81The Tribunal points out that, according to settled case-law, relating to members of the temporary staff but applicable by analogy to members of the contract staff, on account of the broad discretion enjoyed by the AECE, where there is wrongful conduct capable of justifying the dismissal of a member of the temporary staff or contract staff, there is no obligation on that authority to initiate disciplinary proceedings against him rather than using the option of unilaterally terminating the contract provided for in Article 47(b) of the CEOS. It is only if the AECE intends to dismiss a member of the temporary staff or contract staff without notice, in a serious case of failure to comply with his obligations, that the disciplinary procedure provided for in Annex IX to the Staff Regulations of Officials, which applies by analogy to members of the temporary staff and contract staff, should be initiated, as provided for in Article 49(1) of the CEOS (judgments in Longinidis v Cedefop, T‑283/08 P, EU:T:2011:338, paragraph 100; Gomes Moreira v ECDC, F‑80/11, EU:F:2013:159, paragraph 49; and CT v EACEA, F‑36/13, EU:F:2013:190, point 54).
