Judgment_paragraph 137 · European Commission and Council of the European Union v Francisco Carreras Sequeros and Others (C-119/19 P, C-126/19 P)

137It must be recalled in that regard that the principle of equal treatment, which is applicable to the law governing the EU civil service (see, to that effect, judgment of 22 December 2008, Centeno Mediavilla and Others v Commission, C‑443/07 P, EU:C:2008:767, paragraph 76), requires that comparable situations must not be treated differently and that different situations must not be treated in the same way unless such treatment is objectively justified (see, to that effect, judgments of 11 September 2007, Lindorfer v Council, C‑227/04 P, EU:C:2007:490, paragraph 63, and of 15 April 2010, Gualtieri v Commission, C‑485/08 P, EU:C:2010:188, paragraph 70).
