Staff reform about to start?
Before a single negotiation procedure between the Administration and the staff representation has been started or even announced, a Commissioner reveals to the press the existence of a plan to deeply revise the status and privileges of European civil servants to be disclosed in June 2011.
We can only hope that there is somehow a misunderstanding concerning the information provided by Commissioner Lewandowski to the press, but after having listened carefully to his presentation (from min. 21) we'll ask the Commission to clarify the situation.
Training for the preparation of EPSO Open Competitions
Most probably the training course will be on 10th June (whole day): do not book your holidays in that period if you are interested!
Further details will follow.
SSS
We got several questions concerning the participation in the Staff Satisfaction Survey (SSS).The administration asked the Local Staff Committee (CLP) to help in encouraging staff to fill in the JRC Staff Satisfaction Survey for 2011.
R&D thinks that everybody should decide for her/his own to participate or not and shares the position taken by the CLP (see below).

….
The Local Staff Committee (CLP) would like to thank the administration for asking us to invite staff to participate in the Staff Satisfaction Survey because of the low response rate until now.
The CLP has the opinion however that the administration didn't take well enough into consideration the arguments we made. Most already raised before the launch of the SSS. We still think that:
- Neither the CLP nor staff has been well informed on the follow-up of the previous SSS. We guess that that most colleagues wouldn't be able to mention 3 items which were improved by the administration after the last SSS.
- The questions are too specific and staff might feel the risk of being identified as an individual, even if the administration promised not to do so.
- There was no support from the administration at all to improve the attractiveness of the site, by helping us to change the unjustified Correction Coefficient applied for Ispra.
- We didn't see any willingness at all to solve the so urgent problem of mobility at the Ispra site.
- There is sometimes a lack of initiative and good willingness to help staff within a reasonable delay.
Kind regards,
