However, the decision to cancel the competition at this stage was the worst possible one!<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 Unsuccessful candidates who have suffered from bad organisation and irresponsible invigilation rules are not awarded a much desired second chance.<br \/>\u2022 Successful candidates having already \u201csurvived\u201d the first phase were simply informed that the competition stops here for them, the good results obtained at this stage are not valid and cannot be used, should a new similar competition be launched in the near future.<\/p>\n<p>This is the outcome of a much advertised, but poorly prepared, remotely conducted competition which is supposed to be the model for all future competitions.<\/p>\n<p>Conclusion: a total waste of European taxpayers\u2019 money, candidates\u2019 time and effort and a hard blow to EU Institutions\u2019 reputation.<\/p>\n<h4><strong><em>Will someone be held accountable for this?<\/em><\/strong><\/h4>\n<p><em><strong>Union Syndicale<\/strong><\/em>\u00a0in close cooperation (\u201cFront Commun\u201d) with all Commission trade unions and the Central Staff Committee have on several occasions pointed out the weaknesses and possible legal failures of this process and asked in time for all necessary corrective measures.<\/p>\n<p>EPSO and DG HR ignored these warnings and \u2013 as usually \u2013 considered that their approach is totally faultless. This is not the first time in the last years that administration fails to its duty with regard to social dialogue and staff consultation \u2013 unfortunately we are getting used to this arrogant attitude.<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Union Syndicale<\/strong><\/em>\u00a0considers it necessary to stress once again that cancelling a competition at this advanced stage is neither a valid nor an adequate response to the situation created by EPSO\u2019s inadvertence, as it could have a negative impact also on other running competitions, multiplying thus the disastrous effects of this first decision.<\/p>\n<p>On this basis:<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>\u2022 Union Syndicale<\/strong><\/em>\u00a0strongly requests EPSO to reconsider its decision to cancel the competition EPSO\/AST\/154\/22 and to seek any other realistic and legally acceptable solution that would enable successful candidates to preserve their good results and unsuccessful candidates to have the opportunity to be tested in a decent and fair way.<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>\u2022 Union Syndicale<\/strong><\/em>\u00a0insists on the need to actively involve staff representation in all discussions regarding the future model for competitions and to remain open and receptive to any useful comment and suggestion, even when this does not fit the administration\u2019s perception of things.<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>\u2022 Union Syndicale<\/strong><\/em>\u00a0calls DG HR to seriously consider the damage of Commission\u2019s image to the external world and do its utmost in the context of EPSO\u2019s Management Board with a view to reinstating the EU as an employer attracting the best candidates through a fair selection model for all, respecting human dignity and personal life.<\/p>\n<h4><em><strong>Candidates, Union Syndicale is on your side!
