52In addition, and in any event, even on the assumption that the statement of the reasons for the decision rejecting the complaint was inadequate — which was not the case — it is settled law that the institution could have expanded on those reasons by giving further explanation before the Court following the introduction of this action (see, in particular, Case C-343/87Culin v Commission [1990] ECR I-225, paragraph 15, and Schloh, cited above, paragraph 85). In the present case, the adequate reasons given in the reply to the complaint were also enlarged upon to a considerable extent before the Court, in particular in the Parliament's answers to the Court's questions concerning the analytical assessments in the periodical reports on both the applicant and the successful candidate.
