Decision

THE COMPLAINT IS DISMISSED.

Consideration 4

Extract:

"The question is [...] whether [the complainant] continues to be worth his place in the organisation. If he does, it is prima facie in the interests of the organisation to retain his services; if he does not, it is the Director-General's duty to allow the appointment to terminate. The Director-General must reach an informed and unprejudiced conclusion, but that is all that is required of him."
