Action brought on 16 October 2003 by Andreas Mausolf against Europol

(Case T-355/03)

(Language of the case: Dutch)

An action against Europol was brought before the Court of First Instance of the European Communities on 16 October 2003 by Andreas Mausolf, resident in Leiden (Netherlands), represented by M.F. Baltussen and P. de Casparis.

The applicant claims that the Court should:

annul the implicit rejection by Europol of the applicant's complaint challenging the decision of 2 January 2003 and also to annul the decision of 2 January 2003;

order Europol to pay compensation to Andreas Mausolf, including in any event the costs of these proceedings.

Pleas in law and main arguments

The applicant contests the decision not to award him an extra step with effect from 1 July 2002.

The applicant submits that the contested decision contains an inadequate statement of reasons and thereby conflicts with the general principle that decisions must state the reasons on which they are based.
