Action brought on 20 September 2002 by Eva Vega Rodríguez against Commission of the European Communities

    (Case T-285/02)

    (Language of the case: French)

An action against the Commission of the European Communities was brought before the Court of First Instance of the European Communities on 20 September 2002 by Eva Vega Rodríguez, residing in Brussels, represented by Juan Ramón Iturriagagoitia Bassas, lawyer.

The applicant claims that the Court should:

-annul the decision of the Commission of 25 June 2002;

-order that she be paid compensation to make good the damage suffered by her in the amount of EUR 72 292.36, subject to all manner of reservations, together with default interest at the statutory rate;

-order the defendant to pay the costs.

Pleas in law and main arguments

The applicant in the present case, who applied to take part in Competition COM/A/10/01, challenges the removal of question 25 from Test A of the selection procedure, following the discovery of an alleged error in it. That decision prevented her from obtaining the minimum requisite number of marks and led to her failing that part of the test.

In support of her arguments, and with regard to the content of the abovementioned question, the applicant claims that the Protocol incorporating the Schengen acquis into the European Union is indeed the Second Protocol attached to the Treaty of Amsterdam and not, as the Commission claims, Decision 1999/436/EC.
