Updated: Sep 18, 2021




Complete the INTPA Survey

INTPA Survey : deadline Monday 20 September : https://ec.europa.eu/eusurvey/runner/newHRstrategy


+ send your comments to NEAR

NEAR FMB : deadline Tuesday 21 September: NEAR-HR-STRATEGY-DELEGATIONS@ec.europa.eu


Your opinion is IMPORTANT – if you do not engage, your opinion will not be taken into consideration and your specific concerns will not be addressed


Contract Agents and Local Agents must let the INTPA/NEAR Directors General

know their HR expectations too!


EU DEL are unique – they have a wide range of staff categories (Officials, Temporary Agents, Local Agents and Contract agents among others). These staff are on the frontline when it comes to the efficient and effective delivery and implementation of critical EU policies. Failure to speak up will mean a weaker strategy that will not confront the challenges we face in EU DEL


The new HR strategy will shape Commission policies for the decade to come – your future depends on us getting this right!


  • USHU is concerned that despite the lengthy discussions, the current proposal pays insufficient attention to all staff categories in EU DEL.

  • Few and limited measures are foreseen for Local Agents & Contract Agents whereas they work side by side with Officials to form a formidable team

  • Each staff category deserves to have career opportunities and pathways to higher responsibilities and greater internal recognition

  • USHU advocates for a modernisation of the Commission HR Strategy and greater career opportunities for ALL.

  • Our work must remain as pertinent as ever and our workplace must remain an attractive option for highly talented staff



The new HR Strategy has not yet been adopted - you can still have an impact by providing your input on the 3 strategic areas of Attractiveness/ Recruitment and Selection & Career prospects



HAVE YOUR SAY: COMPLETE THE INTPA SURVEY NOW – deadline 20/09: https://ec.europa.eu/eusurvey/runner/newHRstrategy


Send your comments/suggestions to DG NEAR by 21/09: NEAR-HR-STRATEGY-DELEGATIONS@ec.europa.eu

Yes, indeed Helen and we need a strategy among ourselves that represents interests of local and contract staff. Where there is a will, there is a way!

Really important for Commission staff in EU Delegations to participate and have their voice heard in relation to to the proposañ for a new HR Strategy. If we do not provide our comments, our needs will be overlooked.
