Use of office telephones - European Central Bank

Opinion of 13 February 2007 on a notification for prior checking on Investigation procedures regarding the use of office telephones (Case 2004-271)

The rules of the ECB as concerns the use of the telephone and fax equipment are provided for in an administrative circular. Members of staff are entitled to make personal calls but these must be declared for billing according to a system of call charging facility by introducing a PIN code. The circular establishes a procedure for investigation procedures on the use of office phones (Call Charging Facility Investigation Procedures) which can be triggered either when there is a disagreement with the content of itemised private call listing or disagreement with content of business calls statistics.If, having assessed the situation, there are grounds to suspect misconduct on the part of a member(s) of staff, further disciplinary measures can be taken, but these were not the object of the present prior check.
 

The EDPS has issued an opinion on this procedure which 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 conservation periods for storing the data and information on the processing of personal data to be included in the administrative circular. The circular is currently in the process of modification and will reflect these recommendations accordingly.

Recruitment procedure - Community Plant Variety Office

Opinion of 2 February 2007 on a notification for prior checking on recruitment procedure (Case 2006-351)
Les procédures de recrutement visant à évaluer les aspects personnels des candidats font l'objet d'un contrôle préalable du CEPD en vertu de l'article 27, paragraphe 2, du règlement. La première notification de contrôle préalable adressée par l'Office communautaire des variétés végétales (OCVV) portait sur la procédure de recrutement et sur le mode de gestion des candidatures spontanées. La base juridique du traitement se trouve dans le statut du personnel (articles 27 à 34) et, la participation à la procédure de recrutement n'étant pas obligatoire, dans l'article 5, point d), du règlement (consentement de la personne concernée). Dans ses recommandations, le CEPD a marqué son accord sur le fait que les candidats invités à un entretien puissent être tenus de produire un extrait de casier judiciaire ou un document équivalent, afin de démontrer qu'ils jouissent de tous leurs droits en tant que citoyens, comme l'exige le statut du personnel. Parallèlement, il a recommandé que certaines questions figurant dans le formulaire de candidature type ne requièrent plus obligatoirement une réponse (activités sociales ou sportives, raisons pour lesquelles le candidat a quitté ses emplois précédents, par exemple). Le CEPD a marqué son accord sur les périodes de conservation appliquées par l'OCVV, à savoir cinq ans en cas de candidature "normale" et deux ans pour les candidatures spontanées
