28In examining the question whether the fact that Mr Gardella may not transfer the capital value representing his pension rights to the EPO’s pension scheme may constitute an impediment to the free movement of workers within the European Union, it should be noted as a preliminary point that the option granted under the Staff Regulations to EU officials and other EU servants to transfer to the EU pension scheme the capital value representing the pension rights acquired during previous employment cannot be extended to officials of the EPO or to relations between a Member State and an international organisation such as the EPO.
