(iii)   Knowledge of languages

Candidates must have a thorough knowledge (at least level C1 (4)) of one of the European Union’s official languages (language 1): Bulgarian, Croatian, Czech, Danish, Dutch, English, Estonian, Finnish, French, German, Greek, Hungarian, Irish, Italian, Latvian, Lithuanian, Maltese, Polish, Portuguese, Romanian, Slovak, Slovene, Spanish or Swedish,

and

a very good knowledge (at least level B21) of English or French (language 2).

Language 2 must be different from language 1.

Candidates are informed that the two second-language options for this selection procedure, i.e. English and French, have been laid down in the interests of the service. By virtue of the duties involved, the posts on offer call for specific qualifications: the ability to analyse problems and drafting, technical supervision and administrative management skills. The newly recruited officials must be able to understand the tasks to be carried out, address problems and communicate effectively with outside contact points and with their superiors and colleagues.

French is the language most commonly used to communicate within and among the units in the two directorates to which successful candidates will be recruited. A good command of French is also essential to a proper understanding of the legislation applicable to buildings and management of the stock of buildings and building projects in Brussels, Luxembourg and Strasbourg. It is also the standard language of communication with outside contact points (service providers, administrations and local authorities in connection with the rules in force in the areas of buildings and health and safety). English is the language most frequently used in dealings with the other directorates in the Directorate-General for Infrastructure and Logistics, the other directorates-general and Parliament’s political and administrative authorities, in particular when it comes to the drafting of documents.

What is more, the instructions and rules applicable in the area of building safety are drawn up in English and French and must be available and notified to the public in these two languages.

Accordingly, if they are to perform their duties and ensure that departments run smoothly, the persons recruited must be able, within a reasonable period after they join the service, to work and communicate effectively in at least one of these two languages.

In addition, in the interests of equality of treatment, all candidates, even if they have one of these two languages as their first official language, are required to have a satisfactory knowledge of a second language, which must be one of those two languages.

1.   INTRODUCTION

What form does a selection procedure take?

Selection procedures consist of a series of stages in which candidates compete against one another; they are open to all citizens of the European Union who, on the deadline for submission of applications, meet the relevant criteria. They give all candidates a fair opportunity to demonstrate their skills, with a view to discrimination-free selection based on merit.

Successful candidates in a selection procedure are placed on a list of suitable candidates, on which the European Parliament will draw in order to fill the post to which the recruitment notice applies.

A selection committee, consisting of members representing the Administration and the Staff Committee, is appointed for each selection procedure. The proceedings of the selection committee are confidential and are conducted in accordance with Annex III to the Staff Regulations of Officials (1).

Candidates may not under any circumstances approach the selection committee themselves, either directly or indirectly. The appointing authority reserves the right to disqualify any candidate who disregards this instruction.

The selection committee adheres strictly to the eligibility criteria set out in the recruitment notice when deciding whether or not each candidate should be admitted to the selection procedure. Candidates admitted to a previous competition or selection procedure will not automatically be eligible.

In order to select the best candidates, the selection committee compares the candidates’ performance, with the aim of assessing their suitability to perform the duties described in the recruitment notice. This means that it must not only assess the candidates’ knowledge, but also identify the best-qualified individuals on the basis of their merit.

Please note that selection procedures take between six and nine months, depending on the number of candidates.

2.   THE STAGES IN A SELECTION PROCEDURE

A selection procedure comprises the following stages:

drawing-up of a list of suitable candidates.

Receipt of application files

Candidates must submit a complete application file, including the application form specific to the recruitment notice, completed and signed and accompanied by all the requisite supporting documents showing that they meet the general and specific conditions set out in the recruitment notice. Failure to do so will result in exclusion from the competition. The application file must be sent by registered post by the date specified in the recruitment notice. (Dispatch by private courier company will be accepted as equivalent to dispatch by registered post. In such cases, the date of handing-in to the courier company as shown on the delivery form will be taken as the date of dispatch). The address and closing date for applications are given in section C of the recruitment notice.

Assessment of compliance with the general conditions

The Talent Selection Unit will check applications in order to determine whether they are admissible, i.e. whether they have been submitted in the form and by the closing date given in the recruitment notice and whether each candidate meets the general eligibility conditions.

Candidates will therefore be
  automatically eliminated
  if they:

After the closing date for applications
  , candidates will be informed individually if their application has been rejected.

A list of the candidates who meet the general conditions set out in the recruitment notice will be drawn up by the appointing authority and forwarded to the selection committee with the application files.

Assessment of compliance with the specific conditions

The selection committee will consider the application files and draw up a list of candidates who meet the specific conditions set out in the recruitment notice. It will base its decisions
  solely
  on the information given on the application form and
  substantiated by supporting documents enclosed with it
  .

