Wednesday 20 October 2010ANNEX

Statement from the High Representative on geographical balance in the EEAS

The High Representative attaches the highest importance to the recruitment on the broadest possible geographical basis from among the nationals of the Member States of the Union, as well as to ensuring an appropriate and meaningful presence of nationals from all Member States in the Service.
The EEAS should profit fully from the diversity and wealth of experience and expertise developed in the various Foreign Services in the Union.
The High Representative will use all the possibilities offered in the application of the EEAS appointment procedure to achieve these objectives. She will dedicate a section on the issue in her yearly report on the occupation of posts in the EEAS.

Statement from the High Representative on gender balance in the EEAS

The High Representative attaches the highest importance to the promotion of gender balance in the staffing of the EEAS.
A key to the promotion of gender balance is the encouragement of applications from women for posts in the EEAS and the removal of barriers in this respect. On the basis of the experience of the appointment procedure for the 2010 rotation of Heads of Delegation, the EEAS will examine how to take the often non-linear patterns of female application better into account in future appointment procedures and how to remove other possible obstacles. The High Representative will also identify best practices from national diplomatic services and apply them whenever possible to the EEAS.
The High Representative will make full use of all the possibilities offered by Article 1d(2) and (3) of the Staff Regulations in promoting the employment of women in the Service.
The High Representative will dedicate a section on the issue of gender balance in her yearly report on the occupation of posts in the EEAS.

Statement by the Commission with regard to Article 95(2) of the Staff Regulations

The Commission will duly motivate vis-à-vis the High Representative any negative opinion it might express concerning a person on the list of candidates.
