12To justify its decision the Commission maintained that the conditions for the grant of an invalidity pension laid down in Article 78 of the Staff Regulations and Article 13 of Annex VIII to the Staff Regulations were not fulfilled in the present case. In particular, it argued that, according to the express wording of those provisions and the interpretation of them in the judgments in Bahr, cited above, and Case T-295/97 Coussios v Commission [1999] ECRSC I-A-103 and II-577, ‘the procedure to establish invalidity may be initiated only in relation to an official who is obliged to end his service with the Communities because he is suffering from an invalidity preventing him from performing his duties’.
