Career development & appraisal cycle - EFSA
Opinion of 25 January 2008 on a notification for prior checking concerning "Career development and appraisal cycle" (Case 2007-585)
All officials, temporary and contractual agents engaged for a period of not less than one year by the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) are subject to yearly evaluation reports concerning their ability, efficiency and conduct. The "Career development and appraisal exercise consists of two parts: firstly, the "development plan" which is prepared before the start of the reference period and includes the key objectives, performance indicators and development needs for the reference period and secondly the "final appraisal exercise" to be conducted at the end of the reference period.
The EDPS has issued an opinion on the evaluation of the EFSA 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 provide appropriate information to the data subjects, to ensure the security of data during transfers as well as to remind all EFSA internal recipients of their obligation not to use the data for any further purpose beyond the purposes communicated to the data subjects.
