Form of order sought

annul the report and the conclusions adopted on 30 June 2010 by the Committee of Inquiry, in so far as it did not undertake any investigation into the conduct of the Appeals Committee and its members, in so far as it defined mobbing and, finally, in so far as it dismissed the appeal, limited its activity to investigating the conduct of only a few people and arbitrarily ruled out investigation of some the circumstances surrounding the complaint;

annul the letters of 17 November 2010 and 30 November 2010 in which, in connection with the procedure under Article 41 of the Staff Regulations, the President of the EIB did not allow the applicant to represent himself, while the Bank was then represented by one of its own employees;
