For så vidt navnlig angår den periode, hvorunder denne sammenligning skulle foretages, fastslog Retten, at for at tage hensyn til alle de muligheder for ansættelsesforholdets ophør, som er fastsat i artikel 47, stk. 2, og artikel 48-50 i ansættelsesvilkårene, kunne denne periode ud fra ret og billighed fastsættes til fem år, indbefattet fristens varighed, at regne

FORSLAG TIL AFGØRELSE FRA GENERALADVOKAT MENGOZZI — SAG C-348/06 P fra det tidspunkt, hvor udnævnelsen af de af Kommissionen valgte ansøgere fandt sted, indtil udløbet af den procedure til besættelse af de ledige stillinger, hvorfra Marie-Claude Girardot ulovligt var blevet udelukket, nemlig tidsrummet mellem den 1. april 2001 og 31. marts 2006 12.
OPINION OF MR MENGOZZI — CASE C-348/06 P following the procedure for filling the vacant posts from which Ms Girardot was unlawfully excluded, that is to say the period from 1 April 2001 to 31 March 2006.
Retten fastsatte ud fra ret og billighed på grundlag af beløb meddelt af Marie-Claude Girardot omfanget af løntabet i denne periode til 185 570 EUR.
12On the basis of the figures provided by Ms Girardot, the Court of First Instance determined the extent of the loss of earnings for that period at a sum, fixed ex aequo et bono, of EUR 185 570.
Retten fastslog herved på grundlag af sagens akter, at Kommissionen efter udløbet af den første del af proceduren ved besættelse af ledige stillinger i vedtægtens artikel 29, stk. 1, ikke med sikkerhed ville have efterkommet en af Marie-Claude Girardots ansøgninger, eftersom Kommissionen kunne foretrække at udstrække sit valg, men at Marie-Claude Girardot havde haft alle muligheder for at få tilbudt en kontrakt som midlertidigt ansat som omhandlet i artikel 2, litra d), i ansættelsesvilkårene og opnå den hermed forbundne økonomiske fordel.
In that connection, and having regard to the documents in the court file, the Court of First Instance points out that it is not possible to take the view that, at the end of the first stage of the procedure for filling vacant posts provided for by Article 29(1) of the Staff Regulations, the Commission, which indeed may prefer to widen its choice, would definitely have accepted one of the applications of Ms Girardot and, consequently, that the latter had every chance of being awarded a contract as a member of the temporary staff within the meaning of Article 2(d) of the Conditions of Employment and of obtaining the financial advantages attaching to its performance.
Retten fastslog dog, at Marie-Claude Girardot i hvert fald havde en betydelig mulighed, som var blevet frataget hende, fordi Kommissionen uden nogen bevist gennemgang havde afslået hendes ansøgninger 16.
The Court of First Instance nonetheless considered that Ms Girardot had been deprived of a genuine opportunity as a result of the rejection of her applications, without proof of examination, by the Commission. 16
For så vidt dernæst angår, i form af en procentsats, den mulighed, som Marie-Claude Girardot havde for at få efterkommet sin ansøgning, undersøgte Retten først, om den ansøgning, hun havde indgivet, opfyldte de nødvendige betingelser for at kunne tages i betragtning henset til det stillingsopslag, hun havde reflekteret på, for at sikre sig, at den mulighed, som den pågældende var blevet frataget, reelt forelå 13. Retten bemærkede herved, at dette i henhold til mellemdommen var tilfældet 14.
Secondly, with regard to the assessment, as a percentage, of Ms Girardot’s chance of having her application accepted, the Court of First Instance first considered whether the applications which she had submitted satisfied the conditions prescribed for being taken into consideration by the vacancy notices to which she had responded, in order to ensure that the opportunity denied to her was to be regarded as genuine.
