The Plenum of the Council of State ruled illegal the 9 notices of the governor of the e-EFKA for filling positions of heads of general directorates and heads of regional services and by individuals, according to a statement by the President of the Supreme Court of Appeal Evangelia Nika.
Specifically, the Plenary of the Council of State, in a closed-door conference, accepted the application of ADEDY and ruled that the notices of the governor of e-EFKA for filling the contested positions of heads and individuals (with a three-year term), were not legal.
More specifically, the Plenary Session of the CoE ruled that:
1) The decision of the Board of Directors of the e-EFKA, in the part that determined that candidates for selection for the positions of heads of the general directorates of: a) Administrative Support, Technical Services and Housing, b) Strategy and Development, and c) the Regional Coordination and Support Services of Central Greece, Attica and Crete, as well as the respective contested notices, «were not legal». And they were not lawful, because the requirements of Law 4892/2022 are not met, since «it is not documented why, in view of the responsibilities, nature and mission of those posts, private individuals can be appointed to those posts as employees for a term of office and not exclusively permanent civil servants», and
2) The decision of the Board of Directors of e-EFKA and the contested notices «were not lawful insofar as they set an age limit for participation in the procedure, deviating from the provisions of Article 84 par. 4 of the Civil Service Code, even though Law No. 4892/2022 expressly refers to that provision of the Civil Service Code.
Furthermore, Ms Nika's communication states that the other grounds for annulment put forward, relating to the selection procedure, were rejected.
