EPSO takes on Ombudsman’s recommendations
European Ombudsman P.Nikiforos Diamandouros ensures more transparent selection procedures for EU jobs. Following numerous complaints from applicants for European work positions, the European Personnel Selection Office (EPSO) has accepted the Ombudsman’s recommendations and announced new measures to assure a more open staff selection process. These measures are to take part in the new system of selection which EPSO will introduce in 2010.
Speaking on his findings Ombudsman Diamandouros said that he was "delighted with EPSO's response to my recommendations. The new measures will enhance the public's trust in the professionalism of EU recruitment. It also constitutes an important change in administrative culture towards more transparency."
The Ombudsman called on EPSO stressing a need for openness in the selection process mainly in response to reclamations from applicants concerning unjustified secrecy in evaluation criteria and lack of transparency, because the breakdown of the overall mark was not disclosed.
