​

• Certification procedure - A tentative yet promising reform

 

• Meeting the Delegation for security staff : new rules are a good start

​​​

ETHOS Europe stance

Our main message is that the certification procedure must be a channel to reward deserving colleagues who have worked hard to achieve an improvement in their career progression. The process can be truly fair only if it revolves around individual merit, regardless of whom you know and where you come from!

​

Ethos Europe (via the Chair of the Staff Committee) acknowledged these challenges, emphasised the risks security staff face (e.g., during demonstrations), and committed to ongoing constructive dialogue with the administration. The delegation was heavily encouraged to participate actively in this dialogue. We offer our full support to the security agents, whose role is essential to the sustainability and well-being of our institution and staff.
