Action brought on 19 March 2004 by Yvonne Laroche against the Commission of the European Communities

(Case T-115/04)

(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 19 March 2004 by Yvonne Laroche, residing in Brussels, represented by Gilles Bounéou and Frédéric Frabetti, avocats, with an address for service in Luxembourg.

The applicant claims that the Court should:

-    annul the decision of 11 June 2003 to close the applicant's career development report (CDR) for the period from 1 July 2001 to 31 December 2002;

-    rule on costs, expenses and fees and order the Commission of the European Communities to pay same.

Pleas in law and main arguments:

The applicant takes issue with the decision of the appointing authority definitively establishing her career development report for the period from 1 July 2001 to 31 December 2002.

According to the applicant, the contested decision was taken at a date on which she was on sick leave. She was apprised of that decision only after she had returned to work.

In support of her contentions, she pleads breach of Article 43 of the Staff Regulations and its general implementing provisions, and breach of the assessment guide for the 2001-2002 reporting period, in conjunction with infringement of the principles of sound administration, non-discrimination and prohibition of arbitrary procedure, and breach of the obligation to state reasons.
