1)   General conditions:

| — | Enjoy full rights as a citizen of a Member State of the EU |
| --- | --- |

2)   Specific conditions – languages:

You must have knowledge of
  at least 2 official EU languages
  ; one at minimum C1 level (thorough knowledge) and the other at minimum B2 level (satisfactory knowledge).

Please note that the minimum levels required above must apply to each linguistic ability (speaking, writing, reading and listening) requested in the application form. These abilities reflect those of the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (https://europass.cedefop.europa.eu/en/resources/european-language-levels-cefr).

In this notice of competition we will refer to the languages as:

| — | Language 1: language used for the computer-based Multiple-Choice Question tests |
| --- | --- |

—

Language 1: language used for the computer-based Multiple-Choice Question tests

| — | Language 2: language used for the selection based on qualifications (Talent Screener), for the assessment centre tests and for communication between EPSO and the candidates who have submitted a valid application. This must be different from language 1. |
| --- | --- |

—

Language 2: language used for the selection based on qualifications (Talent Screener), for the assessment centre tests and for communication between EPSO and the candidates who have submitted a valid application. This must be different from language 1.

Language 2 must be English, French, German or Italian

Successful candidates recruited for these particular fields are required to have a satisfactory knowledge (minimum B2 level) of English, French, German or Italian. While knowledge of additional languages may be an advantage, the Commission's departments concerned use a limited set of languages for their analytical work, internal communication and for drafting decisions, reports and other documents. These departments have extensive contacts with Member States, external stakeholders and the main institutions active in the fields concerned (e.g. ECB, EIB, EBA) based mainly in Belgium, Luxembourg, France and Germany.

More specifically, the activities carried out in the fields of economics, finance and competition imply frequent contacts with Member States (e.g. in the framework of the EU semester), with the financial services and capital market sector and with economic players including undertakings active in areas of activity such as banking, finance, insurance or manufacturing (e.g. for the application of EU competition law, including onsite inspections).

This choice is service oriented insofar as evidence shows that the above-mentioned languages are the most used languages in these fields. Some of the above-mentioned languages are particularly relevant in certain fields of competition and, consequently, only candidates having a satisfactory knowledge of English, French, German or Italian in addition to their language 1 would be immediately operational.

Please see ANNEX IV for examples of minimum qualifications

HOW WILL I BE SELECTED?

1)   Application process

When completing your application form, you will have to select a language 1 and a language 2. You will have to select your language 1 among any of the 24 official EU languages and your language 2 from among English, French, German and Italian. You will also be asked to confirm your eligibility for the chosen field and provide further information
  relevant to the chosen field of the competition
  (for example: diplomas, work experience and answers to field-related questions (Talent Screener)).

You can select any of the 24 official EU languages when completing your application form, except for the Talent Screener section which
  must be completed in your language 2
  for the following reasons: the Talent Screener is subject to a comparative assessment by the Selection Board, it is used as a reference document by the Board during the field-related interview at the assessment centre, and is used for recruitment purposes if a candidate is successful. It is therefore in the interest of the service and the candidates to complete the Talent Screener in Language 2.

Please note that your whole application form will be accessed by the Selection Board (during the competition) and by the HR services of the European Institutions (for recruitment in case you are a successful candidate) who work in a limited number of vehicular languages.

In case you succeed in the competition and your name is placed on the reserve list, you will be asked to provide a translation of the application form in language 2 (English, French, German or Italian) to the recruiting services if you have used another language for filling in the application form.

By validating your application form you declare on your honour that you meet all the conditions mentioned under the section ‘Am I eligible to apply?’ Once you have validated your application form, you will no longer be able to make any changes. It is your responsibility to ensure that you complete and validate your application
  within the deadline.

2)   Computer-based Multiple-Choice Question (MCQ) tests

If the number of candidates
  exceeds a certain threshold
  for each field, as defined by the director of EPSO acting as Appointing Authority, all candidates who validated their application form by the deadline will be invited to sit a series of computer-based MCQ tests in one of EPSO's accredited centres.

Unless instructed otherwise,
  you must book
  an appointment for the MCQ tests following the instructions received from EPSO. Typically you will be offered several dates on which you can sit the tests, in various locations. The booking and testing periods
  are limited.

If the number of candidates
  is below the threshold
  , these tests will be held at the assessment centre (point 5) instead.

