Candidates should be aware that the main purpose of this competition is to guarantee the integration into the European Union public service of a minimum workforce in anticipation of the accession of Croatia. It is an essential guarantee that the principle of administrative continuity recognised by the jurisdictions of the Union and the efficient operation of the public service may be upheld. The intention is to commence preparatory work in view of the accession without prejudice to the ratification of the accession treaty and the regulations necessary for its effective implementation. The validity of the reserve list is therefore subject to the condition of ratification of the accession treaty by all Member States. Should the accession treaty not be ratified, or the regulations not enter into force, candidates are informed that this selection procedure may be terminated at any moment and, should the selection procedure already be completed, candidates placed on the reserve list would not derive any rights from this circumstance.

You may apply for only one competition. You must make your choice when you apply online and you will not be able to change it after you have confirmed and validated your online application form.

However, if you do not meet the conditions for admission to the AD 12 competition but do meet those for the AD 9 competition, the selection board may, with your consent, reassign your application to the AD 9 competition. This reassignment will be made on admission.

Any reassignment will take place only after it has been established that you meet the conditions for admission based on the information given in your online application form.

Parliament and the Council reserve the right to offer posts other than head of unit to candidates who pass the AD 9 competition.

This competition is intended for candidates who have a perfect command, both written and spoken, of the language of the competition (mother tongue or equivalent knowledge) (2). If you do not have such a command, we would strongly advise that you do not apply.

Candidates should be aware that the main purpose of this competition is to guarantee the integration into the European Union public service of a minimum workforce in anticipation of the accession of Croatia. It is an essential guarantee that the principle of administrative continuity recognised by the jurisdictions of the Union and the efficient operation of the public service may be upheld. The intention is to commence preparatory work in view of the accession without prejudice to the ratification of the accession treaty and the regulations necessary for its effective implementation. The validity of the reserve list is therefore subject to the condition of ratification of the accession treaty by all Member States. Should the accession treaty not be ratified, or the regulations not enter into force, candidates are informed that this selection procedure may be terminated at any moment and, should the selection procedure already be completed, candidates placed on the reserve list would not derive any rights from this circumstance.

The online applications of the candidates who obtain the highest number of points will then go through to a second selection stage,

| — | the number of files to be examined during the second stage will be approximately eighteen times the number of successful candidates. The selection board will examine candidates' answers and will award 0 to 4 points for each answer.

—

the number of files to be examined during the second stage will be approximately eighteen times the number of successful candidates. The selection board will examine candidates' answers and will award 0 to 4 points for each answer. The points are then multiplied by the weighting for each question and added together to give an overall score.

The selection board will then draw up a list of candidates in the order of the overall scores awarded. The number of candidates invited to take the written tests will not exceed six times the number of successful candidates indicated in the competition notice (3). This number will be published on EPSO's website (www.eu-careers.eu).

2.   Verification of information given by candidates

Following the assessment centre session, and in the light of the results, the information given by candidates in their online applications will be verified against the general conditions by EPSO and against the specific conditions by the selection board. In assessing qualifications, supporting documents will be taken into account only to confirm the information already given under the ‘Talent Screener’ tab. If verification shows that the information given is not borne out by the appropriate supporting documents, candidates will be disqualified (4).

Applications will be verified for candidates with the highest aggregate marks, and at least pass marks, in all written and oral tests in the assessment centre session, in descending order. Verification will continue until the number of candidates who can be placed on the reserve list and who actually fulfil all the conditions for admission reaches the threshold. The files of candidates below the threshold will not be examined.

6.3,

of the guide to open competitions published in Official Journal C 270 A of 7 September 2012 do not apply to this competition.

A.   Point 5.3 ‘Assessment Centre’ is replaced by the following:

5.3   Competition tests

5.3.1   Written tests:

5.3.1.1   Procedure

The written tests will be held simultaneously at one or more centres in the European Union. You will be informed of the centres available via your EPSO account.

The date scheduled by EPSO for the written tests cannot be changed at your request. You will be notified of the date when you receive your invitation to the tests via your EPSO account.

Examples of previous written tests can be consulted on the EPSO website.

5.3.1.2   Correction of the written tests

Tests are marked anonymously, without reference to candidates' names. Copies of the written tests are sent by EPSO to markers with a secret number, so that candidates' identity is not revealed.

Tests are normally marked by two markers to reduce the impact of subjective assessments. Markers receive a clean copy of the test and evaluate it using the same objective criteria for all candidates, which are laid down in advance by the selection board. The markers are bound to observe strict confidentiality. The selection board takes note of all the copies and the markers' evaluations, and after deliberation determines the final marks, still without knowing the identity of the candidates. It fills in an evaluation sheet for each candidate.

The selection board then sends the evaluation sheets to EPSO, which matches each secret number with the candidate's identity.

5.3.2   Oral test

In cases of force majeure, and by way of an exception, it may be possible to consider a request to change the date for an oral test on duly substantiated grounds. However, any decision to postpone a test will bear in mind the need to ensure the uniform assessment of candidates' performance in the oral test and to guarantee the smooth running of the competition without jeopardising the interests of the service.

B.   Point 5.4 ‘Reserve lists’ is replaced by the following:

Following the competition procedure, the selection board draws up a reserve list containing the names of the successful candidates. The list is then sent to the institutions, since responsibility for recruitment rests solely with them.

The reserve list and its expiry date will be published in the Official Journal of the European Union and on the EPSO website (1). The validity of the list may be extended in some cases. The decision extending the validity of the list will be published only on the EPSO website.

C.   Point 6.2 is replaced by the following:

6.2   Written and oral tests

Candidates must send requests for information to EPSO, using the contact page on EPSO's website, within 10 calendar days of being notified of their results in the competition.

Requests will be dealt with taking account of the confidential nature of selection board proceedings under the Staff Regulations (Annex III, Article 6) and in compliance with the rules on the protection of individuals with regard to the processing of personal data.

6.2.1   Written tests

If you do not pass the written tests and/or if you are not one of the candidates invited to the oral test, you can request a copy of your original tests and a copy of the individual evaluation sheet drawn up by the selection board. If you abandon a test, your written tests will not be marked.

6.2.2   Oral test

After the selection board has drawn up the reserve list:

| — | If you are placed on the reserve list, you will be informed that you are a successful candidate and you can, on request, be given the marks you obtained in the various tests. |
| --- | --- |

—

If you are placed on the reserve list, you will be informed that you are a successful candidate and you can, on request, be given the marks you obtained in the various tests.

You can also obtain, subject to the same conditions, a copy of the individual evaluation sheet drawn up by the selection board for your oral test. |
| --- | --- |

—

If you are not on the reserve list, you will automatically be informed of your marks in the various tests. You can also obtain a copy of your written tests as specified in point 6.2.1.
