Den har herved angivet, at den måtte »fastsætte forskellen mellem den løn, som Marie-Claude Girardot havde opnået, såfremt hendes ansøgning var blevet efterkommet, og den løn, som hun faktisk oppebar efter det ulovlige afslag på hendes ansøgning, og dernæst »eventuelt« i form af en procentsats vurdere den mulighed, som Marie-Claude Girardot havde, for at nævnte situation konkretiseredes« 50.
To that end, it therefore stated that it was appropriate ‘to determine the difference between the earnings which Ms Girardot would have received in the event that her opportunity of having her application accepted had materialised and those which she actually received following the unlawful rejection of her application, and then, if appropriate, to assess, as a percentage, the chance that Ms Girardot had of that eventuality materialising’. 50
Retten har ved at have angivet, at den »eventuelt« ville anvende den anden del af begrundelsen, tilsyneladende lagt til grund, at denne del alene er fakultativ, mens denne del retligt i tilfælde af tab af fortabt mulighed for ansættelse er obligatorisk.
However, by introducing the second stage of the reasoning it was to adopt with the words ‘if appropriate’, the Court of First Instance seems to take the view that that stage is merely optional, whereas, legally, in the case of the loss of an opportunity to be recruited, such a stage is mandatory.
Den af Retten begåede fejl medfører dog efter min mening ikke ophævelse af den appellerede dom.
However, I take the view that the error of law on the part of the Court of First Instance cannot result in the annulment of the judgment under appeal.
Det står nemlig fast, at Retten i den appellerede doms præmis 96-122 korrekt konkret har vurderet den i øvrigt betydelige mulighed, som Marie-Claude Girardot havde for at opnå de stillinger, til hvilke hun havde indgivet ansøgninger, hvorfor det ikke, som Kommissionen med urette har påstået, kan hævdes, at det materielle tab, som er fastslået i den appellerede dom, udelukkende svarer til forskellen mellem den løn, som Marie-Claude Girardot ville have opnået, såfremt en af hendes ansøgninger af blevet efterkommet af Kommissionen, og den løn, som hun faktisk har oppebåret.
Indeed, it is common ground that, in paragraphs 96 to 122 of the latter, the Court of First Instance actually assessed in concreto the chance — described, incidentally, as genuine — that Ms Girardot had of filling the posts for which she had submitted her application, with the result that it is not possible to take the view, as the Commission wrongly claims, that the material damage found to exist in the judgment under appeal is equal only to the difference between the earnings which Ms Girardot would have received if one of her applications had been accepted by the Commission and those which she actually received.
Det må nemlig fastslås, at den fortabte mulighed i sig selv udgør en skade, hvilket Kommissionen i øvrigt også har erkendt.
Indeed, it should be borne in mind that the loss of an opportunity constitutes damage in itself, as the Commission also acknowledges.
For så vidt angår en fortabt mulighed for ansættelse er det ikke de forventede beløb, som udgør skaden, men forventningen om at oppebære dem.
With regard to the loss of an opportunity of being recruited, it is not the anticipated amounts which constitute the damage, but the expectation of earning them.
Ved tilkendelse af erstatning skal Fællesskabets retsinstanser tage hensyn til graden af nævnte forventning, der som fastslået af retspraksis skal være betydelig.
When awarding damages, a court must take into account the level of the expectation, which must, as required by the case-law, be real. The chance has to have been a genuine
På dette punkt kan den af Kommissionen fremførte kritik vedrørende det forhold, at der i den appellerede dom tages hensyn til løntabet, som kriterium for vurderingen af fortabt mulighed for ansættelse, heller ikke tages til følge.
In that regard, the Commission’s criticisms concerning the taking into account, in the judgment under appeal, of the loss of earnings as a criterion for assessing the loss of an opportunity to be recruited are also untenable.
50 — Mine fremhævelser.
50 — Emphasis added.
KOMMISSIONEN MOD GIRARDOT alene foretaget en anvendelse af kriterierne for Fællesskabets pådragelse af ansvar uden for kontraktforhold inden for de særlige rammer for anvendelsen af fortabt mulighed for ansættelse.
First Instance merely applied the criteria governing the noncontractual liability of the Community, in the specific context of the loss of an opportunity to be recruited.
Det er korrekt, som Kommissionen har anført, at Marie-Claude Girardot ikke havde en ret til at blive ansat. Dette udsagn dementeres ikke i den appellerede dom.
It is true, as the Commission states, that Ms Girardot had no right to be recruited.
