Selection and management of interim staff at JRC - Commission

Opinion of 9 June 2008 on a notification for prior checking regarding the selection and management of interim staff at JRC (Case 2008-139)
Management Support Units of each of the Institutes/Directorates of the JRC that use interims collect and further process information about potential candidates to interim positions for the purposes of selecting the most suitable candidates. The EDPS Opinion suggests that JRC, among others should, (a) replace the collection of certificates of good conduct by other tools that demonstrate the prior criminal behaviour (criminal records, for example) (b) ensure that applicants have access to their evaluation data including the assessment notes concerning them drafted by the selection committee and Human Resources staff of the relevant Management Units.
