For temporary staff of the European Union, retirement age is defined as being the end of the month in which the person reaches the age of 65.

Independence and declaration of interests

The Executive Director will be required to make a declaration of commitment to act independently in the public interest and to make a declaration in relation to interests which might be considered prejudicial to his/her independence. Candidates must confirm their willingness to do so in their application.

Selection and appointment

The Executive Director will be appointed by the Management Board of EASA on a proposal from the Commission.

The Commission will set up a pre-selection panel, in which a representative of the Management Board of EASA participates as observer. This panel will analyse all applications and identify a number of candidates who have the best profile in view of the selection criteria mentioned above. These candidates will be invited for an interview with the pre-selection panel.

Following the interviews, the pre-selection panel will draw up its conclusions and propose a list of candidates for further interviews with the Commission's Consultative Committee on Appointments (CCA).

Candidates called for an interview with the CCA participate in a full-day assessment centre run by external human resources experts. On the basis of the interview and the results of the assessment centre report, the CCA establishes a shortlist of candidates it considers suitable to exercise the function of Executive Director. This shortlist is submitted to the relevant Member of the Commission who will interview these candidates.

The Commission then adopts a shortlist of the most suitable candidates, which will be communicated to the Management Board of EASA. The latter may interview the shortlisted candidates. It will subsequently nominate the Executive Director. Inclusion on the Commission's shortlist does not guarantee appointment.

Candidates may be required to undergo further interviews and/or tests in addition to those indicated above.

Before appointment, the nominated candidate may be invited to make a statement on his/her vision with regard to the Agency before the European Parliament and to answer questions put by Members of the European Parliament.

Equal opportunities

EASA applies a policy of equal opportunities and non-discrimination in accordance with Article 1d of the Staff Regulations (3).

Conditions of employment

The Executive Director will be appointed at grade AD 14, pursuant to Articles 2a and 10 of the Conditions of Employment of Other Servants of the European Union (3), for a 5-year period. Under the EASA Regulation, his/her mandate may be renewed once.

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

The place of employment is Cologne, where the Agency is based.

Application procedure

Before submitting your application, you should carefully check whether you meet all the eligibility criteria (‘Candidates must’), particularly concerning the types of diploma and professional experience required. Failure to meet any of the eligibility requirements means an automatic exclusion from the selection procedure.

If you want to apply, you must register via the internet by going to the website:

https://ec.europa.eu/dgs/human-resources/seniormanagementvacancies/CV_Encadext

and following the instructions there concerning the various stages of the procedure.

It is your responsibility to complete your online registration in time (4). We strongly advise not to wait until the last few days before applying, since heavy internet traffic or a fault with your internet connection could lead to the online registration being terminated before you complete it, thereby obliging you to repeat the whole process. Once the deadline for registration has passed, you will no longer be able to introduce any data. As a general rule, late registrations via normal e-mail are not accepted.

You must have a valid e-mail address. This will be used to identify your registration and to keep you informed of the progress of the selection procedure. Therefore, please, inform the Commission of any change in your e-mail address.

To complete your application, you will need to upload a CV in Word or PDF format and to fill out, online, a letter of motivation (maximum 8 000 characters). Both the CV and letter must be written in English, French or German.

Once you have finished your online registration, you will see on-screen a registration number that you must write down and remember — this will be your reference number in all matters concerning your application. When you receive this number, the registration process is finished — it is a confirmation that we have registered the data you entered. If you do not receive a number, your application has not been registered!

Please note that it is not possible to monitor the progress of your application online. You will be contacted directly by the Commission regarding the status of your application.

The selection process, including correspondence with selection panels during this selection procedure, will be carried out in English only (5).

If you have a disability that prevents you from registering online, you may submit your application (CV and letter of motivation) on paper by registered mail
   (6)
  , postmarked no later than the closing date for registration. All subsequent communication between the Commission and you will be by post. In this case, you must enclose with your application a certificate attesting your disability, issued by a recognised body. You should also set out on a separate sheet of paper any special arrangements you think are needed to make it easier for you to take part in the selection.

If you require more information and/or encounter technical problems, please send an e-mail to HR-A2-MANAGEMENT-ONLINE@ec.europa.eu

Closing date

The closing date for registration is 2 October 2012. Online registration will not be possible after 12 noon Brussels time.

Protection of personal data

The Commission (during the preparatory phase) and later EASA will ensure that candidates' personal data are processed as required by Regulation (EC) No 45/2001 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 18 December 2000 on the protection of individuals with regard to the processing of personal data by the Community institutions and bodies and on the free movement of such data (7).
