Another staff policy issue concerns the move from the
grantholder scheme to a scheme of contractual (statutory) agents as a
consequence of the formal agreement reached in 2009 between the trade unions
and the Commission, and the following Commission Decision of 2.3.2011 (see art. 14§4: blue network - green network).
As you may already know the Administration is already working on the transition by setting up a pilot project for cat.30. The unions have different opinions on the matter: while some want to work by means of derogations for every critical point, some others would like to have a narrow database containing only high specialised profiles.

R&D fully shares the document produced
by Caterpillar and, starting
from those positions, is working to:
- have a huge database of candidates, to be used also by other
DGs
- extend the pilot project for cat. 20 and 40
- obtain EPSO selection for all profiles
- study the situation of non-EU grantholders and solve the
problem of their application.
After
two meetings with the other trade unions, the Ispra Local Staff Commitee Executive
Bureau has presented its own document, not approved by the LSC Plenary and not
shared by us.
Considering
the importance of the issue, we'll keep monitoring the situation and will
insist on our positions.