The computer-based MCQ tests will be organised as follows:

| Tests | Language | Questions | Duration | Marking | Pass mark |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Verbal reasoning | Language 1 | 20 questions | 35 min | Out of 20 | 10/20 |
| Numerical reasoning | Language 1 | 10 questions | 20 min | Out of 10 | Numerical + abstract combined: 10/20 |
| Abstract reasoning | Language 1 | 10 questions | 10 min | Out of 10 |

These tests are eliminatory and do not count towards the other tests held at the assessment centre.

3)   Eligibility checks

The eligibility requirements laid down in the section ‘Am I eligible to apply?’ above will be checked against the data provided in candidates' online applications. EPSO will check whether you meet the general eligibility conditions while the selection board will check compliance with the specific eligibility conditions under the sections ‘Education and Training’, ‘Professional Experience’ and ‘Language Skills’ of the candidates’ online application.

There are 2 possible scenarios:

| — | If the computer-based MCQ tests
  are organised upfront
  , the files of the candidates will be checked for eligibility in descending order of the marks obtained in those tests until the number of eligible candidates reaches a certain threshold defined before the tests by the director of EPSO acting as Appointing Authority. The other files will not be checked. |

| --- | --- |

—

If the computer-based MCQ tests
  are not organised upfront
  , the files of all candidates who validated their application form by the deadline will be checked for eligibility.

4)   Selection based on qualifications (Talent Screener)

In order to allow the selection board to carry out an objective assessment of the comparative merits of all candidates in a structured way, all candidates in the same field of this competition must answer the same set of questions in the ‘Talent Screener’ section of the application form. The selection based on qualifications will be carried out,
  only for those candidates deemed eligible
  as described above in point 3, using
  solely
  the information provided in this Talent Screener section.
  You should therefore include all relevant information in your Talent Screener answers, even if already mentioned in other sections of your application form.
  The questions are based on the selection criteria included in this notice.

Please see ANNEX II for the list of criteria.

To carry out the selection based on qualifications, the selection board will first assign each
  selection criterion
  a weighting that reflects its relative importance (1 to 3) and each of the candidate's responses will be awarded between 0 and 4 points. The points are multiplied by the weighting for each criterion and added up to identify those candidates whose profiles best match the duties to be performed.

Only the candidates with the highest total marks at the selection based on qualifications will go through to the next stage.

5)   Assessment centre

A maximum of 3 times
  the number of successful candidates sought for each field will be invited to this phase. If you meet the eligibility requirements according to the data in your online application and if you scored one of the
  highest overall marks
  for the selection based on qualifications, you will be invited to attend an assessment centre for 1 or 2 days, most probably in
  Brussels
  , where you will take tests held in your
  language 2
  .

If the computer-based MCQ tests described in point 2 were
  not organised upfront
  , you will sit them at the assessment centre. These tests are eliminatory and the marks obtained will not be added to the marks of the other assessment centre tests in the calculation of your overall final score.

Unless instructed otherwise, you will have to bring a USB key containing scanned copies of your supporting documents to your assessment centre. EPSO will download your files during your assessment centre tests and return the USB key to you on the same day.

Eight general competencies, and the field-related competencies required for each field, will be tested at the assessment centre through
  four tests
  (general competency-based interview, field-related interview, group exercise, and case study) as described in the following matrices:

| Competency | Tests |

6)   Reserve list

After checking candidates' supporting documents and qualifications (Talent Screener), the selection board will draw up a
  reserve list
  for each field - until the number of successful candidates sought is reached - of those eligible candidates who have obtained all pass marks as well as the highest overall marks following the assessment centre. Names will be listed alphabetically.

The reserve lists and the competency passports, giving qualitative feedback from the Selection Board, of successful candidates will be made available to the EU institutions for recruitment procedures and future career development. Inclusion on a reserve list
  does not confer any right to or guarantee of
  recruitment.

2.   BY WHOM WILL I BE ASSESSED?

A Selection Board is appointed to compare candidates and select the best ones on the basis of their competencies, aptitudes and qualifications in the light of the requirements set out in this notice of competition. Its members also decide on the difficulty of the competition tests and approve their content on the basis of proposals made by EPSO.

To ensure the Selection Board’s independence, it is strictly forbidden for candidates or anyone outside the board to attempt to contact any of its members, except in the context of tests which require direct interaction between the candidates and the board.

Candidates who wish to state their case or assert their rights must do so in writing, addressing their correspondence intended for a Selection Board to EPSO, which will pass it on to the board. Any direct or indirect intervention by candidates that does not comply with these procedures is forbidden and may result in disqualification from the competition.

