annul the decision rejecting his request to be regarded as exercising special responsibilities resulting in his assignment to the type of post ‘Adviser or equivalent’ pursuant to Article 30(3) of Annex XIII to the Staff Regulations;
—
incidentally, given the failure to implement Article 30(3) of Annex XIII to the Staff Regulations fully and in a non-discriminatory manner, annul the communication of 2013 (and the communication of 2014 in so far as it reproduces the communication of 2013);