Retten har endog bekræftet dette i den appellerede doms præmis 72, hvilket følgelig udelukker en modsigelse mellem den appellerede dom og mellemdommens præmis 57, modsat det af Kommissionen anførte.
The Court of First Instance even expressly confirmed it in paragraph 72 of the judgment under appeal, which, therefore, excludes the existence of any contradiction between the judgment under appeal and paragraph 57 of the interim judgment, contrary to the claims of the Commission.
Jeg skal endvidere bemærke, at den alternative metode, som Kommissionen har foreslået, også hviler på kriteriet om løn i den forstand, at Kommissionen foreslår at erstatte Marie-Claude Girardot ved at tildele hende en godtgørelse, hvis størrelse fastsættes til den tre måneders nettoløn, som udbetales i henhold til den minimale opsigelsesfrist i artikel 47, stk. 2, litra a), i ansættelsesvilkårene.
Moreover, it is interesting to note that the alternative method proposed by the Commission is also based on the criterion of earnings, in that it proposes to compensate Ms Girardot by awarding financial compensation the amount of which would be set at three months’ net earnings paid in respect of the minimum notice period provided for by Article 47(2)(a) of the Conditions of Employment.
Den omstændighed, at der ikke foreligger en ret til at blive ansat, indebærer imidlertid ikke, at kriteriet om løn ikke kan tages i betragtning ved vurderingen af det materielle tab af muligheden for ansættelse, eftersom denne vurdering også tager hensyn til den grad af sandsynlighed for, at en sådan ansættelse blev konkretiseret, og foretages på grundlag af parternes påstande, således som Retten har gjort i den appellerede dom.
Nevertheless, the absence of a right to be recruited does not mean that the criterion of earnings cannot be taken into consideration in assessing the material damage arising from the loss of an opportunity to be recruited, provided that that assessment also takes into account the likelihood of being recruited and that it is carried out in the light of the parties’ claims, as the Court of First Instance did in the judgment under appeal.
Selv om det antages, at en sådan godtgørelse — som beror på en antagelse om, at Kommissionen var berettiget til ensidigt at opsige Marie-Claude Girardots ansættelse uden begrundelse og straks efter hendes tiltrædelse 51, er mulig, forholder det sig dog
However, even if such a method of compensation — which is based on the assumption that the Commission would have been entitled unilaterally to terminate the employment of Ms Girardot without reason and immediately after it had taken effect — 51, were possible, the fact remains
51 — I dom af 18.10.1977, sag 25/68, Schertzer mod Parlamentet, Sml. s. 1729, præmis 38-40, og af 19.6.1992, sag C-18/91 P, V. mod Parlamentet, Sml. I, s. 3997, præmis 39, har Domstolen for så vidt angår ensidig opsigelse af en midlertidig ansats kontrakt fastslået, at en sådan opsigelse, som er udtrykkeligt fastsat i artikel 47, stk. 2, i ansættelsesvilkårene, henhører under ansættelsesmyndighedens vide skønsbeføjelse og er begrundet i kontrakten og ikke skal begrundes.
51 — In Case 25/68 Schertzer v Parliament [1977] ECR 1729, paragraphs 38 to 40, and Case C-18/91 P V v Parliament [1992] ECR I-3997, paragraph 39, the Court, with regard to the unilateral termination of the contract of a member of the temporary staff considered that the justification for such termination, which is expressly provided for by Article 47 of the Conditions of Employment, lies in the contract of employment and there is no need therefore for a statement of reasons.
Den fastslåede ulovlighed, nemlig den manglende godtgørelse af, at der var blevet foretaget en sammenligning af fortjenesterne, har givetvis berøvet Marie-Claude Girardot muligheden for at opnå de pågældende stillinger og derfor muligheden for at oppebære den hermed forbundne løn.
Indeed, the unlawful act found to exist, that is the failure to demonstrate that a consideration of comparative merits had been carried out, certainly deprived Ms Girardot of the opportunity of filling the coveted posts and, therefore, of the opportunity of receiving the earnings relating thereto.
Men Retten har ved at anvende en metode, hvorved den tog hensyn til forventet løn, i forhold til den betydelige mulighed, som Marie-Claude Girardot havde for at opnå en sådan løn,
However, by using a method based on anticipated earnings, weighted to reflect the genuine chance that Ms Girardot had of obtaining such earnings, the Court of
FORSLAG TIL AFGØRELSE FRA GENERALADVOKAT MENGOZZI — SAG C-348/06 P afgørelse efter ret og billighed og fastsætte den godtgørelse, der findes mest rimelig for den lidte skade.
