C 231/49
Action brought on 19 May 2017 — Stips v Commission
(Case T-311/17)
(2017/C 231/63)
Language of the case: French
Parties
Applicant: Adolf Stips (Besozzo, Italy) (represented by: S. Orlandi and T. Martin, lawyers)
Defendant: European Commission
Form of order sought
Declare and rule,
—
principally, that the decision of the AECE of 19 August 2016 not to reclassify the applicant in grade AD 13 in the 2013 reclassification procedure is annulled;
—
in the alternative, that the Commission is ordered to make good in full the harm, both pecuniary and non-pecuniary, suffered by the applicant;
—
in any event, that the Commission is ordered to pay the costs.
Pleas in law and main arguments
In support of the action, the applicant relies on a single plea in law, alleging an infringement of Article 266 TFEU, in that the Commission ignored the grounds for the judgment of 19 July 2016, Stips v Commission (F-131/15, EU:F:2016:154) and executed that judgment in bad faith, thus undermining the force of res judicata given absolute effect by the Civil Service Tribunal.
