2005/119/EC: Decision of the Secretaries-General of the European Parliament, the Council, the Commission, the Court of Justice, the Court of Auditors, the European Economic and Social Committee and the Comittee of the Regions and the Representative of the European Ombudsman of 26 January 2005 on the organisation and running of the European Administrative School

2005/119/EC: Decision of the Secretaries-General of the European Parliament, the Council, the Commission, the Court of Justice, the Court of Auditors, the European Economic and Social Committee and the Comittee of the Regions and the Representative of the European Ombudsman of 26 January 2005 on the organisation and running of the European Administrative School

THE SECRETARIES-GENERAL OF THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT, THE COUNCIL, THE COMMISSION, THE REGISTRAR OF THE COURT OF JUSTICE, THE SECRETARIES-GENERAL OF THE COURT OF AUDITORS, THE EUROPEAN ECONOMIC AND SOCIAL COMMITTEE, THE COMMITTEE OF THE REGIONS AND THE REPRESENTATIVE OF THE EUROPEAN OMBUDSMAN,

Having regard to the Staff Regulations of officials of the European Communities and to the Conditions of Employment of other servants of the European Communities, as laid down by Council Regulation (EEC, Euratom, ECSC) No 259/68(1),

Having regard to the Decision 2005/118/EC of the European Parliament, the Council, the Commission, the Court of Justice, the court of Auditors, the European Economic and Social Committee, the Committee of the Regions and the European Ombudsman of 26 January 2005 setting up a European Administrative School(2), and in particular Article 5 thereof,

Having consulted the Staff Regulations Committee,

Whereas:

  1. Inter-institutional cooperation on training should be reinforced, in particular with a view to transmitting values common to all the Community institutions. Such cooperation represents considerable value added, in particular in terms of access to training, a wider range of training on offer and a reduction in unit costs.

  2. The principle of sound management dictates that a gradual approach should be adopted to setting up the European Administrative School, hereafter ‘the School’.

  3. The Decision setting up the School leaves scope for the Secretaries-General, the Registrar of the Court of Justice and the Representative of the Ombudsman to identify the fields of training to be assigned to it.

  4. Where one of the signatory institutions implements a staff policy requiring training in a special field which the School is called upon to provide, such a policy should be facilitated by ensuring a minimum number of places on the School’s courses for staff of that institution, especially if such training is obligatory or a precondition for exercising particular functions, particularly management functions.

  5. The School, like any other training body, should draw advantage from cooperation at European level by participating in relevant networks.

  6. The details of the attachment of the School to the European Communities Personnel Selection Office, as provided for in Article 4 of the Decision setting up the School, should be laid down,

HAVE DECIDED AS FOLLOWS:

Article 1 Duties of the European Administrative School

1.

The European Administrative School, hereafter ‘the School’, shall design, organise and evaluate, on behalf of the signatory institutions to the Decision setting up the School (hereafter ‘the institutions’), the following types of training:

  1. management courses for officials and other servants who are called upon, or may be called upon, to perform management functions;

  2. induction courses for new members of staff;

  3. compulsory training as provided for in Article 45a of the Staff Regulations as part of the process for transferring between function groups.

2.

Management and induction courses as referred to in points (a) and (b) of paragraph 1 may be organised by each of the institutions to supplement those organised by the School in line with their own specific needs. The School shall have exclusive responsibility for organising the training referred to in point (c) of paragraph 1.

Article 2 Responsibilities of the institutions

1.

The appointing authority in each institution shall make a sufficient number of officials available to the School as trainers according to rules adopted by the Management Board as provided for in point (g) of Article 7.

2.

At the request of the School and depending on availability, the institutions shall provide it with training rooms in accordance with rules to be set by the Management Board.

Article 3 Other services

1.

Under an agreement between the Principal of the School and any body, office or agency, the School may admit participants from them to the courses which it organises on behalf of the institutions to the extent that there are places free.

2.

Specifically in the case of the training provided for in point (c) of Article 1(1), a number of places shall be reserved each year for the Community bodies, offices and agencies, taking account of declared needs, in order to guarantee equal treatment of staff assigned to them in connection with Article 45a of the Staff Regulations. The number of places and the contributions to costs shall be set each year by the Management Board.

3.

By written agreement, the School may include courses in its training programmes which are requested by a Community body, office or agency provided this does not hinder the organising of courses for the institutions. Any agreement of this kind shall set out the financial details of the services to be provided by the School and shall require the prior approval of the Management Board before coming into effect.

4.

Where appropriate, and at the request of an institution or any Community body, office or agency, the School may provide assistance in the form of training expertise or other activities relating to its field of responsibility by means of an agreement with the Principal of the School setting out the financial details of this service.

Article 4 Complaints and requests

1.

The Principal of the School shall exercise the powers conferred on the appointing authority under Article 90 of the Staff Regulations in respect of all requests or complaints relating to the tasks of the School.
