This action is brought against the decision of the selection board for open competition COM/A/4/02 "Administrators", through qualifications and an oral test, with a view to constituting a reserve list for the recruitment of a head of representation in grade A3 in Rome, excluding the applicant from admission to the oral test in the above-mentioned competition.

In particular, the ground that the applicant does not have thorough knowledge of Community institutions, programmes and policies is contested.

In support of his arguments, the applicant claims that this ground is unfounded, unjustified, illogical and inconsistent.
