101Nonetheless, it should be remembered that, again according to consistent case-law, the basis of the employment relationship between a member of the temporary staff and the institution or agency concerned is a contract of employment (judgments of 18 October 1977 in Schertzer v Parliament, 25/68, EU:C:1977:158, paragraph 40, and 19 June 1992 in V. v Parliament, C‑18/91 P, EU:C:1992:269, paragraph 39). Consequently, as regards the possibility of terminating a contractual relationship, once that relationship has been established by mutual agreement between the parties, the AECE cannot act unilaterally like an appointing authority, but is bound by the relevant provisions of the contract with its staff member and, in any event, is bound to comply with the provisions of the CEOS, in particular Articles 14 and 47 thereof.
