Operative part of the judgment
The Court:
|
1) |
Annuls the decision of 18 July 2000 of the Secretary-General of the Parliament terminating the applicant's secondment in the interests of the service to the EDD political group and reinstating him in the Directorate-General for Information and Public Relations in so far as that decision is applicable between 15 July 2000 and 24 July 2000; |
|
2) |
Orders the Parliament to pay the applicant a sum corresponding to the difference between the remuneration which he should have received as an official in Grade A 2, Step 1, and that which he received following his reinstatement in Grade LA 5, Step 3, for the period 15 to 24 July 2000, plus default interest at the rate of 5.25 % per annum from the date on which the amounts making up that sum were payable until such date as payment is actually made. The rate of interest to be applied is calculated on the basis of the rate set by the European Central Bank for main refinancing operations applicable during the period concerned, plus two percentage points; |
