Notice for the OJ
Action brought on 15 July 2005 by Idoia Bengoa Geisler and two other officials against the Court of Justice of the European Communities
(Case T-287/05)
(Language of the case: French)
An action against the Court of Justice of the European Communities was brought before the Court of First Instance of the European Communities on 15 July 2005 by Idoia Bengoa Geisler, Cristina López Roca and Maria Manuela Farrajota, resident in Luxembourg, represented by Sébastien Orlandi, Xavier Martin, Albert Coolen, Jean-Noël Louis and Etienne Marchal, lawyers, with an address for service in Luxembourg.
The applicants claim that the Court should:
- set aside the decisions to appoint the applicants officials of the European Communities in so far as those decisions fix their recruitment grade pursuant to Articles 12 and 13 of Annex XIII to the Staff Regulations;
- order the defendant to pay the costs.
Pleas in law and main arguments
The applicants, officials of the Court of Justice recruited after 1 May 2004 as successful candidates in the competitions for which the notices had been published before that date, challenge the alleged discrimination resulting from the fact that the conditions under which they have been graded, in accordance with Article 12 of Annex XIII to Regulation (EC, Euratom) No 723/2004 amending the Staff Regulations of Officials, are different to those of successful candidates in the same competitions recruited before that amendment to the Staff Regulations. They submit, in support of their application, the same pleas in law and arguments as those adduced in Case T-130/05
