Press Release: European Commission establishes new administration offices to increase its internal efficiency and reallocate resources to core tasks

The European Commission approved the establishment of three new offices on 6 November 2002. The offices are aimed at rationalising the day-to-day management of administrative and support services, particularly those that are currently carried out by the Directorate General for Personnel and Administration. In transferring part of the tasks to three offices, one for the payment of all Commission staff entitlements, the other two for the management of Commission infrastructure in Brussels and Luxembourg, the Commission is seeking to increase the effectiveness of the delivery of these services to the benefit of staff.
