COM/2019/20033

We are

The Translation Centre for the Bodies of the European Union (‘Centre’) is an agency of the European Union (EU) based in Luxembourg. It was established in 1994 by Council Regulation (EC) No 2965/94 of 28 November 1994 setting up a Translation Centre for bodies of the European Union (1), Council Regulation (EC) No 2610/95 of 30 October 1995 amending Regulation (EC) No 2965/94 setting up a Translation Centre for bodies of the European Union (2) in 1995 and Council Regulation (EC) No 1645/2003 of 18 June 2003 amending Regulation (EC) No 2965/94 setting up a Translation Centre for the bodies of the European Union (3) in 2003 with the mission to provide translation services to the other decentralised EU agencies. It performs and charges these services on the basis of a cooperation agreement signed with each client. Today it translates for over 60 EU agencies, institutions and other bodies.

The Centre’s second mission is to actively participate in the cooperation between the EU’s translation services. This interinstitutional cooperation has the objective of rationalising working methods, of harmonising procedures and of making overall savings in the field of EU translation. In the coming years, the Centre will continue to implement its digital transformation strategy.

The Centre currently employs approximately 200 staff and has an annual budget of about EUR 47 million.

The Centre strives to deliver a high-quality service and to maintain a strong client relationship so as to effectively contribute to meeting the translation needs of its clients while implementing the EU’s strategic framework for multilingualism. Working with the Centre means having a single, reliable partner offering a multitude of language services covering all EU language combinations

Selection and appointment

The Director will be appointed by the Management Board of the Centre on the basis of a shortlist provided by the European Commission.

To establish this shortlist, the European Commission organises a selection in accordance with its selection and recruitment procedures (see the Document on Senior Officials Policy (7)).

As part of this selection procedure, the European Commission sets up a pre-selection panel. This panel analyses all applications, proceeds with a first eligibility verification and identifies candidates having the best profile in view of the selection criteria mentioned above, and who may be invited for an interview with the pre-selection panel.

Following these interviews, the pre-selection panel draws up its conclusions and proposes a list of candidates for further interviews with the European Commission’s Consultative Committee on Appointments (CCA). The CCA, taking into consideration the conclusions of the pre-selection panel, will decide on the candidates to be invited for an interview.

Candidates who are called for an interview with the CCA participate in a full-day management assessment centre run by external recruitment consultants. Taking account of the results of the interview and the report of the assessment centre, the CCA establishes a shortlist of candidates it considers suitable to exercise the function of Director of the Centre.

Candidates on the CCA shortlist will be interviewed by the Member(s) of the Commission responsible for the Directorate-General in charge of the relations with the Centre (8).

Following these interviews, the European Commission adopts a shortlist of the most suitable candidates, which will be communicated to the Management Board of the Centre. The latter may decide to interview the candidates before appointing the Director from among the candidates on the Commission shortlist. Inclusion on this shortlist does not guarantee appointment.

Candidates may be required to undergo further interviews and/or tests in addition to those indicated above. They could also be required to deliver a statement before the relevant committee(s) of the European Parliament.

For functional reasons and in order to complete the selection procedure as quickly as possible in the interest of the candidates as well as that of the agency, the selection procedure will mainly be carried out in English and/or French (9).

Equal opportunities

The European Commission and the Centre apply a policy of equal opportunities and non-discrimination in accordance with Article 1d of the Staff Regulations (10).

Conditions of employment

The salaries and conditions of employment are laid down in the Conditions of Employment of Other Servants (11).

The successful candidate will be engaged by the Centre as a Temporary Agent at grade AD14. He/she will be classified depending on the length of his/her previous professional experience in step 1 or step 2 within that grade.

She/he will be appointed for an initial mandate of 5 years, with a possible extension for a maximum period of 5 years according to the Regulation establishing the Centre, as applicable at the time of extension.

Applicants should note the requirement under the Conditions of Employment of Other Servants for all new staff to successfully complete a nine-month probationary period.

The place of employment is Luxembourg, where the Centre is based.

The post is available from 1 January 2019.

Independence and declaration of interests

Before taking up his/her duties, the Director will be required to make a declaration of his/her commitment to act independently in the public interest and to declare any interests, which might be considered prejudicial to his/her independence.
