Press Release: Further boost to top management recruitment in the Commission

Maroš Šefčovič, the Vice President of the European Commission in charge of Inter-institutional Relations and Administration, on 27 May 2010 announced the publication of vacancies for four Deputy Director General posts, open to nationals of three Member States which joined the EU in 2004 (Latvia, Lithuania and Malta). Although overall targets for top managers from the new Member States which joined the EU in 2004 have been achieved, individual indicative targets have not yet been reached for these three Member States. These publications will be followed by two further waves of senior management publications, respectively at Director and Principal Adviser levels, which will be opened to nationals of six Member States which joined the EU in 2004 and 2007 (Bulgaria, the Czech Republic, Lithuania, Poland, Romania and Slovakia).
