Editorial<\/h1>\n

Dear Readers,<\/em><\/p>\n

This month, our Focus<\/a> section examines the assessment and promotion process<\/a>.\u00a0\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

Our case law commentary<\/a> delves into a General Court ruling, which annulled the appraisal report of the agent<\/a>. The Court found that the EEAS breached its duty of impartiality since the EEAS did not organise the appraisal procedure relating to the 2021 financial year in such a way as to offer the applicant sufficient guarantees as to the reporting officer\u2019s objective impartiality.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

Towards the end of this issue, you will find an in-depth analysis of Belgian law<\/a> concerning the new rules in the Brussels Housing Code concerning the prohibition on unfair rent for lessors\/leaseholders<\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n

This newsletter is also yours, and we welcome all your suggestions for our upcoming issues. Please feel free to contact us by email at: theofficial@daldewolf.com<\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n

Focus – The promotion process <\/strong><\/h2>\n

The promotion process is not an automated one and promotion itself occurs based on a decision by the Appointing Authority (AIPN) following a comparative assessment of candidates’ merits.<\/p>\n
