2009 appraisal and promotion exercise

Statistics relating to the appraisal and the overall distribution with respect to performance levels, and to the distribution of the provisional formal intentions

Recommendations of the AD and AST Joint Appraisal and Promotion Committees

The Joint Appraisal and Promotion Committees for the function groups AD and AST have examined the statistics relating to the appraisal and promotion exercise in accordance with Article 7(8) of the general provisions for implementing Article 43 of the Staff Regulations and Article 5(3) of the General Implementing Provisions of Art. 45 of the Staff Regulations.

Under these provisions, the Committees may address recommendations to the Directorates-General and to the Directorate-General for Personnel and Administration. They also state that the Committees’ analysis should be made known to staff.

This Administrative Notice constitutes the notification required by the abovementioned provisions.

The Committees examined information relating to the following body: "Cabinets". The analysis of information relating to other Directorates-General of the Commission took already place and was published in the Administrative Notices of 13 May 2009 (No. 35-2009) and of 3 June 2009 (No. 43-2009).

The Committees take note of the maximum percentages applied to the body "Cabinets" for the performance levels IA and IB (for the function group AD: 20% for performance level IA and 55% for performance level IB and for the function group AST: 15% for performance level IA and 31% for performance level IB). The Committees take also note of the fact that these percentages have been fixed by the Appointing Authority despite a negative opinion of the staff representatives who consider them as excessive. The Committees invite the Joint Monitoring Committee to analyse the impact of these percentages on the careers of the officials concerned.
