Precarity in EU Public Service

#94 – April 2025

Defence of the European borders opening a new era for the EU Civil Service?

The European Union is entering a new phase of strategic transformation, marked by a significant shift in budgetary priorities. The latest move—€800 billion earmarked for defence with “ReArm Europe Plan/Readiness 2030 “-shadows the future Multiannual Financial Framework (MFF). Last time EU invested just €8 billion for security and defence. This represents a hundredfold increase, amounting to 44% of the current MFF. It is clear that this shift in spending priorities will inevitably have repercussions for other areas, including the EU civil service.

In this edition of AGORA #94, we explore a range of perspectives and offer deeper insights into these complex issues through a series of in-depth articles that examine both the current state and future of the EU workforce.