The existence of a family relationship or a hierarchical link between a candidate and a Selection Board member, in particular, gives rise to a conflict of interest. Selection Boards are asked to declare any such situations to EPSO immediately when they become aware of them. EPSO will evaluate each case individually and take the appropriate measures. The non-respect of the above mentioned rules could make Selection Board members liable to disciplinary action and result in disqualification from the competition for candidates (see section 4.4).

The names of the Selection Board members are published on the EPSO website (www.eu-careers.eu) before the beginning of the assessment centre/phase.

3.   COMMUNICATION

3.1.   Communication with EPSO

You should consult your EPSO account at least twice a week to keep track of your progress during the competition. If you are prevented from doing so because of a technical problem on EPSO's side, you must notify EPSO immediately and exclusively via the EPSO website (https://epso.europa.eu/help_en).

EPSO reserves the right not to supply information that is already clearly stated in this notice of competition, its annexes or on the EPSO website, including under ‘frequently asked questions’.

In all correspondence relating to an application, please mention your name as given in your EPSO account, your application number and the reference number of the selection procedure.

EPSO applies the principles of the code of good administrative behaviour https://ec.europa.eu/info/about-european-union/principles-and-values/ethics-and-integrity/code-conduct-eu-staff_en (as published in the Official Journal). Accordingly, EPSO reserves the right to cease any improper (i.e. repetitive, abusive and/or irrelevant) correspondence.

3.2.   Access to information

Candidates have specific rights of access to certain information concerning them individually, granted in the light of the obligation to state reasons, in order to allow for an appeal against rejection decisions.

This obligation to state reasons must be balanced with the confidentiality of the Selection Board proceedings, which ensures the boards' independence and the objectivity of the selection. Due to confidentiality, attitudes adopted by members of Selection Boards regarding the individual or comparative assessments of candidates cannot be disclosed.

These access rights are specific to candidates in an open competition and legislation on public access to documents may not confer on them rights broader than those specified in this section.

3.2.1.   Automatic disclosure

You will automatically receive the following information via your EPSO account after each stage of the selection process organised for a given competition:

| — | MCQ tests: your results and a grid with your answers and the correct answers by reference number/letter. Access to the text of the questions and answers is explicitly excluded; |

| --- | --- |

—

assessment centre/phase: if you are not disqualified, your competency passport showing your overall marks for each competency and the Selection Board’s comment providing quantitative and qualitative feedback on your performance at the assessment centre/phase.

As a rule, EPSO does not communicate to candidates any source texts or test assignments, as these are intended for re-use in future competitions. For certain tests, however, it may exceptionally publish the source texts or assignments on its website if:

| — | the tests have been completed; |
| --- | --- |

—

the tests have been completed;

| — | the results have been established and communicated to candidates; and |

—

the source texts/assignments are not intended for reuse in future competitions.

3.2.2.   Information on request

You may request an uncorrected copy of your answers in written tests where the content is not intended for reuse in future competitions. This explicitly excludes answers to e-tray exercises and case studies.

Your corrected answer papers and the details of the marking, in particular, are covered by the secrecy of Selection Board proceedings and will not be disclosed.

EPSO endeavours to make as much information available to candidates as possible, in accordance with the obligation to state reasons, the confidential nature of Selection Board proceedings and the rules on the protection of personal data. All requests for information will be evaluated in light of these obligations.

Any requests for information should be submitted via the EPSO website (https://epso.europa.eu/help_en) within 10 calendar days of the day your results were published in your EPSO account.

4.   COMPLAINTS AND ISSUES

4.1.   Technical and organisational issues

If, at any stage of the selection procedure, you encounter a serious technical or organisational problem, in order to allow us to investigate the issue and take corrective measures, please inform EPSO exclusively via the EPSO website (https://epso.europa.eu/help_en).

In all correspondence, please mention your name (as given in your EPSO account), your application number and the reference number of the selection procedure.

If the problem occurs at a test centre, please:

| — | alert the invigilators immediately so that a solution can be investigated at the centre itself. In any case, ask them to record your complaint in writing; and |
| --- | --- |

For problems occurring outside test centres (e.g. mainly concerning the test booking process), please follow the instructions in your EPSO account and on EPSO's website or contact EPSO immediately via the EPSO website (https://epso.europa.eu/help_en).

For issues with your application, you must contact EPSO immediately and in any case before the deadline for applications via the EPSO website (https://epso.europa.eu/help_en). Queries sent less than 5 working days before the deadline for applications might not be answered before the deadline.