Retten afvejede herefter de øvrige forhold, der kunne formindske Marie-Claude Girardots chance for at få sin ansøgning efterkommet, og de forhold, der kunne øge denne chance 17, og fastslog herefter, at Marie-Claude Girardot »klart havde haft betydelig mulighed for at få efterkommet sin ansøgning til en eller anden af de stillinger, med hensyn til hvilken hun havde udtrykt sin
By subsequently weighing up additional factors capable of reducing Ms Girardot’s chance of having her application accepted and others capable of increasing that chance, 17the Court of First Instance concluded that Ms Girardot ‘had in the final analysis a genuine chance of acceptance of her application to fill one of the posts in which she had expressed an interest or any
Retten undersøgte endelig, om den mulighed, som Marie-Claude Girardot var blevet frataget, kunne anses for sikker i den forstand, at den pågældende, selv om hun ikke har haft alle chancer for at besætte de pågældende stillinger, dog havde haft en betydelig mulighed for at besætte en af dem 15.
Thirdly, the Court of First Instance examined whether the opportunity denied to Ms Girardot could be regarded as certain, inasmuch as the person concerned would have had, if not every chance of being recruited to one of the posts in question, at least a genuine chance of being recruited to it. 15
Retten anførte vedrørende disse forhold, at den betydelige mulighed angivet i den appellerede doms præmis 115 var formindsket ved det forhold, at en anden ansøger havde udtrykt sin interesse for hver af de otte stillinger i henhold til vedtægtens artikel 29, stk. 1, litra b), hvorfor Kommissionen havde kunnet vælge en eller anden af disse ansøgere eller endog vælge ikke at efterkomme nogen af ansøgningerne og indstille proceduren.
As regards the first factors, the Court of First Instance pointed out that the genuine chance identified in paragraph 115 of the judgment under appeal was reduced by the fact that another candidate had expressed his interest in each of the eight posts, in accordance with Article 29(1)(b) of the Staff Regulations, and that the Commission could therefore have accepted one of those candidates or even accepted none of the applications and ended the procedure.
Retten bemærkede vedrørende den anden gruppe forhold, at såfremt Marie-Claude Girardot havde været berettiget til at deltage i en ny procedure til besættelse af ledige stillinger, som blev afholdt efter annullationen af afslagene på hendes ansøgning, havde hun kunnet udtrykke sin interesse for stillinger af samme art og eventuelt være blevet valgt.
As regards the second factors, the Court of First Instance considered that if Ms Girardot had been entitled to take part in a new procedure for filling vacant posts, organised following the annulment of the decisions rejecting her application, she could reasonably have expressed her interest in posts of the same kind and, possibly, been selected.

For så vidt angår de yderligere materielle og ikke-økonomiske tab, som Marie-Claude Girardot havde påberåbt sig, fastslog Retten i den appellerede doms præmis 123, at formålet med den økonomiske godtgørelse var at tage hensyn til gennemførelsen af mellemdommen og at foretage en rimelig beskyttelse af Marie-Claude Girardots rettigheder ved ud fra ret og billighed at kompensere for muligheden af at genoprette den tidligere situation, der forelå inden den af Kommissionen begåede ulovlighed.
With regard to the compensation for supplementary material damage, nonmaterial damage and physical injury claimed by Ms Girardot, the Court of First Instance considered, in paragraph 123 of the judgment under appeal, that the purpose of the fair financial compensation was to give effect to the interim judgment and to provide adequate protection for Ms Girardot’s rights by compensating ex aequo et bono for the impossibility of restoration of the situation existing prior to the unlawful act committed by the Commission.
Retten fastslog derfor, at da der ikke forelå nogen forudgående erstatningspåstand, kunne formålet med godtgørelsen kun være at erstatte det tab, som nævnte ulovlighed havde kunnet forvolde den pågældende, og følgelig, at de argumenter vedrørende det øvrige tab, som Marie-Claude Girardot havde fremført, var irrelevante 20.
