Opinion of 13 June 2008 on the notification for prior checking regarding the Skills database (Case 2008-192)
This database contains career data on staff covering professional experience in and before joining the EP. The skills database constitutes an electronic processing operation that facilitates Human Resources management in mobility, careers advice, specialised staff search, filling vacant posts and planning competitions.

Some of the information contained in the database is entered by the data subject him or herself, some other elements are derived from other databases maintained by DG Personnel, such as STREAMLINE (Management of the recruitment, career, training, individual entitlements and reimbursement of expenses - e.g. missions - of staff), RAPNOT (Evaluation), and FORPRO (European Parliament training management, the data extracted from it comprising the list of training courses completed).
