Pleas in law and main arguments
In support of his action, the applicant, in addition to putting forward very similar pleas to those raised in connection with Case F-5/05
1 and raising the same pleas of unlawfulness as invoked in that case, also contends that Council Regulation (EC, Euratom) No 723/2004 of 22 March 2004 amending the Staff Regulations of officials of the European Communities and the Conditions of Employment of other servants of the European Communities
2 is unlawful as to the part which inserts Article 1 of Annex IX to the Staff Regulations.
