Action brought on 2 March 2005 by David Tas against the Commission of the European Communities

(Case T-124/95)

(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 2 March 2005 by David Tas, residing in Brussels (Belgium), represented by Sébastien Orlandi, Xavier Martin, Albert Coolen, Jean-Noël Louis and Etienne Marchal, lawyers ,with an address for service in Luxembourg.

The applicant claims that the Court should:

-    annul the Selection Board's decision in competition EPSO/A/4/03 not to admit him to the tests in the competition;

-    order the Commission to pay the costs.

Pleas in law and main arguments

The applicant, who possesses a university diploma of "M Sc in Business Administration", was a candidate in competition EPSO/A/4/03 for the drawing up of a reserve list of assistant administrators at Grade A8 in the auditing sphere. He challenges the Selection Board's decision to exclude him from the competition on the grounds that his university diploma did not satisfy the conditions of the competition notice.

In support of his action, the applicant pleads infringement of the conditions for admission fixed in the competition notice and a manifest error of assessment. He also claims that two other candidates, who were admitted to the competition tests, held the same diploma awarded by the same faculty of the same university and on that basis alleges breach of the principle of equal treatment.
