Form of order sought

Annul the decisions of 20 July 2011 of the Deputy Secretary General, General Affairs, Human Resources and Internal Affairs, in so far as the multiplication factor resulting from the applicants’ promotion to grade AST 6/1 with effect from 1 April 2011 established by those decisions is the one that had been fixed for them on 1 April 2009 and not the one fixed for them on 24 March 2011 with effect from 1 April 2011;

In the alternative, annul those decisions in so far as the multiplication factor resulting from the applicants’ promotion does not take account of their seniority in step acquired between 1 April 2009 and 1 April 2011;

In the alternative, annul the decisions of 20 July 2011 in so far as they enter into effect as from 1 April 2011 and not on the date immediately following that on which the decisions of 24 March 2011 entered into effect;

Order the EESC to pay the costs.