OPINION OF MR MENGOZZI — CASE C-348/06 P the most suitable compensation for the damage suffered.
Hvis den af Kommissionen foreslåede tilgang opretholdes, vil dette i sidste instans indebære, at der foreligger en risiko for, at den domstol, der skal træffe afgørelse i sagen tilsidesætter overholdelsen af princippet om fuldstændig godtgørelse for skaden 52.
If the approach proposed by the Commission were to be accepted, it would, in the final analysis, be liable to lead the court hearing the substance of the case to fail to observe the principle of full compensation for the damage.
således, at den hviler på samme kriterium, som Retten har anvendt.
52 that it is based on the same criterion as that used by the Court of First Instance.
Kommissionen fraviger reelt ikke dette kriterium for så vidt angår fastsættelse af omfanget af den skade, der, hvilket allerede er angivet i nærværende forslag til afgørelse, udelukkende henhører under Fællesskabets retsinstansers kompetence.
The Commission departs therefrom, in the final analysis, only as regards determining the extent of the damage which, as has already been stated in this Opinion, is within the exclusive jurisdiction of the court hearing the substance of the case.
Med andre ord, når Kommissionen erkender, at kriteriet om løn er relevant for erstatning for fortabt mulighed for ansættelse, herunder som udgangspunkt for sin beregningsmetode, kan den ikke længere i en appel kritisere beregningsmåden og omfanget af godtgørelsen af den lidte skade.
In other words, since the Commission acknowledges the relevance of the criterion of earnings for the purposes of compensating for the loss of an opportunity to be recruited, including as the starting point for its own method of calculation, it cannot, in the context of the appeal, criticise the method and extent of compensation for the damage suffered.
Disse betragtninger indebærer også, at jeg må forkaste Kommissionens anbringende vedrørende den tilsidesættelse af ligebehandlingsprincippet, som den af Retten anvendte metode skulle medføre.
Those considerations also lead me to dismiss the Commission’s claim concerning the unequal treatment which would be caused by the method used by the Court of First Instance.
Foruden den omstændighed, at en sådan kritik vedrører skadens omfang, tages der ved fremsættelsen heraf ikke hensyn til den nødvendige skønsmæssige vurdering, som den pågældende domstol skal råde over ved fastsættelsen af den mest rimelige godtgørelse af den lidte skade.
Indeed, not only are such criticisms concerned with the extent of the damage, they also disregard the necessary discretion which must be enjoyed by the court hearing the substance of the case when carrying out the most appropriate assessment of compensation for the damage suffered.
Som Kommissionen desuden har understreget, tilsigter den metode, som den foreslår, at erstatte den fortabte mulighed for ansættelse på samme måde.
Moreover, as the Commission has pointed out, the purpose of the method which it proposes is to compensate in a uniform way for the loss of an opportunity to be recruited.
En sådan tilgang indebærer dels, at den nødvendigvis individuelle karakter af det tab, der er forvoldt af fællesskabsinstitutionens ulovlighed, tilsidesættes, dels indebærer den en risiko for, at den hovedsageligt afskrækkende karakter af den økonomiske godtgørelse ændres, idet den medfører, at Kommissionen skal foretage en afvejning af overholdelsen af de regler, som påhviler den, og vedtagelsen af en ulovlig adfærd, hvis pris den i forvejen kender.
However, on the one hand, that approach tends to disregard the necessarily individual nature of damage caused by an unlawful act committed by a Community institution and, on the other hand, it entails the risk of undermining the overall deterrent nature of financial compensation and encouraging the administration to strike a balance between complying with the rules applicable to it and engaging in unlawful conduct which it knows the price of in advance.
Endelig må jeg også forkaste de klagepunkter, som Kommissionen har fremsat vedrørende omfanget af den fastsatte godtgørelse i den appellerede dom, der som fastslået i punkt 67 og 71 i nærværende forslag til afgørelse må fortolkes således, at de omhandler en manglende og/eller utilstrækkelig begrundelse, klagepunkter, som hovedsagelig vedrører den femårsperiode, som der
Finally, it is also necessary to dismiss the Commission’s complaints relating to the extent of the compensation as set out in the judgment under appeal, which it is appropriate, as stated in points 67 and 71 above, to interpret as relating to the absence and/or inadequacy of the statement of reasons, complaints which are concerned, in essence, with the period of 5 years taken into account in the judgment under appeal for the purposes of calculating the difference between the earnings expected by
52 — Jf. vedrørende dette princip dom af 8.10.1986, forenede sager 169/83 og 136/84, Leussink mod Kommissionen, Sml. s. 2801, præmis 13, dommen i sagen Lucaccioni mod Kommissionen, præmis 22, og punkt 4 i forslag til afgørelse fremsat af generaladvokat Darmon i forbindelse med dom af 14.2.1985, sag 131/81, Berti mod Kommissionen, Sml. s. 645.
