Special Report No 9/2009: The efficiency and effectiveness of the personnel selection activities carried out by the European Personnel Selection Office

The European Communities’ Institutions employ staff with a wide variety of professional backgrounds and geographical origins. Officials are mostly selected through open competitions which since 2003 have been managed by the European Personnel Selection Office (EPSO). In this report the Court focuses on how EPSO coped with the large increase in the number of competitions due to enlargement and whether it provided lists of laureates in a timely manner, ensuring the required numbers and geographical balance.
