If a decision by the EPSO Selection board is considered to be unlawful, candidates can submit an appeal or a complaint based on the Staff Regulations of EU officials. A candidate can request a review for any decision the Selection Board or EPSO made that affected any phase of the candidate's selection process if the candidate believes there has been a material error or a breach of the rules of competition.
An example of this could be that the Selection Board did not accept a diploma or other qualification as relevant to the competition's profile as laid out in the Notice of Competition, and consequently the candidate was disqualified. If the candidate disagrees with the decision then they can submit a request for review.
There is a time limit for complaints, they give anywhere from three days up to three months time in which to submit complaints. Click here for full details on types of complaints.
The European ombudsman also receives complaints but those are limited to maladministration, which essentially means that the candidate challenges the rules rather than the individual decision.
