64Consequently, the applicant could easily have attended her interview on 10 July 2012 while still complying with both the Leave Guide and the internal practices of the Parliament. In that regard, the Tribunal considers that, irrespective of the subjective reasons given by the applicant in an attempt to justify her behaviour, it is not acceptable for a staff member to feign illness and thereby falsely claim an additional day of annual leave. Furthermore, it is perfectly legitimate for the administration to ensure, including through the use of comments in a staff report in connection with an irregularity of that kind, that staff members use their annual leave under the proper conditions (see, to that effect, judgment in CQ v Parliament, F‑12/13, EU:F:2014:214, paragraph 118).
