1. Introduction

a. Scope of the report

This report is presented pursuant to Article 79(3) of the Conditions of Employment of Other Servants of the European Union (CEOS), which provides that ‘the Commission shall provide a yearly report on the use of contract staff including numbers of staff, level and type of posts, geographical balance and budgetary resources per function group’. It includes the information related to years 2020 and 2021, with data taken at 31 December of each relevant year.

This report includes data for 60 different entities subdivided between:

a. The European Commission,

b. the other Union’s institutions as defined in article 13 of the Treaty on the European Union, except for the European Central Bank, and the bodies treated as institutions for the purpose of the Staff Regulations, by virtue of article 1b thereof and

c. the agencies, i.e. the bodies to whom the Staff Regulations apply under the Union acts establishing them, as provided for by Article 1a, paragraph 2, of the Staff Regulations ¹. These bodies include decentralised agencies, joint undertakings (JU)^², the European Institute of Innovation and Technology (EIT) and executive agencies. This report includes for the first time data for the European Public Prosecutor Office (EPPO).

Data concerning the Commission include all contract staff, i.e. staff financed upon administrative, operational and research budget lines, as well as upon revenue stemming from Service Level Agreements with the other institutions and bodies.³

b. Contract staff

The category of contract staff was created in 2004 as part of the reform of the Staff Regulations. Since then, contract staff have made a useful contribution to the work of the institutions by carrying out administrative support activities at a lower cost and by bringing in skills not always readily available within the institutions.

Articles 3a and 3b of the CEOS define the role of contract staff and functions that they may perform.

3a Contract staff are staff not assigned to a post included in the establishment plan of the instutition concerned and engaged for the performance of full-time or part-time duties:

- in an institution: to carry out exclusively manual or administrative support tasks in function group I,
- in the EU Representations and Delegations, the Agencies and other entities: to perform the functions specified in Article 80(2) of the CEOS in function groups I, II, III and IV.

3a Contract staff benefit from a contract that can evolve into a contract of indefinite duration, after a first renewal for a definite duration.

3b Contract staff (or "auxiliary contract staff) are engaged in an institution:

- to perform tasks other than those referred to in article 3a(1)(a) of the CEOS without being assigned to a post included in the establishment plan of the institution concerned, or
- to replace an official or temporary staff member who is temporarily unable to perform his or her duties.

3b Contract staff are engaged for limited duration periods, from a minimum of 3 months to a maximum of 6 years.

Article 80 of the CEOS establishes the correspondance between each function group (FG) and the type of duties to be performed:

Function group	Grade	Tasks
IV	13 to 18	Administrative, advisory, linguistic and equivalent technical tasks, performed under the supervision of officials or temporary staff.
III	8 to 12	Executive tasks, drafting, accountancy and other equivalent technical tasks, performed under the supervision of officials or temporary staff.
II	4 to 7	Clerical and secretarial tasks, office management and other equivalent tasks, performed under the supervision of officials or temporary staff.
I	1 to 3	Manual and administrative support service tasks, performed under the supervision of officials or temporary staff.

2. Contract staff in institutions and agencies

The number of contract staff on 31 December has continued to grow during the years 2020 and 2021. At the Commission, this increase was marginal and, as a consequence, the share of contract staff employed by the Commission compared to the total number of contract staff continued its decline during the last years. An increase is observed in other institutions, with the majority of them in the European Parliament (see table 19a), and in agencies. It is also noted that from a budgetary point of view the salaries of contract staff in agencies are financed through the agencies’ operational budget, whereas their pensions are financed by the institutions’ overall administrative budget (Heading VII).

The number of Contract Agents on 31^st December of the respective years is split as follows:

Table 1 - Number of contract staff at the Commission, other institutions and agencies

	2020	2021
European Commission	7581	7615
Other institutions	3051	3420
Agencies	4606	5311
Total	15238	16346

3. Contract staff at the European Commission

a. Evolution in the use of contract staff at the Commission

The number of contract agents in the Commission evolved as follows since their introduction in 2004.

Table 5 - Evolution over time within the Commission

b. Breakdown by function group of Commission contract staff

The majority of Commission contract staff (more than 40%) is employed to carry out Administrative, advisory, linguistic and equivalent technical tasks (GF IV)

FG IV	3156	3321
Total	7581	7615

Table 6b - Breakdown by Function Group of Commission’s contract staff in 2020 and 2021

c. Breakdown by gender of Commission’s contract staff in 2020 and 2021

At the Commission, contract staff is predominantly feminine (ca 60%, in average). However, there are significant differences depending on the function group.

The distribution is balanced in function group IV (administrative, advisory, linguistic and equivalent technical tasks). Female staff is predominant in functions groups III (executive tasks) and II (clerical and secretarial tasks) while male staff is predominant in function group I (manual tasks).

The breakdown of contract staff by gender, function group (FG and grade) and grade is shown in the charts and tables below.

d. Breakdown by nationality of Commission’s contract staff in 2020 and 2021

It is worth noting that, as for officials and temporary agents^⁴, engagement of contract staff is carried out on the basis of the required profile, the applicants' abilities and language knowledge, without any quotas by nationality.

The breakdown by nationality is most likely influenced by a combination of factors, in particular geographical proximity to the location of the institution’s headquarters (for the Commission, mainly Brussels, Luxembourg and Ispra), salary levels and the duration of the proposed contracts. Candidates are more likely to accept a post with a fixed-term contract if they are resident at or near the site of the institution offering them a job, also considering that the duration of the first contract is as a general rule of just one year.

In 2020, as well as in 2021, all Member States were represented in all function groups, with the exception of Austria, which was not represented in Function Group I.

The nationalities most represented among contract staff were - in descending order - Italian, Belgian, French, Spanish and Greek. These five nationalities altogether, which represent ca. 44% of the EU population, account for ca. two thirds of all contract staff (and even almost 85% in FGI). This share has been stable since 2005.

1 It is to be noted that the Staff Regulations do not apply to the European Central Bank and the European Investment Bank (including the European Investment Fund), which have adopted specific rules for their staff pursuant to Article 36(1) of Protocol n° 4 and Article 11(7) of Protocol n°5 annexed to the Treaties. Also, the Single Resolution Board is not mentioned in this report as it does not employ contract agents. They are therefore out of the scope of this report.

2 See Article 187 TFEU.

3 It is to be noted that the budgetary data (sent each year with the draft budget to the Budgetary Authority - Working Document, parts II and III) show contract staff numbers at the time when the draft budget is presented (including contract staff recruited using assigned revenue), i.e.: a statement of the position at 1 April of year N-1 (where N is the year of the draft budget), budgetary implementation in year N-2 and requests for appropriations with estimates of full-time equivalents (FTE) for year N. This is why some differences appear in the numbers for contract staff, depending on the data source. Since several budget lines include appropriations for external personnel without establishing a distinction between the different categories of that personnel, the budget figures convey the best possible estimates based on the likely average costs and the repartition between categories.

4 See article 27 of the Staff Regulations.

5 Nationalities are ranked in the table from the largest to the smallest. The cumulated share indicates the sum of the shares of the first ranked nationalities

6 See Annex I for the list with full names of Directorates General s, services and offices on 31 December 2021.

7 Please note that the scope of the data presented in this chapter is limited to staff in activity at the moment of the snapshot. For this reason the totals do not match with the data displayed in the other chapters.
