What we do
The role and the function of the Staff Committee is
- to participate in the application of the rules and regulations implementing the staff policy as negotiated by the trade unions and professional organisations of the Commission in order to ensure they are in conformity with agreements reached.
- to play a consultative or participative role in helping staff to resolve problems through a series of statutory and administrative committees.
to this effect, the Staff Committee
- designates staff representatives to either statutory or joint committees.
- delegates a part of it's competencies, as regards particular work requirements, to sectoral staff delegations.
- will question the Administration on any deviations or erroneous interpretations of agreements.
The Staff Committee is an elected statutory body which represents all officials and other agents of the Commission vis-à-vis the Administration and the College of Commissioners to ensure that the rules established by the Commission as regards staff (ex. in diverse areas such as training opportunities, social actions, restaurants, part-time work, holidays, security and hygiene, child day-care, etc...) are fully respected. It is governed by statutory provisions (article 9 and annex II, section I) and by the "Rules governing the composition and functioning of the Staff Committee".
The Brussels Local Staff Committee is numerically the largest one, with 27 Members and 27 Deputies who represent approximately 20.0000 staff members in:
-
Brussels;
-
at the food and veterinary office - OAV - DG DANCO in Grange (Ireland);
-
in the Commission offices in the 24 member States with the exception of the Paris office and our branch in Marseilles (which are represented by the LSC-France).
The Brussels Local Staff Committee has delegated 19 pairs of representatives for overall horizontal questions to the Central Staff Committee. These pairs represent the largest delegation, without having the absolute majority, in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Central Staff Committee.
The Staff Committee mandate is valid for three years (regulation n° 2192/97 of the Council of 30.10.1997, modifying Art.1 of Annex II of the Staff Regulations).
