31By its second plea in law, which it is appropriate to examine first, the EAR submits, in particular, that the conditions for reliance on the principle of the protection of legitimate expectations set by the Community case-law are not fulfilled in the present case. Citing the settled case-law of the Court of First Instance (see Case T-199/01 G v Commission [2002] ECR-SC I-A-217 and II-1085, paragraph 38), the EAR maintains that ‘specific, unconditional and consistent assurances’ cannot arise from the contradictory stipulations which appear in the contract. In addition, the assurances allegedly given to Mr Karatzoglou do not comply with the rules applicable to the EAR and, in particular, to Article 23 of Regulation No 2454/1999 which imposes on the EAR the obligation to recruit members of the temporary staff only for a period strictly limited to its needs.
