1.  EXECUTIVE SUMMARY  

The  report  on  the  use  of  contract  staff  within  the  European  Union  institutions  and  agencies  in  the 
years 2023 and 2024 is presented in accordance with Article 79(3) of the Conditions of Employment 
of Other Servants  of the European Union (CEOS). The report comprises an analysis based on data 
taken  as  of 31  December  2023  and  31  December  2024,  covering 63 and 64  entities respectively, 
including the European Commission, other Union institutions, and agencies. The increased coverage 
in  2024  reflects  the  addition  of  the  Anti-Money  Laundering  and  Countering  the  Financing  of 
Terrorism Authority as a new decentralised EU agency. 

The category of contract staff, as defined under Articles 3a and 3b of the CEOS, was created in 2004 
and plays a vital role across EU institutions, performing support tasks. 

In both years, the total number of contract staff showed stable and moderate growth. The number of 
contract agents (CAs) rose by 3.2% in 2023, followed by an increase of 3.3% in 2024 compared to 
the previous year. 

The European Commission recorded a 2.3% increase in contract staff in 2023 and a further 4.4% rise 
in  2024.  The majority  of  Commission  contract  staff  (48.3%  in  2023  and  49.4%  in  2024) were 
employed  to  carry  out  administrative,  advisory,  linguistic  and  equivalent  technical  tasks  (FG  IV). 
Around  60%  of  the  Commission's  contract  staff  are  female,  particularly  in  administrative  and 
executive tasks, while males lead in manual tasks.    
In  2023  Joint  Action  Plans  were  agreed  between  the  Commission  and  15  Member  States1  whose 
nationals  were  considered  to  be  under-represented.  The  number  and  the  share  of  Commission 
contract  agents  from  these  Member  States  increased  between  2023  and  2024  across  all  function 
groups. 

The  number  of  contract  agents  in other  EU  institutions increased  by 3.1%  in  2023,  continuing  the 
upward trend of previous years. However, in 2024, a slight decrease of 1.2% was recorded, marking 
the  first  decline  in  this  group  since  2020.  The  European  Parliament  employs  most  contract  agents 
among the EU institutions, accounting for approximately 63% of the total of CAs in both years. 

EU  agencies continued  to  show the  most  dynamic  growth in  the  use  of  contract  staff.  The  total 
number  increased  by 4.5%  in  2023,  with  a  similar  increase  of 4.5%  in  2024.  The distribution  of 
contract  agents  across  agency  types remained  relatively  stable:  in  2023, 54.7% were  employed 
in decentralised  agencies, 40.4% in executive  agencies,  and 4.9% in JUs.  In  2024,  this  distribution 
shifted slightly to 55.0% in decentralised agencies, 40.3% in executive agencies, and 4.7% in JUs.  

1 These 15 Member States are: AT, CZ, CY, DK, EE, FI, DE, IE, LU, MT, NL, PL, PT, SK, and SE.

2.  INTRODUCTION 

a)  Scope of the report 

This report is presented pursuant to Article 79(3) of the CEOS, which sets out 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’. Unless otherwise indicated, 
the report includes the information as at 31 December 2023 and as at 31 December 2024.  

This report covers data for 63 entities in 2023 and 64 entities in 2024, following the establishment of 
the Anti-Money Laundering and Countering the Financing of Terrorism Authority (AMLA) as a new 
decentralised  EU  agency  in  2024.  These  entities,  to  which  the  Staff  Regulations  apply,  are 
subdivided between:  

a)  The European Commission; 
b)  the other Union’s institutions as defined in Article 13 of the Treaty on the European Union, 
except for the European Central Bank2, and the bodies treated as institutions for the purpose 
of the Staff Regulations, by virtue of Article 1b thereof3;  

c)  the  agencies,  i.e.  the  bodies  to  whom  the  Staff  Regulations  apply  under  the  Union  acts 
establishing them, as provided for by Article 1a, paragraph 2, of the Staff Regulations4. These 
bodies include decentralised agencies, Joint Undertakings (JUs)5 and executive agencies. 

