Dear colleagues,<\/p>\n

In November the new College started operating under a new structure allegedly aiming to fight silos and stimulate cooperation.<\/p>\n

On 22\/04\/2015, the College adopted a first batch of new organisation charts of the Commission departments that is declared to aim on gaining efficiency and synergies.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

DG GROW (the merge of DG ENTR, 3 directorates of DG MARKT and units from DG SANCO), is the first large scale reorgani\u00adsation that entered into force since the new College stepped in, and one of the largest reshuffling ever affecting a DG in the Commission given the very significant staff cuts it implies: 15% off. Additionally, a small reorganisation had already taken place on 01\/01\/2015 and lead to the suppression of 2 units.<\/p>\n

Comforting official communications was received by the DG GROW staff, such as \u00ab\u00a0all officials will move with their files\u00a0\u00bb or \u00ab\u00a0each official will be duly informed in advance\u00a0\u00bb. Now DG GROW staff is voicing substantial dissatisfaction of being left over and not being consulted or informed properly. Indeed, from face-to-face discussions of R<\/strong>&<\/strong><\/span>D <\/strong><\/span>representatives (list N\u00b09 for the Staff Local Committee representation), you provided us with comments on inconsistency and shared an increased feeling of uncertainty across DG GROW. Even colleagues at management level shared with us that they have not been properly consulted and in\u00adformed. And the proposed new structure was not taking into account their competences or skills at the right place, if ever taking these skills and competences at all in the new organisational structure. This, as you shared, leads to the demotivation and waste of efficiency, and contributes do the decrease of appreciation of the work place.<\/p>\n

The operational impact of the reorganisation is clearly announced: 15% staff reduction to horizon 2018. R<\/strong>&<\/strong><\/span>D <\/strong><\/span>notes that this is well beyond the 5% negotiated along the Staff regulation of 2014.<\/p>\n

As regarding the organisation chart, there is a net reduction of<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n
