of her claims, she alleges:
   
               —
            
            
               infringement of Articles 7, 14, 29(1)(a) and 45 of the Staff Regulations and of the rules for nominating officials to grades A1 and A2;
            
         
               —
            
            
               misuse of powers in the present case;
            
         
               —
            
            
               a manifest error of assessment by the Appointing Authority;
            
         
               —
            
            
               failure to observe the principles of legality, entitlement to reasonable career prospects and equal treatment for men and women.
            
         The applicant emphasises in particular the appropriateness of her professional profile for the post in question, as described in the vacancy notice, in contrast to that of the person finally appointed, who can invoke only one experience of working in a cabinet.