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.6 

b)  Contract staff 

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

2  “The  Union's  institutions  shall  be:  the  European  Parliament,  the  European  Council,  the  Council,  the  European 
Commission  (hereinafter  referred  to  as  ‘the  Commission’),  the  Court  of  Justice  of  the  European  Union,  the  European 
Central Bank, the Court of Auditors.” 
3 “Save as otherwise provided in these Staff Regulations, (a) the European External Action Service (hereinafter referred 
to as the EEAS), (b) the European Economic and Social Committee, (c) the Committee of the Regions, (d) the European 
Ombudsman,  and  (e)  the  European  Data  Protection  Supervisor  shall,  for  the  purposes  of  these  Staff  Regulations,  be 
treated as institutions of the Union.” 
4 “This definition in paragraph 1 shall also apply to persons appointed by Union bodies to whom these Staff Regulations 
apply  under  the  Union  acts  establishing  them  (hereinafter  ‘agencies’).  Any  references  to  ‘institutions’  in  these  Staff 
Regulations shall apply to agencies, save as otherwise provided in these Staff Regulations.” 
5 See Article 187 TFEU. 
6  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 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  of 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.

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

3a contract staff are staff not assigned to a post included in the establishment plan of the instutition 
concerned and are engaged for the performance of full-time or part-time duties: 

• 

• 

in an institution: to carry out exclusively manual or administrative support tasks in function 
group I,  
in  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.  
3a contract staff benefit from a contract that can evolve into a contract of indefinite duration, after a 
first renewal for a definite duration. 

3b contract staff (or ‘auxiliary’ contract staff) are engaged in an institution: 

• 

• 

to perform tasks other than those referred to in  Article 3a(1)(a) of the CEOS without being 
assigned to a post included in the establishment plan of the institution concerned, or 
to replace an official or temporary staff member who is temporarily unable to perform his or 
her duties.  

3b Contract staff are engaged for a limited duration, from a minimum of 3 months to a maximum of 
6 years. 

Article 80 of the CEOS  establishes  the  correspondance between  each function group (FG) and the 
type of duties to be performed: 

Function 
group 

Grade 

Tasks 

IV 

13 to 18 

Administrative, advisory, linguistic and equivalent technical tasks, 
performed under the supervision of officials or temporary staff. 

III

Executive tasks, drafting, accountancy and other equivalent technical 
tasks, performed under the supervision of officials or temporary staff.

Clerical and secretarial tasks, office management and other equivalent 
tasks, performed under the supervision of officials or temporary staff. 

I 

1 to 3 

Manual and administrative support service tasks, performed under the 
supervision of officials or temporary staff. 

c)  Source of data 

The present report is built with a different data source compared to the previous reports, including 
the last one7. Previous reports relied on  administrative data reported by  the EU  institutions,  bodies 
and  agencies.  This  report  relies  on  data  extracted  from  the  Payroll  application  (NAP),  used  by  the 
Paymaster’s  Office  (PMO)  to  process  all  payments  for  staff  across  EU  institutions,  bodies,  and 

7 Report from the Commission on the use of contract staff in 2022,  COM(2024) 431 final of 1.10.2024 

5 

 
 
 
 
agencies.  As  NAP  database  is  a  single  source,  which  is  continuously  kept  up-to-date,  it  provides 
figures in  real time. This allows the report to be adopted the year after the reporting period, rather 
than two years later, ensuring a more timely reflection of the contract staff as of 31 December each 
year. 

All data have been recalculated for the entire series since 2004. Accordingly, all tables presented in 
this report are based on the new data source.  

The  transition  from  the  previous  data  source  to  the  NAP  database  does  not  result  in  significant 
differences, as both sources provide very similar data. Table 0 shows the impact of the switch from 
the old data source to the new one.

The Commission sees this change as a positive step towards more up-to-date and precise reporting, 
in line with the expectations of Member States and institutional stakeholders. 

