1.  INTRODUCTION 

This report is presented pursuant to Article 79(3) of the Conditions of Employment of Other Servants 
of the European Union (CEOS), which provides that ‘the Commission shall provide a yearly report 
on the use of contract staff including numbers of staff, level and type of posts, geographical balance 
and budgetary resources per function group’. It includes the information related to year 2019, with 
data taken at 31 December 2019.  

This  report  includes  data  for  57  different  entities:  a)  the  institutions  as  defined  in  article  13  of  the 
Treaty on the European Union, except for the European Central Bank; b) the bodies assimilated to 
the institutions by article 1b of the Staff Regulations and c) the bodies to whom the Staff Regulations 
apply  under  the  Union  acts  establishing  them,  as  defined  in  Article  1a,  paragraph  2,  of  the  Staff 
Regulations1. These bodies include executive and decentralised Agencies, Joint Undertakings (JU)2 
and the Europen Institute of Innovation and Technology (EIT).  

Data  concerning  the  Commission  include  all  contract  staff,  i.e.  staff  financed  upon  administrative, 
operational  and  research  budget  lines,  as  well  as  upon  revenue  stemming  from  Service  Level 
Agreements with the other institutions and bodies.3 

The  category  of  contract  staff  was  created  in  2004  as  part  of  the  reform  of  the  Staff  Regulations. 
Since then, contract staff have made a useful contribution to the work of the institutions by carrying 
out  administrative  support  activities  at  a  lower  cost  and  by  bringing  in  skills  not  always  readily 
available within the institutions. 

Articles 3a and 3b of the CEOS define the role of contract staff and functions that they may perform.  

Contract staff 3a can be engaged, on either a part time or full-time basis, in a post not included in the 
establishment plan:  

 

 

for the institutions' services: to carry out exclusively manual or administrative support tasks 
in function group I,  

for the EU Representations and Delegations, the Agencies and other entities: to perform the 
functions specified in Article 80(2) of the CEOS in function groups I, II, III and IV.  

1  It  is  to  be  noted  that  the  Staff  Regulations  do  not  apply  to  the  European  Central  Bank  and  the  European  Investment 
Bank  (including  the  European  Investment  Fund),  which  have  adopted  specific  rules  for  their  staff  pursuant  to  Article 
36(1) of Protocol n° 4 and Article 11(7) of Protocol n°5 annexed to the Treaties. Also, the Single Resolution Board is not 
mentioned in this report as it does not employ contract agents. They are therefore out of the scope of this report.  
2 See Article 187 TFEU. 
3  It  is  to  be  noted  that  the  budgetary  data  (sent  each  year  with  the  draft  budget  to  the  Budgetary  Authority  -  Working 
Document, parts II and III) show contract staff numbers at the time when the draft budget is presented (including contract 
staff recruited using assigned revenue), i.e.: a statement of the position at 1 April of year N-1 (where N is the year of the 
draft  budget),  budgetary  implementation  in  year  N-2  and  requests  for  appropriations  with  estimates  of  full-time 
equivalents (FTE) for year N. This is why some differences appear in the numbers for contract staff, depending on the 
data  source.  Since  several  budget  lines  include  appropriations  for  external  personnel  without  establishing  a  distinction 
between  the  different  categories  of  that  personnel,  the  budget  figures  convey  the  best  possible  estimates  based  on  the 
likely average costs and the repartition between categories.

This staff benefit from a contract that can be converted into a contract of indefinite duration, after a 
first renewal for a definite duration. 

Contract staff 3b are employed: 

 

 

to  perform  tasks  other  than  those  referred  to  in  article  3a(1)(a)  of  the  CEOS  in  a  post  not 
included in the establishment plan, or 

to replace an official or temporary staff member who is temporarily unable to perform his or 
her duties.  

This staff are engaged for short periods, from a minimum of 3 months to a maximum of 6 years. 

Article  80  of  the  CEOS  establishes  a  link  between  each  function  group  (FG)  and  the  duties  that 
contract staff may perform:

3.3 Breakdown by nationality, gender and FG of Commission’s contract staff. 

It is worth noting that, as for officials and temporary agents4, engagement of contract staff is carried 
out on the basis of the required profile and the applicants' abilities and language knowledge, without 
any definition of national quotas.  

In  2019, all Member States were represented in  all function groups,  with  the exception of Austria, 
which was not represented in FGI. The nationalities most represented among contract staff were - in 
descending order - Italian, Belgian, French, Spanish and Greek, followed by Romanian and Polish. 
The share of the first four nationalities altogether has been stable since 2005 (they account for around 
60%). 

The breakdown by nationality is influenced by a combination of factors, in particular geographical 
proximity  to  the  location  of  the  institution’s  headquarters  (for  the  Commission,  mainly  Brussels, 
Luxembourg  and  Ispra),  salary  levels  and  the  duration  of  the  proposed  contracts.  Candidates  are

more likely to accept a post with a fixed-term contract if they are resident at or near the site of the 
institution offering them a job, also considering that the duration of the first contract is as a general 
rule of just one year. As reported in the tables below, this is in particular true for contract staff in FGI 
and FGII, while the geographical balance is slightly better for contract staff in FGIII and FGIV.
