Judgment_paragraph 190 · AX v European Central Bank (F-73/13)

190If, however, as in the present case, the disciplinary measure imposed on the person concerned is finally more severe than that suggested by the Disciplinary Committee, it must be held that, having regard to the requirements of every set of disciplinary proceedings, the ECB’s decision must, even in connection with an employment relationship which is purely contractual, state in detail the reasons why the Bank has not followed the Opinion issued by the Disciplinary Committee (see, to that effect, judgments in F. v Commission, 228/83, EU:C:1985:28, paragraph 35; N v Commission, T-198/02, EU:T:2004:101, paragraph 95; and EH v Commission, EU:F:2014:250, paragraph 132).