3.  CONTRACT STAFF IN INSTITUTIONS AND AGENCIES 

The aggregate number of contract staff in all Institutions, bodies and agencies continued to grow in 
2023 and 2024, with a stable increase in overall figures. In 2023, the total number of contract staff 
rose by 3.2% compared to 2022, followed by an increase of 3.3% in 2024.  

Within the Commission, the number of  contract  staff grew by 2.3% in 2023 (175 additional CAs), 
followed  by  an  increase  of  4.4%  in  2024  (341  additional  CAs).  Despite  these  increases,  the 
Commission maintains its share of contract staff at a stable level of around 45% of the total number 
of contract staff in both 2023 and 2024. 

In other institutions, an increase of 3.1% was recorded in 2023 (105 additional CAs) followed by a 
slight decrease of 1.2% in 2024 (43 fewer CAs), which has slightly reduced their contribution to the 
overall growth trend. 

Agencies  registered  the  highest  growth,  with  an  increase  of  4.5%  in  2023  (260  additional  CAs), 
followed  by  another  4.5%  in  2024  (268  additional  CAs).  The  salaries  of  contract  staff  in  agencies 
remain financed through the agencies’ operational budgets, while their pensions are covered by the 
institutions’ overall administrative budget (Heading VII).

b)  Breakdown by function group of Commission contract staff 

In 2023, the majority of contract staff at the European Commission (48.3%) were employed to carry 
out  administrative,  advisory,  linguistic,  and  equivalent  technical  tasks  (FG  IV).  This  represents  a 
2.2% increase in the proportion of FG IV contract agents compared to 2022. The trend continued in 
2024, with FG IV staff making up 49.4% of the total, a further increase of 1.1% from 2023, leading 
to  a  total  increase  of  3.4%  from  2022.  This  data  confirms  a  continued  shift  towards  hiring  more 

8 

 
 
  
 
 
 
 
 
 
specialists  in  FG  IV,  and  to  a  certain  extent  FG  III,  while  the  combined  share  of  FG  I  and  FG  II 
contract staff (responsible for manual and basic administrative tasks) declined by 1.8% from 2022 to 
2023, and by 3.5% from 2022 to 2024.

c)  Breakdown by gender of Commission’s contract staff in 2023 and 2024  

At  the  Commission,  contract  staff  is  predominantly  female  (60%,  considering  all  function  groups 
cumulatively). However, there are significant differences depending on the function group.  

The distribution is relatively balanced in function group IV (administrative, advisory, linguistic and 
equivalent technical tasks). Female staff is predominant in functions groups III (executive tasks) and 
II (clerical and secretarial tasks) while male staff is predominant in function group I (manual tasks).  

The breakdown of contract staff by gender, function group (FG and grade) and grade is shown in the 
figures and tables below.

d)  Breakdown by nationality of Commission’s contract staff 

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

The  breakdown  by  nationality  is  most  likely  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 one year.

In  2023,  Joint  Action  Plans  were  agreed  between  the  Commission  and  15  Member  States8  whose 
nationals were considered to be under-represented (URMS) to foster the geographical balance within 
the Commission staff, including contract agents. These Joint Action Plans represent a joint political 
commitment by the Member State and the Commission to strengthen geographical balance, and take 
the  form  of  measures  to  be  undertaken  by  the  Member  State,  by  the  Commission  as  well  as  joint 
measures.    Contract  Agents,  specifically  Contract  Agents  FGIV,  form  part  of  these  Joint  Action 
Plans in terms of outlining Member States’ overall presence within the Commission, and because of 
their potential to transition to AD5-AD8 Temporary Agents and Officials.   

Across all function groups, the number and the share of contract agents from URMS in the European 
Commission increased between 2023 and 2024. Their number rose from  1574 in 2023 (20% of all 
contract  agents)  to  1734  in  2024  (22%),  marking  an  increase  of  160  staff  members,  or  a  10.2% 
growth within a year.   
In FG IV, URMS contract agents increased from 906 in 2023 (24% of all CAs in FG IV) to 1030 in 
2024 (26%), amounting to 124 additional staff members or a 14% increase.
