ECJ 1. Although the personal files of the officials eligible for promotion must be made available to the promotion committees and to the appointing authority, it would be unreasonable to require the committees and the appointing authority to explain in each case the use which they made of the information available to them.
2.The value of a qualification may be of significance when officials are recruited, established or even placed in a different category. In the case of subsequent promotion, however, other factors must be taken into account when the merits of officials eligible for promotion are compared, in particular the general quality of the work which they have performed in carrying out their duties.
An official cannot, therefore, take issue with the fact that among the officials selected for promotion was someone whose qualification was, in his estimation, inferior to his own.
