Where there are no permanent provisions, however, the administration may apply Article 12(3) of Annex XIII to the Staff Regulations by analogy without disregarding its transitional nature.

It follows from Article 10 of the Conditions of Employment that the administration has discretion to determine the grade of members of the temporary staff. In the absence of any internal provision on the subject, that discretion is circumscribed solely by the obligation to employ those staff in the grade announced in the call for applications and by the need to adhere to the structure of the categories or function groups laid down in Article 5(1) to (4) of the Staff Regulations.
That being so, and where the grade announced in the call for applications has been repealed, an institution may reasonably be guided by the solution adopted by the Community legislature when adopting Annex XIII to the Staff Regulations and apply by analogy Article 12(3) of that annex, which relates to the classification of officials included in a list of suitable candidates before 1 May 2006 and recruited between 1 May 2004 and 30 April 2006.
