No. 233, Teixeira (1978)). In those Judgements, the Tribunal established that a staff member who, on the expiration of his or her contract of employment, continues to perform the same functions but is denied the status of a staff member and is given special service agreements instead, has the right to have the original status continued for the duration of those agreements. The Tribunal also stated that: "... long-term and repeated use of the special service agreement may produce unintended consequences where work- 10 - performed is full-time, continuous and in other important respects indistinguishable from the work of individuals in the same office who have the status of staff member". (Judgement No. 281, Hernández de Vittorioso , para. II) In Judgement No. 423, Isaacs, paragraph X, the Tribunal added that: "These considerations apply a fortiori when the continuous service of a staff member which entails participation in the Fund, is broken by a special service agreement." III.The Tribunal must analyse the situation in the present case in this context. When the Applicant was originally employed as a staff member on a two year and 29 day fixed-term appointment from 3 January 1978 to 31 January 1980, it was stated in her letter of appointment that her employment was "limited to service with the International Year of the Child Secretariat", i.e. for a specific purpose, in connection with a particular project. When this appointment was extended for two further fixed-term periods until 30 September 1980, it was still for the same purpose and still "limited to service with the International Year of the Child Secretariat". Thereafter, the Applicant was employed on a series of special service agreements, to perform further duties, still connected with the International Year of the Child. These special service agreements ran from 29 October 1980 until 31 March 1981.
**Analysis**
The text appears to be discussing the employment status of an individual in an international organization, specifically the International Year of the Child Secretariat. The language used is formal and bureaucratic, suggesting a context related to employment or administrative law. The mention of "special service agreements" and "staff member" further support this hypothesis. Additionally, the text does not contain any references to specific industries, sectors, or activities that would suggest a connection to other categories.
