Europa 1. Officials – integration – establishment board – duties – composition (EAEC staff regulations of officials, article 102) 2. Officials – ability, efficiency and conduct – assessment not influenced by services rendered in the sphere of staff representation (EAEC staff regulations of officials, annex ii, third paragraph of article 1(3)) 1. Even in the event of the reopening of the integration procedure it is unnecessary to modify the composition of the establishment board. On the one hand, the duty of this board is not to take penal or disciplinary measures, but rather to assess the ability, efficiency and conduct of an official in relation to the performance of the duties of a given official post. On the other hand only a single establishment board is able, through prolonged experience, to develop homogeneous criteria of assessment and, if necessary, to balance discriminatory or divergent opinions expressed by superior officers on the officials concerned. Cf. Paragraphs 1 and 2, summary, case 87/63 (1964) ECR 469. 2. The value of the services rendered by an official in the sphere of staff representation must not influence the assessment of the ability, efficiency and conduct of that official in relation to the performance of the duties involved in a given post provided for in the budget. The administration is required only to consider the volume of the work performed for the staff committee by the official concerned and to establish what effect the time spent on work as staff representative has had on the time devoted to the performance of his official duties.
