Judgment_paragraph 63 · MZ v European Commission (T-631/20)

63Thus, the broad discretion enjoyed by the EU institutions in the organisation of their departments and, in particular, in the determination of the criteria of ability required for the positions to be filled and, in the light of these criteria and in the interests of the service, the conditions and procedure for organising competitions, is governed in mandatory terms by Article 1d of the Staff Regulations, so that differences of treatment based on language resulting from restrictions of the language regime of a competition to a limited number of official languages can only be accepted if such a limitation is objectively justified and proportionate to the real needs of the service (see judgment of 26 March 2019, Commission v Italy, C‑621/16 P, EU:C:2019:251, paragraph 90 and the case-law cited).
