ANNEX I

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 Regulations
[1](#footnote1)
. These bodies include executive and decentralised Agencies, Joint Undertakings (JU)
[2](#footnote2)
 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](#footnote3)

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.

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:

|  |  |  |
| --- | --- | --- |
| 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 | 8 to 12 | Executive tasks, drafting, accountancy and other equivalent technical tasks, performed under the supervision of officials or temporary staff. |
| II | 4 to 7 | 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. |

2.Contract staff in institutions, agencies and ju/eit

The number of contract agents on 31 December 2019 is split as follows:

3.3 Breakdown by nationality, gender and FG of Commission’s contract staff.
  
  
It is worth noting that, as for officials and temporary agents
[4](#footnote4)
, 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.

:   [(1)](#footnoteref1)
     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)](#footnoteref2)
     See Article 187 TFEU.
:   [(3)](#footnoteref3)

    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.
:   [(4)](#footnoteref4)
     See article 27 of the Staff Regulations.

     See Annex I for the list with full names of DGs, services and offices on 31 December 2019.
