Defendant: European Commission

Subject-matter and description of the proceedings

Application for annulment of the Commission’s decision limiting the applicant’s pension rights, for a declaration that the conclusions adopted by the Heads of Administration on 16 June 2005 are inapplicable in so far as they limit the additional pension rights to be credited to the applicant’s pension and for an order that the defendant is to pay the applicant the retirement pension to which he is entitled.

Form of order sought

The applicant claims that the Tribunal should:

declare inapplicable to the present case the conclusions of the Heads of Administration, No 240/05 of 16 June 2005, in so far as they limit, on a pro rata basis, to the actual contribution period as opposed to a complete career as an official, the additional pension rights to be credited to the applicant’s pension in relation to the management allowance;

annul the contested decision, in so far as it limits the applicant’s pension rights in respect of the management allowance on a pro rata basis to the contribution period, as opposed to the number of years of pensionable service in a complete career as an official;

order the Commission to pay the applicant the retirement pension to which he is entitled, subject to deduction of the pension actually paid, together with default interest calculated at the rate applied by the ECB for its standard transactions, increased by two points;

order the Commission to pay the costs.