Applications must give full details of candidates’ studies, training, knowledge of languages and, where appropriate, professional experience, as follows:

| — | as regards studies: the dates on which they began and ended and the nature of the diploma(s) obtained, as well as the subjects studied; |
| --- | --- |

—

as regards studies: the dates on which they began and ended and the nature of the diploma(s) obtained, as well as the subjects studied;

| --- | --- |

—

as regards professional experience: the dates on which the periods of experience began and ended and the precise nature of the duties performed.

Candidates who have published studies or articles or any other texts relevant to the duties set out in the job description should mention these on the application form.

Candidates who do not meet the specific eligibility conditions set out in the recruitment notice will be eliminated at this stage.

The selection committee will inform all candidates by letter of its decision concerning their admission/non-admission to the procedure.

Assessment of qualifications

In order to select the candidates who are to be invited to the tests, the selection committee will assess the qualifications of the candidates admitted to the selection procedure. It will base its decisions
  solely
  on the information given on the application form and
  substantiated by supporting documents enclosed with it
  (see section 3 below). The selection committee will base its work on criteria which it has laid down in advance, taking account in particular of the qualifications specified in section B.2 of the recruitment notice.

The selection committee will inform all candidates by letter of its decision concerning their admission/non-admission to the tests.

Tests

All the tests are compulsory and eliminatory. The maximum number of candidates who may be admitted to the tests is specified in section B.2. of the recruitment notice.

For organisational reasons, candidates may be invited to all the written and oral tests. However, the tests will be marked in the order in which they appear in the recruitment notice. Consequently, if a candidate does not achieve the minimum mark required in one of the tests, the selection committee will not mark the subsequent tests.

The tests of candidates who give up will not be marked.

List of suitable candidates

The maximum number of candidates who may be placed on the list of suitable candidates is specified in section B.4. of the recruitment notice.

The inclusion of a candidate’s name on the list of suitable candidates means that he or she may be called for interview by one of Parliament’s departments, but it does not constitute either a right to, or a guarantee of, recruitment.

3.   HOW TO APPLY

General remarks

Before applying, candidates should check carefully whether they meet all the eligibility conditions, both general and specific. To that end, candidates should first read the recruitment notice and this guide and take due note of the relevant requirements.

Although recruitment notices do not specify any age limit, please note the retirement age for staff laid down in the Staff Regulations of Officials of the European Union.

Candidates are required to complete the application form (original or copy) which is specific to the recruitment notice and contained in this Official Journal published by the Publications Office of the European Union.

Documents sent after the closing date will not be taken into account.

Candidates who have a disability or whose circumstances are such that they might cause difficulties during the tests (e.g. because they are pregnant or are breastfeeding, or because they have health problems or are undergoing medical treatment) must state that fact on the application form and provide any relevant information so that the Administration can take appropriate measures, where possible. If appropriate, they should enclose with their application form a separate sheet giving details of any arrangements which they consider necessary to help them take the tests.

What supporting documents should be enclosed with the application file?

General remarks

Please do not send originals; only non-certified photocopies of the documents required should be enclosed. References to websites will not be regarded as constituting supporting documents. Printouts of pages from websites will not be regarded as certificates, although they may be enclosed purely to provide additional information.

Please note that successful candidates on the list of suitable candidates who are offered a job will be required to produce the originals of all the documents required before they can be recruited.

A curriculum vitae (CV) will not be regarded as a supporting document.

Candidates may not refer to application forms or any other documents already submitted in connection with previous applications (2).

None of the documents submitted with the application will be returned.

Supporting documents demonstrating compliance with the general conditions

No document is required at this stage to show that candidates:

Supporting documents demonstrating compliance with the specific conditions and assessment of qualifications

Candidates must provide the selection committee with all the information and documents it needs to verify the accuracy of the information given on the application form.

Diplomas and/or certificates attesting successful completion of studies

Candidates must supply photocopies of the diplomas or certificates attesting that they have completed studies of the level required by the recruitment notice.

The selection committee will take account of the different education systems in the European Union Member States.

In the case of post-secondary diplomas, the most detailed possible information must be provided, particularly concerning the subjects studied and the length of time for which they were studied, so that the selection committee can assess the relevance of the diplomas to the duties to be performed.

In the case of diplomas relating to technical or vocational training, further training or specialisation courses, candidates must state whether the course was full time or part time or consisted of evening classes, as well as the subjects covered and the official duration of the courses.

Professional experience

Professional experience will be taken into account only if it has been obtained more recently than the required diploma or certificate. The supporting documents must prove the duration and level of the professional experience, and the nature of the duties performed must be described in as much detail as possible, so that the selection committee can assess the relevance of the experience to the duties to be performed.

