WRITTEN QUESTION No. 861/97 by Amedeo AMADEO to the Commission. Drugs (SUPPLEMENTARY ANSWER)
25. 2. 98 EN Official Journal of the European Communities C 60/9 2. The Commission confirms the content of its answer to Written Question P-3437/96 by Mr Bontempi concerning representation under the Staff Regulations. The same is true as regards trade union representation. On expiry of their term of office, in one case on the Central Staff Committee in the other in the political secretariat of a trade union/staff association, the two officials in question were reassigned to their original directorates-general. 3. The appointment of the Head of Division referred to by the Honourable Member was made in accordance with the relevant rules of the Staff Regulations after publication of the post and examination of applications by the Consultative Committee on Appointments made up of directors-general of the Commission. There is no incompatibility between having been on secondment and appointment to a management post. Secondment is an administrative position during which an official can perfectly well acquire experience and know-how serving to increase his or her capacity to manage an administrative unit. The Commission is delighted that some of its Category B officials progress to Category A and then, in the light of their aptitudes and merits, are entrusted with management responsibilities.
