Incompetence - Court of Auditors
Opinion of 18 January 2007 on the notification for prior checking regarding the "maintaining professional standards in cases of incompetence" file (Case 2006-534)
The Court of Auditors has agreed on a draft Decision on the maintaining of professional standards (in cases of incompetence). The Decision sets up the accompanying programme, the reports produced after the programme has been followed and the final decision taken by the Appointing Authority in cases where an official of the Court of Auditors is considered to be professionally incompetent, following an annual appraisal report drafted in accordance with Article 43 of the Staff Regulations which, having been finalised, shows that the official concerned needs to make major improvements in at least one of his or her competencies.
The EDPS has analysed the processing before the establishment of this draft Decision by the Court of Auditors, since it could lead to some personal aspects relating to staff members being evaluated. The main recommendations concern the information that must be provided to staff members and data retention time limits.
