Re:
In essence, annulment of the applicants' pension statements — and, in one case only, of the payslip of an applicant assigned to non-active status — of May 2004, in so far as those pension statements and payslips apply for the first time a weighting calculated illegally by reference to the cost of living in the applicants' respective countries of residence, and no longer in relation to the cost of living in the capital of each of those countries.
