The Office for Official Publications of the European Communities in Luxembourg is currently seeking candidates for the post of:

The Publications Office publishes in all the official languages of the European Union and on various media (paper, online, CD-ROM, etc.). It works under the supervision of a Management Board composed of the secretaries-general of the institutions who are its stakeholders. It underwent a major reorganisation in 2001.

NOTICE OF VACANCY FOR THE POST OF EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR OF THE GALILEO SUPERVISORY AUTHORITY

(2004/C 237 Α/03)

Applications are invited for the post of Executive Director of the Galileo Supervisory Authority set up by Council Regulation (EC) No 1321/2004 of 12 July 2004 on the establishment of structures for the management of the European satellite radio-navigation programmes (1).

The Authority will be located temporarily in Brussels until such time as the European Council decides where its headquarters will be definitively located.

The Galileo Supervisory Authority

The European Council and the Council of Transport Ministers of the European Union have on several occasions underlined the need for the private sector to be involved in the deployment phase (2006-2008) and subsequent operating phase of the European satellite radionavigation programme (further details available at http://europa.eu.int/comm/dgs/energy_transport/galileo), emphasising that such involvement should result from an invitation to tender designed to select a private operator and establish the terms for that operator's involvement in the two phases.

The chosen formula is that of a concession contract between a public authority and a private consortium, the latter to be selected under the terms of the abovementioned invitation to tender and, in return for complying with specifications, given responsibility for the deployment and operation of the system.

The purpose of the abovementioned Council Regulation is to set up that public authority.

A structure needs to be created which is external to the Commission, particularly so as to allow the participation of member countries of the European Space Agency which are not members of the European Union (Norway and Switzerland) but which have helped fund the previous phases through their contribution to the European Space Agency's GalileoSat programme.

This Supervisory Authority will be the owner of the entire European satellite radionavigation system, the latter having been financed exclusively from public funds (European Union and European Space Agency).

The Supervisory Authority's tasks include the following (see also Article 2 of the abovementioned Regulation):

| — | it will conclude the concession contract with the consortium selected upon completion of Galileo's development phase and, as the licensing authority, will ensure that the consortium meets its obligations under the contract, |

Recruitment will be at grade AD 14-15.