The Court of First Instance therefore took the view that, in the absence of a prior claim for damages, the purpose of the compensation could not have been to make good any other damage which that unlawful act might have caused the person concerned and that, accordingly, the arguments concerning other damage alleged by Ms Girardot were irrelevant.
Retten fastslog, at under alle omstændigheder kunne ingen af de øvrige tab tages i betragtning ved fastsættelsen af den økonomiske godtgørelse 21. For så vidt angår navnlig den ikke-økonomiske skade, som bestod i Marie-Claude Girar-

— declare the appeal brought by the Commission inadmissible and, in any event, unfounded; loss of an opportunity to be recruited by the Commission where the latter has adopted an unlawful decision, thus depriving the person concerned of having her application accepted.
Kommissionen har såvel i sine skriftlige indlæg som under retsmødet tilføjet, at formålet med dens appel er, at Domstolen fastsætter en ensartet retlig begrundelse og metode til beregning af en fortabt mulighed for at opnå en stilling.
It added, both in its pleadings and at the hearing, that the aim of its appeal is that the Court should identify a consistent legal argument and method for the purpose of calculating the loss of an opportunity to obtain a post.
— Kontraappellen fremmes til realitetsbehandling, og der gives medhold i annullations og erstatningspåstanden.
— declare her cross-appeal admissible and uphold the submitted claims for annulment and damages;
Kommissionen anfører, at den ikke søger at hævde, at ulovligheden af de afgørelser, hvorved den har afslået de forskellige ansøgninger fra Marie-Claude Girardot, ikke kan indebære et erstatningsberettiget tab.
The Commission states that it is not seeking to argue that the unlawfulness of the decisions by which it rejected Ms Girardot’s various applications has not caused damage for which compensation can be paid.
Kommissionen erkender faktisk, at fortabt mulighed for at opnå en stilling udgør en materiel skade.
Indeed, it states that it accepts the idea that the loss of an opportunity to fill a post constitutes material damage.
Kommissionen har derimod understreget, at den faktiske og sikre skade, som den pågældende har lidt, er den, der beror på den manglende gennemgang af hendes ansøgninger, men ikke den, der beror på et teoretisk løntab i en lige så teoretisk bestemt periode.
However, the Commission points out that the actual and certain damage suffered by the person concerned is that resulting from the failure to examine her applications, and not that resulting from a hypothetical loss of earnings during a period determined in an equally hypothetical manner.
KOMMISSIONEN MOD GIRARDOT hvorefter man for at vurdere omfanget af skaden på grund af tabet af den fortabte mulighed må fastsætte forskellen mellem den løn, som Marie-Claude Girardot ville have oppebåret, såfremt hendes ansøgning reelt var blevet efterkommet, og den løn, som hun reelt oppebar, efter de ulovlige afslag på hendes ansøgning, indebærer en kvantificering af et materielt tab, som ikke er udtryk for en fortabt mulighed for ansættelse, men fordrejer begrebet fortabt mulighed til fortabt sikkerhed i at opnå en stilling.
COMMISSION v GIRARDOT judgement under appeal, that in order to assess the extent of the damage arising from the loss of an opportunity it is appropriate to determine the difference between the earnings which Ms Girardot would have received in the event that the opportunity of having her application accepted had materialised and that which she actually received following the unlawful rejection of her application amounts to quantifying mater- ial damage which is no longer that of loss of an opportunity to be recruited and wrongly interprets the notion of loss of an opportunity as that of loss of a guarantee of obtaining a post.
Efter Kommissionens opfattelse er det ubestrideligt, at den ved ansættelse råder over et vidt skøn.
The Commission takes the view that it cannot be disputed that it is accorded a wide margin of discretion in matters of recruitment.
givet fald« kan vurderes i form af en procentsats for den sandsynlighed, som den pågældende havde for reelt at opnå ansættelse.
in paragraph 58 of the judgment under appeal, that the amount of material damage, quantified by calculating the difference in earnings received, could, ‘if appropriate’, be assessed as a percentage representing the chance which the person concerned had of being recruited.
