VACANCY NOTICE ECA/2014/47

Head of Unit — Legal Service

(Function group AD, grade 9-14)

Presidency

(2014/C 283 A/01)

WHO WE ARE

The European Court of Auditors is the European Union (EU) institution established by the Treaty to audit EU finances. As the external auditor of the EU, it helps to improve EU financial management and acts as an independent guardian of the financial interests of EU citizens.

During its audits, the Court checks that EU funds have been received and used. It looks at whether or not financial operations have been correctly recorded and submitted, implemented with due legality and regularity, and managed economically, efficiently and effectively. The Court publicises the results of its audits in clear, relevant and objective reports. It also draws up opinions on matters pertaining to financial management.

The Court works towards increasing accountability, encourages transparency and assists the European Parliament and Council in supervising the implementation of the EU budget, particularly during the discharge procedure. The Court is committed to working efficiently at the cutting edge of audit methodology and public-sector administration.

The Court is based in Luxembourg.

The Legal Service provides legal advice and support to the Court in all of its activities. This includes advising on the Court’s own powers and prerogatives, on legal questions arising from its audit activities and on staff and administrative issues. The Legal Service represents the institution in any litigation, in particular before the courts of the European Union.

WHAT WE ARE OFFERING

The Court has decided to launch a recruitment procedure for a post of Head of Unit in the Legal Service (grade AD 9-AD 14) within the Presidency, in accordance with Article 29(2) of the Staff Regulations of Officials of the European Union (subsequently referred to as the ‘Staff Regulations’). This procedure, which aims to increase the number of potential candidates for selection by the Appointing Authority, will take place in parallel with the internal and interinstitutional recruitment procedures.

Under the conditions laid down in the Staff Regulations, certain benefits may be added to the basic salary, which is subject to EU tax and exempt from national tax.

Under the authority of the President of the Court, the Head of the Legal Service will direct and manage the unit, act as internal legal adviser and defend the Court’s interests in disputes, carry out legal tasks such as drafting legal opinions on EU law, assisting the Members and Audit Chambers with legal matters, acting as internal legal adviser on institutional, administrative and staff issues, representing the Court of Auditors in courts of law, and, in the context of internal cooperation, assisting administrative departments with contracts and procurement.
