Staff assessment - Ombudsman

The appraisal procedure is a processing operation intended to evaluate the ability, efficiency and conduct of the statutory personnel in line with Article 43 of the Staff Regulations and Article 15.2 of the Conditions of employment of other servants of the EC.

 

In his prior checking opinion, the EDPS basically approved the new procedure as foreseen by the European Ombudsman (that shall replace the current procedure dating of 2001). However,  the EDPS made some recommendation, in particular concerning the storage of the appraisal reports in the personal files, as well as the information to be provided to the persons concerned.
