C 353/11

1.

The Council decided, by Decision 2004/752/EC, Euratom (1), to establish the European Union Civil Service Tribunal. The Tribunal, which is attached to the General Court of the European Union and has its headquarters at the General Court, has jurisdiction at first instance in disputes between the Union and its servants referred to in Article 270 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, including disputes between all bodies or agencies and their servants in respect of which jurisdiction is conferred on the Court of Justice of the European Union.

2.

The Civil Service Tribunal consists of seven judges, from among whom the President is chosen. The judges are appointed for a period of six years which may be renewed. The judges are appointed by the Council acting unanimously, after consulting a committee of seven persons chosen from among former members of the Court of Justice and the General Court of the European Union and lawyers of recognised competence. The committee gives its opinion on candidates' suitability to perform the duties of judge at the Civil Service Tribunal. The committee appends to its opinion a list of the candidates having the most suitable high-level experience. The list contains the names of at least twice as many candidates as there are judges to be appointed.

3.

The terms of employment and the general conditions for the performance of the duties of judge are determined by Article 5 of Annex I to the Protocol on the Statute of the Court of Justice of the European Union. The judges' remuneration, pensions and allowances are determined by Council Regulation (EC, Euratom) No 202/2005 of 18 January 2005 amending Regulation No 422/67/EEC, No 5/67/Euratom determining the emoluments of the President and Members of the Commission and of the President, Judges, Advocates-General and Registrar of the Court of Justice and of the President, Members and Registrar of the Court of First Instance (2).

4.

As there are two judges whose term of office is due to expire on 30 September 2014, a call is made for applications with a view to the appointment of two new judges for a period of six years from 1 October 2014 to 30 September 2020.

5.

It is apparent from Article 257 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, read in conjunction with Article 3 of Annex I to the Protocol on the Statute of the Court of Justice of the European Union, that candidates for the position of judge must satisfy the following conditions:

Candidates' attention is drawn to the fact that, in addition to those minimum conditions, the abovementioned committee will be required to take into particular consideration candidates' ability to work within a collegiate structure in a multinational, multilingual environment, and also the nature, extent and duration of their experience relevant to the duties to be performed.

6.

Applications must be accompanied by a curriculum vitae and a letter supporting the application, setting out the candidate's reasons for applying, together with photocopies of supporting documents.

Applications are to be sent to the following address:

Applications are to be sent by registered letter only, by 17 January 2014 at the latest (the postmark serving as proof).

To make it easier to process applications, applicants are kindly requested to send their curriculum vitae and supporting letter by e-mail as well, preferably in Word format (not in PDF format), to the following address:

cdstfp@consilium.europa.eu

Submission by e-mail does not, however, replace submission by registered letter and has no impact on the admissibility of applications.
