Contract Agents – Moving towards a New Policy
Since 2009, DG HR has been negotiating with the Commission's trade unions and staff associations, on proposals for a new policy on contract agents. The new policy will cover a number of areas notably: selection procedures; grading upon recruitment; probation period; length of contracts; mobility; and the methods for evaluation and reclassification.
During the negotiations, trade unions have identified a number of aspects for improvements to the original proposal. Negotiations should shortly be finalised. TAO-AFI will keep you informed.
The negotiations to date have underlined the need to separately draw up clear rules in a number of other areas:
· the distinction between "core" and "non-core" tasks: the former for officials and the latter for contract agents. Trade unions have repeatedly called on DG HR to clarify exactly what these tasks are.
· the application of the provisions in the staff regulations concerning recruitment and setting out that: "To address specific needs of the institutions, labour market conditions prevailing in the Community may also be taken into account." DG HR has on a number of occasions used these provisions as justification to downgrade the entry grades. Trade unions have repeatedly called on DG HR to clarify its application of these provisions.
European External Action Service (EEAS)
An important aspect to be addressed is the effect on colleagues remaining in the Commission. Will the various "service-level agreements" currently being talked about result in the Commission's HR services (notably PMO and OIB) having to take on a lot more work for the EEAS, at the expense of further delays and reductions in service to the rest of the Commission?
What about access to Commission services such as those provided by the crèches? Will all staff in the EEAS have access to these? If there is no increase in the resources available for these services, will there be reductions in the standards of service quality?

Les Agents Contractuels - Vers une nouvelle politique
Depuis 2009, la DG Ressources Humaines a négocié avec les syndicats de la Commission et les représentants du personnel la mise en place d'une nouvelle politique pour les agents contractuels. Cette nouvelle politique portera sur un certain nombre de domaines, notamment : les procédures de sélection, de classement lors du recrutement, la période de stage, la durée des contrats, la mobilité et les méthodes d'évaluation et de reclassement.
Service Européen d'Action Extérieure (SEAE)
Un aspect important à considérer dans le cadre de la mise en place du Service Européen d'Action Extérieure est son impact sur le reste des collègues de la Commission.
Qu'en est-il de l'accès du personnel du SEAE aux services de la Commission tels que par exemple les crèches? Etant donné qu'aucune augmentation des ressources n'est prévue pour ces services, devons-nous en déduire que ceux-ci subiront une baisse de leur niveau de qualité?