4.2.   Internal review procedures

4.2.1.   Error in the computer-based multiple choice questions (MCQs)

The MCQ database is subject to permanent in-depth quality control by EPSO and Selection Boards.

If you believe that an error in one or more of the MCQs affected your ability to answer, you are entitled to ask for the question(s) to be reviewed by the Selection Board (under the ‘neutralisation’ procedure).

Under this procedure, the Selection Board may decide to cancel the question containing the error and to redistribute the points among the remaining questions of the test. Only those candidates who received that question will be affected by the recalculation. The marking of the tests remains as indicated in the relevant sections of this notice of competition.

Arrangements for complaints about the MCQ tests are as follows:

| — | procedure: please contact EPSO only via the EPSO website (https://epso.europa.eu/help_en); |
| --- | --- |

—

—

additional information: describe what the question was about (content) in order to identify the question(s) concerned, and explain the nature of the alleged error as clearly as possible.

Requests received after the deadline or that do not clearly describe the contested question(s) and alleged error will not be taken into account.

In particular, complaints merely pointing out alleged issues of translation, and which do not clearly specify the problem, will not be taken into account.

The same review procedure applies with regard to errors in the e-tray exercise.

4.2.2.   Requests for review

You can request a review of any decision taken by the Selection Board or EPSO that establishes your results and/or determines whether you can proceed to the next stage of the competition or are excluded.

Requests for review may be based on:

| — | a material irregularity in the competition process; and/or |
| --- | --- |

| — | non-compliance, by the Selection Board or EPSO, with the Staff Regulations, the notice of competition, its annexes and/or case law. |
| --- | --- |

—

non-compliance, by the Selection Board or EPSO, with the Staff Regulations, the notice of competition, its annexes and/or case law.

Please note that you are not allowed to challenge the validity of the Selection Board’s assessment of the quality of your performance in a test or the relevance of your qualifications and professional experience. This assessment is a value judgment made by the board and your disagreement with the board’s evaluation of your tests, experience and/or qualifications does not prove that it has made an error. Requests for review submitted on this basis will not lead to a positive outcome.

Arrangements for requests for review are as follows:

| — | procedure: please contact EPSO only via the EPSO website (https://epso.europa.eu/help_en); |
| --- | --- |

additional information: indicate clearly the decision you wish to contest and on what grounds.

Requests received after the deadline will not be taken into account.

You will receive an acknowledgment of receipt within 15 working days. The body which took the contested decision (either the Selection Board or EPSO) will analyse and decide on your request and you will receive a reasoned reply as soon as possible.

If the outcome is positive, you will be re-entered in the selection process at the stage at which you were excluded, regardless of how far the competition has progressed in the meantime.

4.3.   Other forms of contestation

4.3.1.   Administrative complaints

As a candidate in an open competition, you have the right to address an administrative complaint to the Director of EPSO acting as the appointing authority.

You may submit a complaint against a decision, or lack thereof, that directly and immediately affects your legal status as a candidate, only if the rules governing the selection procedure have clearly been infringed. The Director of EPSO cannot overturn a value judgment made by a Selection Board (see section 4.2.2).

Arrangements for administrative complaints are as follows:

| — | procedure: please contact EPSO only via the EPSO website (https://epso.europa.eu/help_en); |
| --- | --- |

4.3.2.   Judicial appeals

As a candidate in an open competition, you have the right to submit a judicial appeal to the General Court, under Article 270 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union and Article 91 of the Staff Regulations.

Note that appeals against decisions taken by EPSO rather than by the Selection Board will not be admissible before the General Court unless an administrative complaint under Article 90(2) of the Staff Regulations has first been made (see section 4.3.1). In particular, this is the case with the decisions concerning the general eligibility criteria, which are taken by EPSO not the Selection Board.

Arrangements for judicial appeals are as follows:

| — | procedure: please consult the website of the General Court (http://curia.europa.eu/jcms/). |
| --- | --- |

—

procedure: please consult the website of the General Court (http://curia.europa.eu/jcms/).

4.3.3.   European Ombudsman

All EU citizens and residents can make a complaint to the European Ombudsman.

Before you submit a complaint to the Ombudsman, you must first make the appropriate administrative approaches to the institutions and bodies concerned (see sections 4.1.-4.3.).

Making a complaint to the Ombudsman does not extend the deadlines for lodging administrative complaints or judicial appeals.

Arrangements for complaints to the Ombudsman are as follows:

| — | procedure: please consult the website of the European Ombudsman (http://www.ombudsman.europa.eu/). |