Denne forudsætning for begrundelsen i den appellerede dom viser efter Kommissionens opfattelse, at Retten søgte at kvantificere det lidte tab ud fra et teoretisk løntab, eftersom den omstændighed, at den pågældende alene havde fortabt en mulighed for ansættelse, ikke (»i givet fald«) automatisk indtraf.
The Commission takes the view that that premiss in the reasoning put forward in the judgment under appeal shows that the Court of First Instance is seeking to quantify the damage resulting from a hypothetical loss of earnings, since it is not automatically the case (‘if appropriate’) that the person concerned lost only an opportunity of being recruited.
Retten har desuden anlagt vilkårlige formodninger for at kvantificere sandsynlighedsgraden af den pågældendes ansættelse.
Thirdly, the Court of First Instance quantified the likelihood of being recruited of the person concerned on the basis of uncertain conjectures.
Som det fremgår af mellemdommens præmis 57, havde den pågældende ingen ret til at blive ansat.
However, as stated in paragraph 57 of the interim judgment, the person concerned had no right to be recruited.
Retten har ved først at beregne den materielle skade, som om den pågældende havde en sådan ret, i den appellerede dom modsagt mellemdommen.
Nevertheless, by first calculating the material damage as if the person concerned enjoyed such a right, the judgment under appeal is inconsistent with the interim judgment.
Kommissionen har anført, at en sådan retlig fejl for det første støttes på den omstændighed, at Retten ved beregningen af løntabet tager hensyn til den løn, som den pågældende i mellemtiden oppebærer.
The Commission takes the view that the existence of such an error of law is confirmed, first, by the fact that, in order to calculate the loss of earnings, the Court of First Instance takes into consideration the earnings received in the intervening period by the person concerned.
Hvis den pågældende nemlig i dette tidsrum havde besat en stilling, som var bedre lønnet end den, som hun havde kunnet opnå ved Kommissionen i det samme tidsrum, ville der ikke foreligge noget løntab, skønt den pågældende utvivlsomt havde fortabt en mulighed.
However, in the event that the person concerned had, during that intervening period, taken up a post that was better paid than that which she could have obtained at the Commission during the same period, no loss of earnings would be suffered, although the person concerned would, nonetheless, have indeed suffered a loss of opportunity.
Den beregningsmetode, som Retten har anvendt, er derfor ulogisk og kan medføre forskelsbehandling.
The method of calculation used by the Court of First Instance is therefore illogical and liable to cause discrimination.
Kommissionen har for det andet anført, at den retlige fejl, den har præciseret, også støttes af vurderingen, som ligeledes fremgår af den appellerede doms præmis 58, hvorefter størrelsen af den materielle skade, som fremstår efter beregningen af forskellen mellem den oppebårne løn, »i
Secondly, the Commission argues that the existence of the error of law which it identifies is also confirmed by the assessment, again contained
Kommissionen har anført, at det i henhold til det anførte må fastslås, at beregningen af tabet for en fortabt mulighed for ansættelse nødvendigvis må foretages på et andet grundlag end det, som Retten har anvendt, og under ingen omstændigheder kan foretages i forhold til et løntab, som forudsætter (en teoretisk og usikker) vished om at blive ansat.
According to the Commission, all those considerations must lead to the conclusion that the calculation of the damage resulting from the loss of opportunity to be recruited must be founded on a basis other than that used by the Court of First Instance and cannot in any event be applied to a loss of earnings, which presupposes the existence of a guarantee (hypothetical and not certain) of being recruited.
Kommissionen har under retsmødet tilføjet, at skaden som følge af en retsstridig adfærd bestående i ikke at have foretaget en gennemgang af en ansøgning ikke kan være et løntab.
At the hearing, the Commission added that the damage resulting from the unlawful act of failing to examine an application cannot be a loss of earnings.
