CERTIFICATION, 2007 EXERCISE
FINAL LISTS OF ADMITTED AND
PRE-SELECTED CANDIDATES
This Administrative Notice concerns the officials whose applications
to the 2007 certification exercise have been admitted and the officials
who launched an appeal against their non-admission.
The procedure for selecting officials to follow in 2008 the training
programme offered by the European Administrative School (EAS) has three
stages: admission; pre-selection; evaluation and ranking of the
pre-selected candidates. This Administrative Notice finalises the
admission and pre-selection stages.

IMPORTANT WARNINGS TO APPLICANTS
-
The draft lists of admitted and pre-selected
applicants, issued by means of
Administrative Notice n° 01-2008 , were based on the information
provided in the application forms. The information related to the
level of education and to the principal language of the officials
provisionally pre-selected has been checked by DG ADMIN. When the
information in the application does not tally with the documents in
the personal file, DG ADMIN has informed the Joint Committee for the
certification procedure and the certification files have been
consequently modified. An explanation was added in the "Summary" tab
of the certification files which were then recalculated on the basis
of the modified elements.
-
The ranking of the admitted candidates has been
reviewed in order to take into account the outcome of the appeals
and the result of the controls mentioned above.
-
The candidates whose names appeared on the
provisional list of 220 pre-selected candidates are therefore
invited to consult the final list, in annex 2, in order to check if
their name still appears.
-
The declarations of the pre-selected candidates
regarding their recent professional experience acquired in the
priority fields have not yet been checked. For the professional
experience acquired between 1 January 2002 and 31 December 2007,
all the candidates whose names appear on the final list of
pre-selected candidates (annex
2)
are invited to provide certifications signed by the Head of the
Human Resources Unit for the DGs/Services in which they acquired
that professional experience, confirming the accuracy of the
information supplied. (see details under point 2.5).

applications were registered. The draft list of 835 admitted officials

means of Administrative Notice n° 01-2008.
Following the treatment of the appeals and the results of the checks on
the level of education declared by the candidates in their application

experience in the priority fields) and of list 2 (combining points
granted for merit and for level of education) have been consequently
reviewed.
The final list of 836 candidates admitted to the 2007 certification
exercise has been adopted by the Appointing Authority on 13 February
2008 and is published in annex 1

(included) on list 2.

- NEXT STAGE IN THE PROCEDURE: EVALUATION AND
RANKING OF THE PRE-SELECTED CANDIDATES
The DG and services of each pre-selected candidate (according to the
assignment on the date of signature of their application) shall
provide a motivated opinion on the basis of an analysis of the
applications. It is on the basis of this analysis that the 110
candidates who will be authorised to follow the training programme in
2008 will be identified. Please note that the number of points and the
rankings obtained during the pre-selection phase shall no longer be
taken into account in this evaluation stage.
2.1. Evaluation by the DGs and services
Each Director-general and Head of Service concerned shall provide an
opinion on each of the pre-selected candidates assigned to their
DG/Service. This opinion shall be motivated and take the form of points
allocated to the pre-selected candidates on the basis of an analysis
of the candidates and of their potential to become AD. The analysis of
the DGs and Services shall be based on the needs of the services and in
particular on the 3 criteria defined by the General Implementing
Provisions (GIPs) of 20/11/2007 ( l'IA
54-2007):
- responsibilities and duties currently performed by the
pre-selected applicants as mentioned in their job description or other
relevant documents, and how these responsibilities and duties are
carried out by the applicants;
- versatility of the pre-selected candidates on the basis of the
various functions performed and responsibilities held within the
European Institutions;
- relevant training courses followed as mentioned in their training
passport; ability to work in Community languages as required by the
service; ability to follow a training programme in French or English
(given that the candidates may not follow the EAS mandatory training
programme in their principal language).
Common evaluation grids and guidelines for allocating the points and
establishing the ranking have been established by the appointing
authority after consulting the Joint committee for the certification
procedure. They are available for consultation by the candidates on the
PersAdmin website
dedicated to the 2007 certification exercise .
2.2. Draft ranking of the pre-selected candidates
On the basis of the points allocated by the DGs and services, DG
ADMIN shall establish a ranking and publish the draft list
of the candidates having reached or passed the threshold (i.e. the
minimum number of points required in order to be allowed to take part in
the training programme). The threshold shall be equal to the number of
points obtained by the official ranked at the 110th position –
corresponding to the number of officials authorised to follow the
training programme as a result of the current certification exercise.
The draft list shall mention the assignment and the number of points for
each of the candidates listed.
Following the publication of the draft list, the pre-selected candidates
will see in their Sysper2 certification application file the opinion
issued by their Service, the number of points obtained and their
position in the ranking.
2.3. Appeal procedure
A pre-selected candidate who contests the number of points obtained
shall be able to lodge a substantiated appeal before the Joint committee
within 10 working days following the publication of the draft list.
2.4. Final list of candidates authorised to follow the training
programme in 2008
The Joint committee shall deliver an opinion on each appeal and shall
propose, where necessary, to modify the ranking and the number of points
granted even to the pre-selected candidates who did not lodge an appeal.
If, following the examination of the appeals and the draft list, the
number of pre-selected officials having reached or passed the threshold
exceeds 110, the Joint committee shall adopt a substantiated proposal
aimed at deciding between officials whose number of points coincides
exactly with the threshold (the ex-aequo group). To that end, the
Committee shall take into account subsidiary elements such as the length
in service as official or temporary staff in grade 5 or above –
excluding the ex-C/C* or ex-D/D* careers – and, where the length of
service is the same, the principle of equal opportunities.
On the basis of the opinion of the Joint committee, the appointing
authority shall adopt and publish the final list of officials
authorised to follow the training programme in 2008.
2.5. Certifications to be provided by the officials whose names
appear on the final list of the pre-selected candidates
For the professional experience acquired between 1 January 2002 and
31 December 2007, the candidates whose names appear on the final
list of pre-selected candidates (annex
2 )
are
invited to provide certifications signed by the Head of the Human
Resources Unit for the DGs/Services in which they acquired that
professional experience, confirming the accuracy of the information
supplied. A model certificate for signature is attached in
annex 3
 .
The candidates must send by mail the signed new certifications by 7
March 2008 to the following address :
European Commission
Unit ADMIN.A/6 "Certification procedure"
MO 34 5/15
B - 1049 Brussels
The certifications should mention, for each period of professional
experience, the most relevant priority field covered. If a certification
was already established in the framework of the 2005 or 2006
certification exercise and is covering the same period and
same field, it remains valid. The pre-selected candidate should ask
DG ADMIN/A.6 to recover this certification and attach it to the 2007
application file.
- THE COMPULSORY "CERTIFICATION" TRAINING
PROGRAMME
Courses and exams will take place in English and French. A sufficient
level of linguistic knowledge is essential and no official will be
allowed to follow the programme in his/her principal language.
