C 357/38
Action brought on 16 August 2019 — DS and Others v Commission and EEAS
(Case T-573/19)
(2019/C 357/46)
Language of the case: French
Parties
Applicants: DS and 718 other applicants (represented by: S. Orlandi and T. Martin, lawyers)
Defendants: European Commission and European External Action Service
Form of order sought
The applicants claim that the Court should:
—
annul the decisions fixing the applicants’ number of days of paid annual leave for 2019;
—
in any event, order the Commission and the EEAS to pay the costs.
Pleas in law and main arguments
In support of the action, the applicants put forward a single plea in law, based on an objection of illegality directed against Article 6 of Annex X to the Staff Regulations of Officials of the European Union on the same grounds as those adopted by the Court in the judgment of 4 December 2018, Carreras Sequeros and Others v Commission, (T-518/16, EU:T:2018:873). According to the applicants, the defendant institutions refused to apply that judgment even though its effects are not suspended, which is akin to an unlawful suspension of operation of a judgment of the Court.
