Whereas it is desirable to establish a system of interinstitutional competitions, to be organized  by two or more institutions, according to uniform criteria and resulting in a common reserve list;  whereas provision should therefore be made for setting up a common Joint Committee;

Whereas it is desirable to widen the scope for seconding officials to temporary posts;
Whereas each institution should be given the option, if it deems this appropriate to its staffing  requirements, of derogating from Article 45 (2) of the Staff Regulations in order to allow the  transfer without competition of officials from the Language Service to Category A and vice-versa,  having regard to the specific qualifications of officials in that service and that category;
Whereas the recruitment conditions and career prospects of law clerks at the Court of Justice  should be improved;
Whereas it is advisable to amend Article 81 of the Conditions of Employment of Other Servants to  give the institutions the option of going to arbitration in the event of a dispute with a member of  local staff serving in a third country;
Whereas Article 2 of Regulation (EEC, Euratom, ECSC) No 259/68  (3) lays down the Staff Regulations  of Officials of the European Communities and Article 3 thereof lays down the Conditions of  Employment of Other Servants of such Communities,
