Decision

THE COMPLAINT IS DISMISSED.

Consideration 7

Extract:

The organisation introduced incentives for certain officials willing to accept early retirement at age 60. The Tribunal notes that it was the complainant's own choice not to leave at 60 and that he later requested early retirement at the age of 62 1/2. The Tribunal concludes that it was national law which induced him not to retire at 60. The organisation cannot be held liable on that account. The complainant is not entitled to special benefits.
