Staff Regulation are no longer respected by the whole ADMINISTRATION?
According to our R&D team involved in the appraisal and promotion procedure for 2010, DG HR’s analysis and proposals to the Joint Appraisal and Promotion Committees for AD and AST are much worse than the provisions of the consolidated Staff Regulations [STATUTE] for AST 4D, AST 6C, AST 10(ex B) and AD 13 officials.
In short, we demand:
* Immediate and regular information on all aspects of the EEAS from the nascent service itself.
* Clarity on the practical aspects of staff’s daily lives as of 1 January.
* Clear, provisional arrangements now allowing the EEAS to function and staff to work with service level agreements with Council and the Commission.
* Clarity for staff from the Member States on the provisional arrangements applying to them.
The 2010 CDR appeals phase is coming to an end. As last year, over 3500 colleagues filed appeals, mostly those with 4 or 5 points. R&D together with other trade unions fiercely defended each and every appeal in the competent committees and working groups.
R&D demand an end to this disaster: we invite the Commissioner and DG HR to finally accept the exorbitant failure of the CDR in its entirety, and to follow best practices in other institutions.
We cannot accept another round of this nightmare for everybody involved next year!
R&D has observed that the OIB is moving towards a supposedly innovative policy proposing so-called « open space ».
R&D therefore firmly requests that the competent services of DG HR take responsibility for the role which falls to them by ensuring, amongst others, a respect for the basic principles of the policy of health, safety and well-being at work.
