annul the decision of the Selection Board of 19 December 2022 not to include the applicant’s name on the reserve list of successful candidates of the open competition EPSO/AD/391/21-1 – Experts in technical Support to Members States’ Structural Reforms (AD7); |
— |
annul, in as far as necessary, the defendant’s decision, dated 24 January 2024, rejecting the applicant’s complaint filed on 14 August 2023, under Article 90(2) of the EU Staff Regulations, against the above-mentioned decision; |
— |
order the defendant to compensate the applicant for the material and moral damages suffered, resulting from the loss of opportunity to be put on the reserve list and to be recruited, as well as the moral damage suffered and estimated at EUR 5 000; |
— |
order the defendant to reimburse the applicant for all the costs incurred by her lawyers for the present appeal. |
Pleas in law and main arguments
In support of the action, the applicant relies on five pleas in law.
1. |
First plea in law, alleging that the procedure of marking was not published in the notice of competition. |
2. |
Second plea in law, alleging the separation of functions corresponding to the Selection Board (‘SB’) and EPSO was not respected. |
3. |
Third plea in law, alleging that the SB did not draw up a list with all the candidates who meet the requirements of the notice of competition. |
4. |
Fourth plea in law, alleging that the marking method was neither transparent, nor decided by the SB, leading to a breach of the duty to state reasons and of the applicant’s rights of defence and of the principle of good administration (refusal of access to her file). |
5. |
Fifth plea in law, alleging that the principle of equal treatment has been breached during the field-related interview. |