52 — See, concerning that principle, Joined Cases 169/83 and 136/84 Leussink-Brummelhuis v Commission [1986] ECR 2801, paragraph 13, and Lucaccioni v Commission, paragraph 22, and also point 4 of the Opinion of Advocate General Darmon in Case 131/81 Berti v Commission [1985] ECR 645.
At pålægge, som Kommissionen har foreslået, den domstol, som skal afgøre sagen, den samme metode, fratager klart denne domstol hovedparten af dens fulde prøvelsesret, som gør det muligt for den at træffe
To require the court hearing the substance of the case to apply a uniform method, as the Commission suggests, would almost certainly prevent it from exercising a large part of the unlimited jurisdiction which allows it to rule ex aequo et bono by seeking
KOMMISSIONEN MOD GIRARDOT er taget hensyn til i den appellerede dom ved beregningen af forskellen mellem Marie-Claude Girardots forventede løn, såfremt hendes ansøgning var blevet efterkommet, og den løn, som hun reelt oppebar.
Ms Girardot if her applications had been accepted and those which she actually received.
Jeg skal herved alene anføre, at eftersom Retten dels i den appellerede doms præmis 62 har fastsat udgangspunktet for sammenligningsperioden til det tidspunkt, hvor udnævnelsen af de beståede ansøgere fik virkning, dels i dommens præmis 63-78 udløbet af nævnte periode under hensyntagen til alle de faktiske retlige omstændigheder, som havde reguleret forholdet mellem den pågældende og Kommissionen, hvis sidstnævnte var blevet ansat, har den tilstrækkeligt angivet de grunde, som foranledigede den til at anvende nævnte periode.
Indeed, it is sufficient to note that, by determining, on the one hand, in paragraph 62 of the judgment under appeal, the starting point of the comparison period as being the date on which the appointment of the successful candidates took effect and, on the other hand, in paragraphs 63 to 78 of that judgment, the term of that period by taking into account all the facts and points of law which would have governed the relationship between the person concerned and the Commission if the latter had recruited her, the Court of First Instance adequately explained the reasons which led it to use that period.
På grundlag af alle disse betragtninger foreslår jeg, at appellen forkastes.
In the light of all those considerations, I propose that the Court should dismiss the main appeal.
VII — Kontraappellen fortabte mulighed for karriere ved Kommissionen.
VII — The cross-appeal
Marie-Claude Girardot har anført, at en fastansættelse efter ansættelsen ikke var usikker. Den periode, der skulle tages i betragtning, må derfor være længere end den periode på fem år, som Retten har fastsat.
According to Ms Girardot, the prospect of appointment as an established official after recruitment was not uncertain.
Det andet åbenbare fejlskøn, som Retten har anlagt, vedrører fastsættelsen af lønforskellen.
The second manifest error of assessment committed by the Court of First Instance relates to the determination of the difference in earnings.
Retten har ved at anvende den månedlige nettoløn, der gennemsnitligt svarer til den sidste løn udbetalt af Kommissionen, i den appellerede doms præmis 85 tilsidesat det forhold, at hun havde haft større chancer for at blive ansat i en stilling i lønklasse A4 end i lønklasse A5, eftersom fem af de otte stillinger, hvortil Marie-Claude Girardot ansøgte, var indplaceret i lønklasse A4.
By using the net monthly earnings corresponding, on average, to the most recent remuneration paid by the Commission, the Court of First Instance disregarded, in paragraph 85 of the judgment under appeal, the fact that she had more chance of being recruited to a post at Grade A4 than a post at Grade A5, since five of the eight posts for which Ms Girardot had applied were at Grade A4.
Det tredje fejlskøn vedrører muligheden af konkretiseringen af chancen for at blive ansat, eftersom Retten ved at fastsætte den mulighed, hun havde for at opnå en stilling ved Kommissionen, til 50% ikke har taget hensyn til den omstændighed, at en ansøgning til otte stillinger snarere indebærer større chance for ansættelse, samt at en betydelig mulighed ikke svarer til en mulighed ud af to.
