absence of final decision; receivability of the complaint; internal remedies exhausted

Considerations

Extract:

The complaint is not directed against any decision taken by the Director-General. The complainant impugns a decision of 11 March; in fact no administrative authority of the organization took any decision on that date concerning the complainant; 11 March is the date on which he appealed to the internal appeals body. The complaint is therefore irreceivable.
