31Next, it must also be noted that the applicant in the e-mail of 3 January 2014 raised complaints not mentioned in the e-mail of 19 December 2013 or the e-mail of 22 December 2013, in particular the conflict between Article 6(2) of the GIP and Article 85 of the CEOS and the infringement of the principle of the hierarchy of norms. The Director, in his capacity as the AECE, only replied to those complaints for the first time in his decision of 13 January 2014. Therefore, on any view, the period for bringing proceedings started to run on 13 January 2014, when that decision, taken in response to the e-mail of 3 January 2014 constituting the complaint, was communicated (see, as regards the admissibility of successive complaints, judgments in Ghignone and Others v Council, T‑44/97, EU:T:2000:258, paragraph 39; Collotte v Commission, F‑58/07, EU:F:2008:170, paragraph 32 and the case-law cited therein; and D’Agostino v Commission, F‑93/12, EU:F:2013:155, paragraph 30, against which an appeal has been brought before the General Court in Case T‑670/13 P). The action brought on 11 April 2014 was therefore not brought out of time.