All such periods of work experience must be covered by supporting documents, for example:

| — | statements from former employers and the current employer certifying that candidates have the professional experience required for admission to the selection procedure; |
| --- | --- |

—

statements from former employers and the current employer certifying that candidates have the professional experience required for admission to the selection procedure;

| — | if, for reasons of confidentiality, candidates cannot enclose the required evidence of professional experience, it is essential, as a substitute for that evidence, that they enclose photocopies of the employment contract or letter of recruitment and the first and the most recent salary statements; |
| --- | --- |

—

if, for reasons of confidentiality, candidates cannot enclose the required evidence of professional experience, it is essential, as a substitute for that evidence, that they enclose photocopies of the employment contract or letter of recruitment and the first and the most recent salary statements;

| — | where the work has not been performed on behalf of an employer (as a self-employed person, member of the liberal professions, etc.), invoices detailing the services provided or any other relevant official supporting document will be accepted as evidence. |
| --- | --- |

—

where the work has not been performed on behalf of an employer (as a self-employed person, member of the liberal professions, etc.), invoices detailing the services provided or any other relevant official supporting document will be accepted as evidence.

Knowledge of languages

Knowledge of the required languages must be confirmed by a diploma, a certificate or a declaration on the candidate’s honour, to be made on a separate sheet of paper, explaining how that knowledge was acquired.

If, at any stage in the procedure, it is established that the information given on the application form is incorrect or is not substantiated by supporting documents, or that all the conditions set out in the recruitment notice have not been met, candidates will be disqualified.

4.   COMMUNICATION

It is the responsibility of candidates to make sure that their application form (original or copy), completed and signed and accompanied by all the supporting documents required, is sent by registered post (3) by the deadline specified, as evidenced by the postmark.

Applications sent by ordinary post or through the internal mail will not be considered. The Talent Selection Unit will not accept applications which are submitted in person.

Acknowledgement of receipt of application files will be given only if an item dispatched by registered post is accompanied by an advice of delivery form.

It is the responsibility of candidates to send a letter or email (4) to the Talent Selection Unit if they do not receive an email concerning their application by the date given in the last paragraph of the recruitment notice.

Any correspondence from a candidate concerning an application must quote the name given in that application and the number of the selection procedure.

All correspondence forwarded by the European Parliament concerning a selection procedure, including invitations to tests, will be sent by email to the address given on the application form. Candidates are responsible for checking their email account regularly (at least twice a week) and for notifying the Talent Selection Unit of any change in their particulars.

All communications concerning the selection procedure should be sent by email to the following mailbox:

PE-226-S@ep.europa.eu

If candidates are no longer in a position to check their email account, it is their responsibility to inform the Talent Selection Unit immediately and to provide a new electronic address.

In order to safeguard the independence of the selection committee, candidates may not under any circumstances approach the selection committee themselves, either directly or indirectly; if they do so, they may be disqualified.

Any correspondence for consideration by the selection committee and any request for information or other correspondence concerning the procedure must be addressed solely to the Talent Selection Unit2, which will deal with all communications with candidates throughout the selection procedure until it has been completed.

5.   GENERAL INFORMATION

Equal opportunities

The European Parliament takes great care to avoid any form of discrimination.

It is an equal-opportunities employer and accepts applications without discrimination on any grounds such as sex, race, colour, ethnic or social origin, genetic features, language, religion or belief, political or any other opinion, membership of a national minority, property, birth, disability, age, sexual orientation, marital status or family situation.

Requests will be dealt with in accordance with the requirement for the work of the selection committee to be secret, as laid down in the Staff Regulations of Officials of the European Union (Annex III, Article 6), and in compliance with the rules on the protection of individuals with regard to the processing of personal data.

Protection of personal data

The European Parliament, as the body responsible for organising selection procedures, ensures that candidates’ personal data are processed in strict compliance with Regulation (EU) 2018/1725 of the European Parliament and of the Council (5), particularly as regards confidentiality and security.

Travel and subsistence expenses

A contribution will be made towards the travel and subsistence expenses of candidates invited to the tests. Candidates will be given details of the arrangements for this and the rates applicable in the letter inviting them to the tests.

The address given on the application form will be considered to be the place from which the candidate departs to attend the tests to which he or she has been invited. A change of address notified by a candidate after the European Parliament has sent the invitations to the tests will not be taken into consideration, unless Parliament considers that the circumstances invoked by the candidate amount to force majeure or are wholly exceptional.

Please note the broad measure of discretion enjoyed by selection committees, whose decisions are independently arrived at and cannot be changed by the appointing authority. The selection committee’s decisions are subject to review only in the event of a clear violation of the rules governing their work. In that event, a decision by a selection committee may be challenged directly before the General Court of the European Union without a complaint having first been lodged under Article 90(2) of the Staff Regulations of Officials of the European Union.

This option is available only in relation to decisions taken by the selection committee.

In the case of administrative decisions denying admission to the selection procedure on the grounds that the application does not meet the eligibility conditions set out in section B.1 of the notice, an appeal may be submitted to the General Court of the European Union only after a complaint has first been lodged as described above.

Appeals to the General Court of the European Union may be made only through a lawyer authorised to practise before a court of a Member State of the European Union or of the European Economic Area.

The time limits laid down in Articles 90 and 91 of the Staff Regulations of Officials of the European Union which apply to these two types of appeal start to run either from the date of notification of the original decision adversely affecting you or, only in the case of a request for a review, from the date on which you are notified of the selection committee’s original reply to the request.
