| schestowitz | First of all, let us give a big thank you to all those who voted in the Staff Rep elections in June. We appreciate your support and were impressed by the high turnout in the election of 69% of staff in The Hague! We would like to thank all the candidates that stood in the elections and extend a special thank you to the election committee who took on the task of organising the whole process. | Jul 12 01:38 |
| schestowitz | We have now also completed the constitution process to elect to the various roles according to the Articles 30 and 31 of the election rules that were approved by staff in a General Assembly in March. The composition of the Local staff committee is as follows:" | Jul 12 01:38 |
| schestowitz | "Dear colleagues, | Jul 12 01:38 |
| schestowitz | Home leave is regulated by the CODEX in Art 60 ServRegs, with the reimbursement of costs done according to Art 77(3) and Art 80(1)(c) ServRegs. In principle, this means that the actual costs for the journey should be reimbursed: | Jul 12 01:38 |
| schestowitz | “Travel expenses, actually incurred for the outward and return journey between the place of employment and his home, for such leave shall be reimbursed to the employee concerned” | Jul 12 01:38 |
| schestowitz | " | Jul 12 01:38 |
| schestowitz | " | Jul 12 01:39 |
| schestowitz | It makes sense to request reimbursement of the actual expenses one incurs to travel to & from their place of home leave (with their family), if these exceed the lump-sum calculation. | Jul 12 01:39 |
| schestowitz | When requesting home leave, the administration will provide you with a calculation for your expenses. If the calculation comprises a total sum of travel expenses that is lower than the actual expenses you incurred for the travel, we encourage you to request the reimbursement of your actual costs – and to do so before the actual journey. (Bear in mind you’ll of course need the invoices/tickets/proof of payment to establish your actua | Jul 12 01:39 |

| schestowitz | I like the analogy used by the opponent in the referring decision (also adopted by the Board at reasons paragraph 20). The recipe of Coca Cola is secret and it is not exactly reproducible without that secret recipe. But we know that it is a fizzy drink (i.e. carbonated and sugary) and that it contains a caramel colour.<br /><br />If I understand the logic of the first anonymous, this does not count as prior art against someone trying to | Jul 12 02:06 |
| schestowitz | claim a carbonated, sugary, caramel-coloured drink, because Coca Cola is not reproducible. Clearly this is an absurd result. Surely what matters is that the relevant properties of the product are known, even if not every detail is known (i.e. including details which are irrelevant to the claim). | Jul 12 02:06 |
| schestowitz | If someone trialling a ploughshare in the middle of nowhere counts as prior art because there was a public footpath within sight then a product placed on the market is also prior art. | Jul 12 02:07 |
| schestowitz | The referring decision mixes up things. Some properties (composition) of the allegedly prior used material are disclosed in D1, D2 and D5/5a, so for inventive step one could start from any of these documents as such, provided that they belong to the prior art, not fro the prior use of the material, which would require analysis/reproducibility according to G1/92. This could have been clarified by the board and did not need a referral. | Jul 12 02:07 |