FORSLAG TIL AFGØRELSE FRA GENERALADVOKAT MENGOZZI — SAG C-348/06 P en principafgørelse vedrørende den metode, der skal anvendes ved beregningen af godtgørelse for materiel skade som følge af en fortabt mulighed.
Commission is not justified in criticising the assessment of the Court of First Instance or, a fortiori, in expecting the Court of Justice to deliver a decision of principle on the method which must be used to calculate compensation for the material damage resulting from the loss of an opportunity.
Der kan i øvrigt herved foreligge en række forskellige situationer, som kun kan behandles konkret.
Moreover, she submits that there exists, in that regard, a large number of different situations which can be dealt with only on a case-by-case basis.
Marie-Claude Girardot har for det andet anført, at anbringendet om, at Retten godtgør tab af en sikkerhed og ikke en mulighed, må afvises, eftersom anbringendet ikke er blevet fremsat i første instans ved Retten.
Secondly, Ms Girardot claims that the plea alleging that the Court of First Instance is making good the loss of a guarantee and not the loss of an opportunity is inadmissible since that plea was not raised at first instance before the Court of First Instance.
Kommissionen har endelig i henhold til artikel 61, stk. 1, andet punktum, i Domstolens statut opfordret Domstolen til at fastslå, at det tab, som Marie-Claude Girardot har lidt på grund af Kommissionens ansvarspådragende adfærd, beroende på, at den ikke havde gennemgået Marie-Claude Girardots ansøgning til en af de pågældende stillinger, hvilket har medført en fortabt mulighed for ansættelse, kan opvejes på tilfredsstillende vis ved tildeling af et beløb, som svarer til tre måneders nettoløn, og som svarer til det beløb, som Kommissionen skulle betale i perioden fra den opsigelsesfrist, der gælder for en kontrakt af en bestemt varighed, eller i denne sag 18 917,43 EUR, forhøjet med et beløb på 5 000 EUR som erstatning for det forhold, at den pågældende ikke vil kunne deltage i en efterfølgende ansættelsesprocedure.
Consequently, the Commission asks the Court, in accordance with the second sentence of the first paragraph of Article 61 of the Statute of the Court of Justice, to declare that the damage suffered by Ms Girardot on account of the Commission’s wrongful act of failing to examine her application for one of the posts in question, and which entailed the loss of an opportunity of being recruited, may be fairly compensated for by the award of a lump sum equal to three months’ net pay and corresponding to the sum which the Commission must pay during the period of notice of a contract for an indefinite period — that is, in the present case, EUR 18 917.43 — increased by the sum, also fixed, of EUR 5 000 as compensation for the fact that the person concerned may no longer take part in a subsequent recruitment procedure.
Marie-Claude Girardot har påstået appellen afvist eller under alle omstændigheder forkastet.
Ms Girardot proposes that the Court should dismiss the main appeal as inadmissible or, in any event, as unfounded.
Hun har vedrørende formaliteten først anført, at i henhold til retspraksis er Retten alene kompetent til at foretage en vurdering af den skade, der følger af en fortabt mulighed.
On the substance of the case, and as a preliminary point, Ms Girardot points out that, although the way in which the Court of First Instance assessed the extent of the damage in the judgment under appeal is not consistent with the way in which it has acted in other cases, this was because the situations were not similar.
Marie-Claude Girardot har for det første vedrørende skadens reelle og sikre karakter fastslået, at Retten for så vidt angår skade som følge af fortabt mulighed har fastslået, at betingelsen om, at der foreligger en lidt skade, er opfyldt, når sagsøgeren godtgør, at det er institutionens retsstridige adfærd, der har berøvet vedkommende nævnte mulighed (Rettens dom af 21.3.1996, sag
With regard, first of all, to the actual and certain nature of the damage, Ms Girardot points out that, as regards the damage resulting from the loss of an opportunity, the Court of First Instance has ruled that the requirement as to actual damage is satisfied where an applicant establishes that it is the institution’s allegedly unlawful act which
