Procedural Posture

Annulment Action (recours En Annulation) / Final Order (ordonnance)

  1. 1 Whether the Commission failed to prevent or censure irregularities in the 2019 staff committee elections in Luxembourg

  3. 3 Whether the absence of indication of trade union affiliation for candidates on a joint list constituted an irregularity

The applicants' arguments were manifestly unfounded in law.
