The basic monthly salary of the President, Vice-President, Members and Registrar of the General Court shall be equal to the amount resulting from application of the following percentages to the basic salary of an official of the European Union on the third step of grade 16:

It is clear from paragraph 1 of the first group of eligibility criteria contained in the vacancy notice that, according to Article 98 of the Staff Regulations, candidates must be officials of the General Secretariat of the Council of the European Union, of the Commission or of the EEAS, or temporary staff to whom Article 2(e) of the CEOS applies, that is to say, staff seconded from the national diplomatic services of the Member States engaged in order to occupy temporarily a permanent post within the EEAS, or staff from the national diplomatic services of the Member States.

The vacancy notice states that candidates must be officials of certain institutions of the European Union in one of the grades AD 5 to AD 14, or temporary staff to whom Article 2(e) of the CEOS applies, or staff from national diplomatic services of the Member States.

Thus, there is a breach of the rule that the post should correspond to the grade only where the functions performed, taken as a whole, fall far short of those corresponding to the grade and post of the official concerned (judgment in Z v Court of Justice, F‑88/09 and F‑48/10, EU:F:2012:171, paragraph 138, on appeal before the General Court of the European Union in Case T‑88/13 P).

Payment shall be made to each official at the place and in the currency of the country where he carries out his duties or, at the request of the official, in euros in a bank within the European Union'.

The provisions of the first paragraph shall not apply to an official or former official giving evidence before the Court of Justice of the European Union or before the Disciplinary Board of an institution on a matter concerning a servant or former servant of the European Union'.
