         Action brought on 4 October 2004 by Anke Kröppelin against the Council of the European Union
   (Case T-408/04)
   (2004/C 300/98)
   Language of the Case: French
   An action against the Council of the European Union was brought before the Court of First Instance of the European Communities on 4 October 2004 by Anke Kröppelin, resident in Brussels, represented by Sébastien Orlandi, Albert Coolen, Jean-Noël Louis and Etienne Marchal, lawyers, with an address for service in Luxembourg.
   The applicant claims that the Court should:
   
               —
            
            
               annul the decision of the Council refusing the applicant entitlement to the expatriation allowance and resulting rights, from her entry into service on 1 November 2003;
            
         
               —
            
            
               order the Council to pay the costs.
            
         Pleas in law and main arguments
   Before entering into the Council's service, the applicant worked in the chancellery of the Land Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania in Brussels. In the present action she challenges the decision refusing to grant her the expatriation allowance.
   In support of her action, the applicant pleads breach of Article 4(1)(a) of Annex VII to the Staff Regulations in that the Council did not consider that she was in circumstances arising from work done for another State. The applicant also pleads breach of the principle of equal treatment and of non-discrimination.
