Action brought on 1 April 2004 by Jamal Ouariachi against the Commission of the European Communities

    (Case T-124/04)

(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 1 April 2004 by Jamal Ouariachi, resident in Rabat (Moroccco), represented by France Blanmailland, avocat.

The applicant claims that the Court should:

Order the defendant to pay the applicant a total lump sum indemnity of EUR 150 000 by way of compensation for the non-material damage suffered by him;

Order the defendant to pay the costs.

Pleas in law and main arguments:

The applicant holds Moroccan and Spanish citizenships and resides in Morocco. By the present action he seeks compensation for the non-material loss he alleges he has suffered because his ex-wife has left Morocco with their two children, thereby depriving him of his visitation rights with his children. The applicant's ex-wife allegedly went to Sudan to join a Commission official who provided her with an invitation from the European Union delegation in Sudan in order to enable her to obtain a visa.

The applicant also alleges that the agent in question signed his children's school reports on several occasions, thereby wrongfully assuming the applicant's identity.
