Order the Commission of the European Communities to pay the costs.

Pleas in law and main arguments

The applicant was informed on 26 April 2004 that he had been successful in open competition COM/A/3/02, the notice for which was published on 25 July 2002, to form a reserve list for the recruitment of administrators in career bracket A7/A6.

The applicant also claims infringement of the principle of the protection of legitimate expectations, the principle of the protection of acquired rights and the principle of equal treatment between officials in the same grade or career bracket.
