Action brought on 20 May 2003 by Giuseppe Piro against the Commission of the European Communities

    (Case T-193/03)

    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 20 May 2003 by Giuseppe Piro, resident in Wezembeek Oppem (Belgium), represented by Sébastien Orlandi, 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 decision establishing the definitive staff report for 1997 to 1999;

(order the Commission to pay him EUR 1 as token damages for the harm suffered;

(order the Commission to pay the costs.

Pleas in law and main arguments

In support of his action, the applicant pleads breach of the obligation to state reasons in that the appeal assessor, when drawing up the applicant's report for 1999 to 2001, did not indicate the reasons why he did not take account of the views of the persons consulted or of the difficult working conditions. Nor did he explain precisely why the general assessment made by him was less favourable than that appearing in the staff report drawn up before the appeal to the Joint Committee on Staff Reports.

The applicant also pleads the non-material damage suffered by reason of the belated drawing up of his staff report.
