Action brought on 5 August 2003 by Xanthippi Liakoura against the Council of the European Union

    (Case T-281/03)

    Language of the case: French

An action against the Council of the European Union was brought before the Court of Justice of the European Communities on 5 August 2003 by Xanthippi Liakoura, residing in Brussels, represented by Jean A. Martin, lawyer.

The applicant claims that the Court should:

(annul the decision of the Council of 5 May 2003 in so far as it does not:

1.delete, from the definitive report for the period from 1 July 1999 to 30 June 2001, the following words included under general observations: "She is encouraged to resume tasks of coordination and distribution of work in the Pool which she has performed efficiently in the past";

2.include a reference in that report to her "capacity for mobility and versatility";

(order the Council to pay the costs.

Pleas in law and main arguments

The applicant takes issue with the appointing authority's refusal to delete one phrase and include another in her staff report for the period from 1 July 1999 to 30 June 2001.

In support of her application, she relies inter alia on the following pleas:

(failure to have regard to the purpose of optional observations in so far as the fact that she was being "encouraged to resume tasks of coordination and distribution of work in the Pool" is in no way a justification of the assessment of "very good" under the headings concerned;

(inconsistency in the marks;

(failure to have regard to the observations of the Reports Committee;

(that she was the victim of harassment at her workplace;

(that she had amply and undeniably demonstrated a capacity for mobility and versatility. It would therefore be in keeping with the Staff Regulations for that merit to be specifically referred to in the staff report at issue.
