Court of Justice of the European Communities (including Court of First Instance Decisions)

++++
1.Officials - Action - Time-limits - Point from which time begins to run - Express rejection of a prior administrative complaint following, within the time-limit for bringing proceedings, an implied rejection
( Staff Regulations, Art . 91(3 ) )
2.Officials - Action - Purpose - Order directed to the administration - Inadmissibility
( Staff Regulations, Art . 91 )

1 . Where an official has submitted a complaint against his staff report on the ground of analytical assessments lower than those in the preceding report, the letter whereby the appointing authority informs him that it does not intend to improve the said assessments but proposes to remedy the deficiency in the statement of the reasons on which the report is based constitutes an express rejection of the complaint . That express rejection, after the implied rejection of the complaint but within the period for bringing proceedings which the latter rejection gives rise, causes a new period to begin to run by virtue of Article 91(3 ) of the Staff Regulations .
2.In the context of judicial review based on Article 91 of the Staff Regulations the Court has no jurisdiction to issue orders, with the result that a claim for an institution to be ordered to carry out an undertaking to amend the staff report of an official must be declared inadmissible . An obligation to that effect could result only from the annulment of the contested report .