The third error of assessment relates to the probability of the opportunity to be recruited materialising, since the Court of First Instance, by determining at 50% the chance that Ms Girardot had of filling a post at the Commission, disregarded the fact, on the one hand, that applying for eight posts is more a factor likely to increase the opportunities of being recruited and, on the other hand, that a genuine chance is not the same as an even chance.
Det fjerde åbenbare fejlskøn består i, at Retten i den appellerede doms præmis 133-138 ikke har taget hensyn til alle de forhold, der indebærer ikkeøkonomisk og fysisk skade, skønt lægeattesterne vedlagt kontraappellen indeholder en konstatering af den depression, som hun har lidt af siden Kommissionens ulovlige afslag på hendes ansøgning.
Finally, the fourth manifest error of assessment lies in the absence of consideration, in paragraphs 133 to 138 of the judgment under appeal, of all the elements constituting nonmaterial damage and physical injury, although the medical certificates annexed to the cross-appeal refer to the depressive syndrome from which she has suffered since the unlawful rejection of her applications by the Commission.
Marie-Claude Girardot har i sin kontraappel anført, at Retten har tilsidesat fællesskabsretten, idet den har anlagt flere åbenbare fejlskøn.
In her cross-appeal, Ms Girardot contends that the Court of First Instance infringed Community law by committing several manifest errors of assessment.
Det første af disse vedrører fastsættelsen af den periode, der skal tages i betragtning ved beregningen af lønforskellen, idet Retten i den appellerede doms præmis 80 har afslået at tage hensyn til den
The first relates to the determination of the period to be taken into consideration when calculating the difference in earnings insofar as, in paragraph 80 of the judgment under
B — Stillingtagen lidte skade 54. Af disse to grunde må disse anbringender afvises.
B — Analysis for the damage suffered.
Det fremgår af artikel 225 EF og artikel 58, stk. 1, i Domstolens statut, at det alene er Retten, der er kompetent til dels at fastlægge de faktiske omstændigheder i sagen, når bortses fra tilfælde, hvor den indholdsmæssige urigtighed af dens konstateringer følger af akterne i den sag, den har behandlet, dels at tage stilling til disse faktiske omstændigheder.
It is clear from Article 225 EC and the first paragraph of Article 58 of the Statute of the Court of Justice that the Court of First Instance has exclusive jurisdiction, first, to find the facts except where the substantive inaccuracy of its findings is apparent from the documents submitted to it and, second, to assess those facts.
Når Retten har fastlagt eller vurderet de faktiske omstændigheder, har Domstolen i henhold til artikel 225 EF kompetence til at gennemføre en kontrol med den retlige vurdering af disse faktiske omstændigheder og de retlige konsekvenser, Retten har draget 53.
When the Court of First Instance has found or assessed the facts, the Court of Justice has jurisdiction under Article 225 EC to review the legal characterisation of those facts by the Court of First Instance and the legal conclusions it has drawn from them. 53
For så vidt angår det fjerde anbringende, hvorved Marie-Claude Girardot foreholder Retten ikke at have taget hensyn til de lægeattester, hun havde forelagt, forekommer dette anbringende mig at kunne realitetsbehandles, eftersom det tilsyneladende ikke vedrører en fejlagtig vurdering af bevismidlerne, men vedrører en retsstridig tilsidesættelse af pligten til at undersøge bevismidler, der angiveligt er fremlagt, og som skulle godtgøre forekomsten af andre tab end det materielle tab, som var forvoldt af den af Kommissionen begåede ulovlighed.
With regard to the fourth plea, by which Ms Girardot alleges that the Court of First Instance failed to take into account the medical certificates that she submitted, that, to me, appears to be admissible, since it seems to be directed not against the incorrect assessment of evidence, but against the alleged infringement of the obligation to examine the evidence allegedly adduced, which purports to establish the existence of heads of damage other than the material damage caused by the unlawful act committed by the Commission.
Da Domstolen under en appelsag har vurderet, om et anbringende støttet på en ufuldstændig gennemgang af de faktiske omstændigheder er begrundet 55, må et anbringende om Rettens manglende behandling af bevismidler efter min mening også kunne efterprøves af Domstolen.
Accordingly, just as the Court has, in the context of an appeal, ruled that a plea alleging an incomplete examination of the facts was well founded, 55a plea alleging the absence of an examination of evidence by the Court of First Instance should, in my view, also be subject to review on the part of the Court.
Af de anførte grunde finder jeg dog, at dette anbringende må forkastes som irrelevant og under alle omstændigheder som ugrundet.
However, for the reasons set out below, I take the view that that plea should be dismissed as irrelevant or, in any event, as unfounded.
