109With regard, in the first place, to the material damage, the applicant did not specify either its content or its extent in his pleadings. He merely made reference to the lawyer' s fees borne by him in connection with the various proceedings, to the misapplication of the disciplinary measure and to the fact that he was obliged to lodge a complaint against a decision refusing him promotion. So far as the lawyer' s fees are concerned, the fees relate to the conduct of the criminal proceedings and cannot be reimbursed in the present case in the absence of a causal link between that alleged damage and the fault committed by the Commission. As regards, in general, the financial consequences of applying the disciplinary measure, and in particular the loss of income inherent in the decision imposing relegation in step, it is sufficient to point out that, under Article 233 EC, the Commission is required to take the necessary measures to comply with this judgment. Finally, with regard to the damage alleged by the applicant in connection with the refusal of promotion, it is not relevant to the present proceedings.
