Form of order sought by the appellant

Annul the order of the Civil Service Tribunal of the European Union of 19 February 2008 in Case F-49/07;

Grant the application for annulment and damages made by the applicant at first instance;

Pleas in law and main arguments

In the present appeal, the applicant is seeking the annulment of the order of the Civil Service Tribunal ('the Tribunal') dismissing as inadmissible the action in which he applied, first, for the annulment of his entire probationary period and all the measures produced in that connection, including the end of probationary period report, and, second, for damages by way of compensation for the loss allegedly suffered.

In support of his appeal, the applicant relies, first, on a denial of due process inasmuch as the Tribunal did not take account of certain factors and documents submitted by the applicant and, second, on an erroneous interpretation of the Rules of Procedure of the Civil Service Tribunal and the Staff Regulations of Officials of the European Communities. The applicant also relies on manifest errors in the assessment of the facts
