ATTESTATION PROCEDURE, 2010 EXERCISE: Final list of admitted officials
This administrative notice finalises the admission phase of the
exercise and grants to the admitted candidates (the "attestables") the
right to benefit from attestation, with no limit in time, as a result of
the 2010 attestation exercise. It also explains the conditions for the
admitted officials to be attested.
Officials who applied and were not included on the draft list of admitted candidates (Administrative Notice No 59-2010) could make a substantiated appeal to the Joint Committee for the attestation procedure. At its meeting held on 23 November 2010, the Joint Committee issued an opinion on each of the appeals lodged. On this basis, the Appointing authority decided on 10 December 2010 to add to the list of admitted candidates the following 2 officials: RENQUET Louise; BARTOCCI Doriano Officials who appealed are invited to consult their attestation file in Sysper2 to see the response of the Appointing authority to their appeal. This information is accessible by cliking on the "Summary" tab under "File history". Article 90(2) of the Staff Regulations permits a complaint to be made against the decision of the Appointing authority. How to do this is explained at: http://myintracomm.ec.europa.eu/hr_admin/en/appeals/complaints/Pages/index.aspx As a reminder, the admission criteria are spelled out in Article 5(1) of the Commission Decision of 29 November 2006 (Administrative notice No 55-2007) and the detailed rules for applying the admission criteria for the 2010 attestation exercise are set out in the Appointing authority decision published on 1 July 2010 (Administrative notice No 40-2010). The final list of the 178 candidates admitted to the 2010 attestation exercise was adopted by the Appointing authority on 10 December 2010 and is published in annex 1 . The admitted officials – the "attestables"– are granted the right to benefit from attestation and to become members of the AST function group with no career restriction. 2.1. Validity of the list The benefit of being admitted to the attestation procedure – obtained as from the 2006 attestation exercise – is not subject to any time limit. The officials listed in annex have the right to wait one or more years before applying for an "Administrative assistant" level post. They will always be considered as "attestables". 2.2. Conditions for benefitting from attestation To be deemed attested, the admitted officials have to occupy or be appointed to an "Administrative assistant" level post, which means a post with all functions corresponding to the ex-B* category. Indeed, attestation implies that all functions performed by the official are of ex-B* level and that the level of the post is recognised as being of "Administrative assistant" level – which corresponds to job description types "Assistant", "Administrative assistant " or "Team leader (Chef d'équipe)". The tasks and functions considered as being of "Administrative assistant" level require, in particular, the skills to act and react independently, a certain degree of autonomy, of responsibility, of pro-activeness, of coordination, of interpretation of instructions and advice. Tasks and functions executed without taking initiative or following are excluded. The admitted officials have therefore the right to apply for any "Administrative assistant" level post published by a Commission service. Attestation will be requested by the human resources' service of the Directorate general or service to which the admitted official is assigned. Attestation shall be granted after the information declared by the official in his/her attestation application form has been verified. This verification shall be made by DG HR at the latest once a request for his/her attestation is received. In case of non-conformity between the information declared and the documents contained in the personal file of the candidate, the benefit of attestation shall not be granted. In order to acquire or consolidate the competencies they require to perform "Administrative assistant" level functions, the admitted officials are encouraged to follow the training courses listed in annex 2 , taking into account their development needs and the needs of the service to which they are assigned. Participation in these training courses is not a prerequisite for attestation itself. Each admitted official shall evaluate, in agreement with his/her reporting officer, the usefulness to follow one or more of these training courses, taking into account the ones that he/she already attended and the constraints of the service to which he/she is assigned. Officials are requested to formalise this dialogue with the reporting officer by adding these training courses in their training map in Syslog. If a training map has already been validated, the officials should create a new version with the following justification: "Modification of the training offer". This shall enable the "Learning and development" unit of DG HR (HR.B.3) to identify the needs and, consequently, the number of training courses to organise, in the limit of available resources. These training courses are available in Syslog Web Formation, by clicking on the direct link included in the table in annex 2 or in the "Attestation" file of the general catalogue of the central training (HR.B.3), under the heading "Career development". The training requests must be introduced in Syslog and will follow the usual workflow: validation by the reporting officer and by the central training coordinator (CoFo), registration by the training manager. The profile of officials admitted to the attestation has been updated in Syslog Web Formation so that any request they enter on one of the recommended training courses shall automatically be identified with an "Attestation" priority. These requests shall be registered in priority by the central training managers. Please note that the list of training courses might be adapted and updated according to the evolution of the central training offer. The Syslog "Attestation" file shall be modified to take these possible changes into account. If you have questions on the training courses, please send an e-mail to the functional mailbox HR LEARNING & DEVELOPMENT or to the central training manager whose name is indicated in Syslog. The attestation act shall indicate that the official is "attested". His/her career path in the AST function group shall no longer be restricted, with prospects of promotion to grade AST 11. He/she will no longer be limited to grade AST 7 (for ex-C*) or AST 5 (for ex-D*). Attestation does not modify the grade, the step and the multiplication factor. The basic salary remains therefore unchanged. The officials attested during a calendar year will figure for the first time on the AST (without career restriction) promotion list the year after the attestation took place. The points contained in their "sac à dos" will be recalculated in order to keep the same relative distance to the promotion threshold (except for officials in the C or D end of career grade, i.e. respectively AST7 and AST5). The Joint Committee for the attestation procedure shall be informed, on a monthly basis, on the number of attested officials (profile, DG, etc.) and on the number of courses requested and followed (see point 3). The Joint Committee shall send any appropriate recommendation to the Appointing Authority. Questions and information on the attestation procedure:
