Decision
According to the provisions of Article 91 (3) of the Rules of Procedure the remainder of the proceedings on the objection raised, after the opposite party has put forward his submissions and the grounds for them, is to be oral unless the Court decides otherwise. The Court takes the view that in this case it has sufficient information and that there is no need to open the oral procedure.
The applications are obviously inadmissible in so far as they are directed against the Council.
According to Article 91 (2) of the Staff Regulations of Officials actions brought by officials under Article 179 of the EEC Treaty must be directed against the appointing authority. To the extent to which they are directed against the Council, these actions do not satisfy that condition.
Furthermore, as Regulations Nos 160/80 and 161/80 are neither decisions addressed to the applicants nor decisions which, although in the form of regulations, are of direct and individual concern to them, the applications are equally inadmissible in so far as they are based on Article 173 of the EEC Treaty.
