BEREC Office MC Decision on general implementing provisions regarding Article 54 of the CEOS

The BEREC Office is an Agency of the EU, established with the objective of providing administrative and professional support to the Body of European Regulators for Electronic Communications (BEREC). BEREC contributes to the development and better functioning of the internal market for electronic communications networks and services. BEREC and the BEREC Office were established by Regulation (EC) No 1211/2009 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 25 November 2009 (‘the BEREC Regulation’).

The BEREC Regulation refer to the Staff Regulations and the Conditions of Employment of Other Servants of the EU (CEOS) as the common legal framework for staff matters. The texts of these acts, however, are further detailed in implementing rules, which lay down the technical measures necessary to implement the Staff Regulations and the CEOS.

To define a consistent staff policy for temporary staff of all agencies the European Commission, with the assistance of a Standing Working Party, drafted a model decision for decentralised agencies and joint undertakings on the reclassification of temporary agents, which could be used as a basis for adopting the respective staff implementing rules.

The BEREC Office requested its Management Committee (MC) to examine the model adopted by the Commission and to agree on its application to the BEREC Office with some minor adjustments, which take into account the BEREC Office specificities.

The MC examined the Decision and approved it during its 27th ordinary plenary meeting, which took place on 3 June 2016 in Vienna (Austria), kindly hosted by the Austrian Regulatory Authority for Broadcasting and Telecommunications  (RTR).

The new Decision entered into force on the day of its adoption by the MC, namely 3 June 2016, and shall apply as from the 2016 reclassification exercise.
