Notice for the OJ

 

Action brought on 9 September 2002 by Athanacia-Nancy Pascall against the Council of the European Union.

(Case T-277/02)

Language of the Case: French

An action against the Council of the European Union was brought before the Court of First Instance of the European Communities on 9 September 2002 by Athanacia-Nancy Pascall, domiciled in Brussels, represented by 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 in the open competition COUNCIL/A/393 to give her a mark less than the minimum required for her oral test and not placing her on the reserve list;

-order the defendant to pay the costs.

Pleas in law and main arguments

In support of her action, the applicant relies on a breach of the obligation to state the reasons on which the decision was based. The applicant argues that the defendant ought to have informed her of the marks that she was given in respect of the various criteria that the selection board was required to consider.

In addition, the applicant relies on the breach of the legal framework constituted by the notice of open competition COUNCIL/A/393 and the breach of the principle of equal treatment. The applicant argues that the selection board was bound to assess her general and professional knowledge and qualifications in an interview in Greek. That interview was held in other languages.
