Opinion of Mr Advocate General Lenz

Mr President

Members of the Court,

A —. Adam Buick, the applicant in this staff case, seeks to obtain an improvement of his classification in the starting grade. He started work for the Commission in January 1974 as a probationary official in Grade A 7, step 3, and was promoted to Grade A 6 in January 1978.

B —. On those claims, my opinion is as follows :

C —. In conclusion, I therefore propose that the application be dismissed and that the parties be ordered to bear their own costs.
