C 95/34

Action brought on 8 January 2020 — Valiante v Commission

(Case T-13/20)

(2020/C 95/44)

Language of the case: English

Parties

Applicant: Diego Valiante (Antwerp-Berchem, Belgium) (represented by: R. Wardyn, lawyer)

Defendant: European Commission

Form of order sought

The applicant claims that the Court should:

—

annul the Commission decision of 14 March 2019 rejecting the applicant’s request to be admitted to the internal competition COM/1/AD10/18 (AD10);

—

order the Commission to pay the costs.

Pleas in law and main arguments

In support of the action, the applicant relies on three pleas in law.

1.

First plea in law, alleging violation of Article 27 of the Staff Regulations by the decision refusing to admit the applicant to the internal competition due to the lack of minimum grade.

—

The applicant alleges that the minimum grade is not the real indicator of the competencies. As a result, the requirement of a minimum grade prevents the recruitment of experienced and qualified candidates.

2.

Second plea in law, alleging violation of the principle of equal treatment and Article 27 of Staff Regulations by requirement of a minimum grade which does not affect in the same way temporary agents and officials.

3.

Third plea in law, alleging violation of Article 27 of the Staff Regulations by the requirement to apply to one field only which prevents the recruitment based on highest standard of ability, efficiency and integrity on the broadest possible basis.
