Staff Regulations of EC officials: amending the Regulations

This document comprises of the opinion 1/2004 of the Court of Auditors on an amended proposal for a Council Regulation amending Staff Regulations of officials and the Conditions of Employment of other servants of the European Communities. The Court of Auditors recalls that in its opinion 14/2002 it made some observations and recommendations which have not all been taken into account. Concerning the Commission's amended proposal, as it has been transmitted, the Court notes that the transition to the amended Staff Regulations will give rise to discriminatory anomalies concerning recruitment and new grading of staff. The Commission should propose a way to deal with issues of this nature. The Court considers in general that for all the matters linked to the application of the new Staff Regulations adequate coordination must be ensured between the different institutions.
