Composition

The European Union Civil Service Tribunal is composed of seven Judges appointed by the Council for a period of six years which may be renewed, following a call for applications and after taking the opinion of a panel of seven persons chosen from among former members of the Court of Justice and the General Court and lawyers of recognised competence.

When appointing the Judges, the Council ensures a balanced composition of the Tribunal on as broad a geographical basis as possible from among nationals of the Member States and with respect to the national legal systems represented.

The Judges of the Tribunal elect their President from among their number for a term of three years which may be renewed.

The Tribunal sits in Chambers of three Judges. However, whenever the difficulty or importance of the questions of law raised justifies it, a case may be referred to the full court. Furthermore, in cases determined by its Rules of Procedure, it may sit in a Chamber of five Judges or as a single Judge.
The Judges appoint a Registrar for a term of six years.

The Tribunal has its own Registry, but makes use of the services of the Court of Justice for its other administrative and linguistic needs.
