Call for expression of interest

Scientific Committee on Occupational Exposure Limits (SCOEL)

Membership during its sixth term of office

(2014/C 373/12)

1.   Subject of the call

Following the adoption of Commission Decision 2014/113/EU (1), the Commission is launching a call for expression of interest, addressed to scientists who wish to be considered for membership of the Scientific Committee on Occupational Exposure Limits (SCOEL) during its sixth term of office.

SCOEL members will be appointed in their personal capacity, for a term of office of three years.

SCOEL's sixth term of office is expected to start at the beginning of 2015.

2.   SCOEL's mission

SCOEL was initially set up by Commission Decision 95/320/EC (2) to evaluate the health effects of occupational exposure to chemical agents. This Decision was recently repealed by Decision 2014/113/EU, which brings SCOEL's working methods more into line with the Commission's common rules on expert groups. To do this, the new Decision requires a new selection procedure for members, via an open call for expression of interest, to ensure transparency and equal opportunities for highly qualified and specialised scientific experts. It also emphasises the continued importance of the ethical principles of excellence, independence and impartiality as the basis for SCOEL's work.

In accordance with Article 3 of Council Directive 98/24/EC (3), SCOEL's mission is to provide the Commission with scientific recommendations and opinions on a range of priority chemicals. These recommendations and opinions are used by the Commission to develop EU policy on workers' health protection, in particular to set occupational exposure limits (OELs) for chemical substances at EU level, pursuant to Directive 98/24/EC and Directive 2004/37/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council (4). SCOEL evaluates the relationship between the effects of hazardous chemicals and the level of occupational exposure by carrying out an independent scientific assessment of the latest available scientific data.

SCOEL's recommendations must be scientifically reliable and valid, innovative, well-supported, understandable and clear, and produced through a balanced, unbiased and clearly-defined process.

SCOEL's main task is to recommend ‘health-based’ OELs by assessing the effects of airborne exposure. The recommended levels must be set to ensure that exposure, even when repeated on a regular basis throughout a working life, will not lead to adverse health effects for people who were exposed to the chemicals, and/or their progeny at any time (as far as can currently be predicted). For some adverse effects (in particular genotoxicity, carcinogenicity and respiratory sensitisation), it may not be possible, based on present knowledge, to identify a safe threshold of exposure. In these cases, SCOEL may calculate a series of exposure levels associated with estimated risks.

In addition to recommendations relating to airborne OELs, SCOEL is also asked to give recommendations for biological limits or biological guidance values, and to supplement its recommended OELs with further notations such as skin absorption, sensitising capacity and carcinogenicity, as appropriate.

Scientific advice on matters relating to protecting workers' health and safety must be organised in accordance with best practice principles of risk assessment and must be based on the ethical principles of excellence, independence, impartiality and transparency. These are set out in the Commission Communication on ‘The collection and use of expertise by the Commission: principles and guidelines. Improving the knowledge for better policies’ (5).

Information on SCOEL activities and, in particular, on the methodology for the derivation of OELs and the list of recommendations adopted can be found at:

http://ec.europa.eu/social/main.jsp?catId=148&langId=en&intPageId=684

3.   SCOEL members' role

SCOEL members must be highly qualified, specialised, and independent scientific experts in different areas related to chemical agents, including, in particular, chemistry, toxicology, epidemiology, occupational medicine and industrial hygiene. They must also have general skills relating to setting OELs.

SCOEL members are expected to attend SCOEL meetings at least four times a year and to actively contribute to scientific discussions, review documents, comment on them, and act as ‘chair’ and/or ‘rapporteurs’ (lead person for a specific file).

SCOEL members will be asked to perform the following tasks:

| — | contribute to the preparation, discussion and adoption of scientific recommendations on OELs, either as the ‘rapporteur’ or supporting the ‘rapporteur’; |
| --- | --- |

—

contribute to the preparation, discussion and adoption of scientific recommendations on OELs, either as the ‘rapporteur’ or supporting the ‘rapporteur’;

| — | contribute to scientific advice on matters related to chemical agents, as requested by the Commission; |

contribute to scientific advice on matters related to chemical agents, as requested by the Commission;

| — | provide advice on conducting and organising SCOEL's scientific activities. |
| --- | --- |

—

SCOEL's working documents are in English and meetings are also conducted in English. Meetings involve thorough preparatory work, including prior reading, critical assessment and drafting documents.

Applicants are required to express their commitment that, if appointed, they will actively participate in SCOEL's activities.

SCOEL members will be entitled to a special allowance, in accordance with Decision 2014/113/EU, of a maximum of EUR 450 for each full working day spent on activities relating to their participation in meetings. Travel and subsistence expenses incurred by participants in carrying out SCOEL activities will be reimbursed by the Commission in accordance with the applicable provisions (6).

4.   SCOEL composition

As stated in Article 3 of Decision 2014/113/EU, SCOEL will be composed of a maximum of 21 individual experts, selected from a list of suitable candidates drawn up after the evaluation of the eligible applications submitted to this call for expression of interest.

5.   Selection procedure

| --- | --- |

ii.

The Selection Board will be composed of representatives from the relevant Commission services.

Each expression of interest will be assessed by at least two members of the Selection Board against the eligibility and selection criteria. During the selection process, the Commission will also consider the independence of the experts (in particular, any potential conflicts of interest) and will ensure a balanced geographical and gender distribution of SCOEL members.

SCOEL members undertake to act independently of any external influence. They must not delegate their responsibilities to any other person.

They must make a declaration of commitment to act in the public interest and declare the absence or existence of any direct or indirect interests which might be considered prejudicial to their independence.

The Commission services will take note of and decide on the relevance of any interests declared.

2.   Transparency

SCOEL must ensure that its recommendations and opinions clearly set out the reasoning used in its decision-making process, as outlined in its methodology.

3.   Confidentiality

SCOEL members must not divulge information they learn as a result of their work for SCOEL, thematic workshops, working groups or other activities relating to Decision 2014/113/EU. This requirement is in addition to those set out in Article 339 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union and Article 12 of Decision 2014/113/EU.

SCOEL members must sign a declaration of confidentiality at the beginning of each term of office.

8.   Equal opportunities

The Commission takes great care to apply the principles of equal treatment in its procedures.
