Appeal brought on 25 March 2013 by the European Commission against the judgment of the Civil Service Tribunal of 15 January 2013 in Case F-27/11, BO v Commission

(Case T-174/13 P)

Language of the case: French

Parties

Appellant: European Commission (represented by J. Currall and D. Martin, Agents)

Other party to the proceedings: BO (Amman, Jordan)

Form of order sought by the appellant

The appellant claims that the Court should:

annul the judgment of the Civil Service Tribunal of 15 January 2013 in Case F-27/11 BO v Commission;

dismiss the action brought by BO in Case F-27/11, ordering him to pay the costs of those proceedings;

decide that each of the parties are to bear their own costs relating to the present proceedings.

Pleas in law and main arguments

In support of the appeal, the Commission relies on a single plea in law alleging infringement of Article 19 of the Common rules on the insurance of officials of the European Communities against the risk of disease and of point 2.5 of Chapter 12, entitled ‘Transport costs’, of Title II of the Commission Decision of 2 July 2007 laying down general implementing provisions for the reimbursement of medical expenses, in so far as the CST failed to have regard to the strict nature of the exclusion of reimbursement of transport costs laid down by that latter provision.
