Career development - European Maritime Safety Agency
Opinion of 17 December 2007 on a notification for prior checking concerning "Annual career development" (Case 2007-568)
All officials, temporary and contractual agents working for the European Maritime Safety Agency (EMSA) are subject to yearly evaluation reports concerning their ability, efficiency and conduct. The purpose of the data processing in question is the subsequent career development review, promotion/reclassification exercise, follow-up of individual training plans and renewal of temporary agent or contract agent contract.
The EDPS has issued an opinion on the evaluation of the EMSA staff. The EDPS concludes that on a general basis the procedure complies with the principles established in the data protection regulation. However the EDPS did make some recommendations mainly as concerns the need to collect some data, the information of the persons concerned as well as the appropriate time-limit for the storage of data.
