2013:

The initial financial statement gave a total of 13 TAs in 2013 for the security centre (GSMC). The revised number of agents for this centre involves an increase of 13 TAs and 2 SNEs, giving a total number of 28 (26 TAs and 2 SNEs) in 2013.

The GSMC is expected to be fully functional in 2013. This implies seven additional TAs beyond the original increase of five TA posts planned in the financial statement for 2013 for the GSMC.

In 2013, 4 Galileo Security Monitoring Officers, 4 GSMC Technical Analysts, 1 GSMC Registry Control Officer, 1 CDA Crypto Custodian, 1 GSMC Finance Officer and 1 GSMC Call Centre Officer will be recruited.

In 2014 the centre is expected to be fully operational (24/7), which will necessitate a review of the needs of the GSMC which will be assessed subsequently as part of proposals for new financial perspectives.

Accreditation

These additional posts relate directly to the new tasks arising from discussions with the Council and Parliament.

2012 :

In relation to the initial financial statement proposing an increase of 0 TAs in 2012, the recruitment of two TAs is requested in 2012 for the security accreditation department.

The two security accreditation officers (AD7) will be in charge of everything relating to the security accreditation of user segments (including PRS receivers and manufacturers of PRS receivers).

2013:

Moreover, the accreditation committee requires one extra TA in 2013 in relation to the initial financial statement to cover aspects of the additional tasks requested by the Council and the Parliament in relation to accreditation.

Relocation

The agency is scheduled to move to Prague in 2012. The Commission, in conjunction with the agency, is in the process of estimating the costs required to cover allowances, compensation and removal costs for staff (whether relocating or not), improving the building, IT infrastructure and other materials. A preliminary amount of EUR 500 000 is integrated into the budget to cover the initial costs of the move. This initial estimate will be reviewed as soon as negotiations with the Czech government have been completed. The Commission will subsequently inform the budgetary authority of the results of this final assessment.
