         Pleas in law and main arguments
   The applicant, formerly head of the ‘Resources’ Unit of the PMO, challenges the contested decision of 8 December 2005, which has the effect of reassigning him to a research position. He claims infringement of Article 7 of the Staff Regulations in that the reassignment decision in question is contrary to the interests of the service and does not respect the principle of assignment to an equivalent post. The applicant invokes in the second place infringement of the statutory provisions concerning disciplinary sanctions. Third, he alleges misuse of powers.
