On 15 June the Civil Service Tribunal issued a judgement in the case
F-35/08 Pachtitis which ruled in favour of Mr. Pachtitis, a
candidate in a competition organised in 2006/7 to establish a
reserve list of Greek translators (AD5).
Mr. Pachtitis argued that he should not have been excluded from the
competition on the basis of his results in the pre-selection test,
exclusively defined by EPSO for that particular competition, without
any involvement of the selection board. Indeed, the cornerstone of
Mr. Pachtitis' case is an interpretation of Annex III of the Staff
Regulations which leads the Tribunal to conclude that only the
selection board, and not EPSO, has the power to choose the questions
for pre-selection tests. His result in the competition has therefore
been declared invalid.
It is important to say at the outset that EPSO does not share the
Tribunal's interpretation of the Staff Regulations. Having consulted
the Legal Service of the Commission, EPSO believes that there are
grounds for an appeal against the ruling.
