Judgment_paragraph 189 · AX v European Central Bank (F-73/13)

189The question whether the statement of reasons for the ECB’s decision imposing a disciplinary measure on one of its members of staff meets those requirements must be assessed having regard not only to the wording of that decision, but also to its context and to all the legal rules governing the matter in question, namely disciplinary proceedings. In this connection, although the Disciplinary Committee and the Executive Board are required to state the issues of fact and law which constitute the legal basis of their Opinion and/or decisions, and the considerations which led them to adopt them, they are nevertheless not required to discuss all the issues of fact and law which have been raised by the interested party during the proceedings. In any event, the reasons given for a decision are sufficient if it was adopted in circumstances known to the staff member concerned which enable him to understand the scope of the measure concerning him (judgment in EH v Commission, F‑42/14, EU:F:2014:250, paragraph 131 and the case-law cited).
