regarding the request to amend the Rules of Procedure of the Court of First Instance of the European Communities as regards the language arrangements applicable to appeals against decisions of the European Union Civil Service Tribunal, submitted by the Tribunal, in accordance with

The purpose of the amendment requested by the Court of First Instance1 is to clarify the language arrangements applicable to appeals before the Court of First Instance against decisions of the Civil Service Tribunal.
In substance, this amendment provides that the procedural language will be the language of the Civil Service Tribunal decision against which the appeal is being lodged. The amendment is purely technical in nature and does not require any comment on the part of the Commission.
The Commission therefore agrees to the text proposed by the Court of First Instance.
