Our Status

 

We are still opposed to a reform of the Staff Regulations; we have all already paid the price of the reforms of 2004 and 2014. They have resulted in a significant reduction in direct and indirect remuneration as well as savings on pensions. They have also increased disparities and precariousness without offering the means to mitigate these negative impacts. In addition, they made it possible to gradually review the concessions and quid pro quos that had been obtained by the trade unions (e.g., end of career, pensions, etc.). And savings have continued within the framework of the current budget of the Institutions (notably on pensions and European schools). The 2019 report of the Court of Auditors points to the negative effects on the attractiveness of the civil service of the two reforms of the Staff Regulations, highlighting the growing difficulty of the Institutions to recruit, in particular for certain profiles and nationalities: Let's not deprive ourselves of our talents and diversity!

 

We defend our pension system, as well as the method of adapting our pensions and wages that guarantees the maintenance of purchasing power;
