STAFF RECRUITED ON CONTRACTS

In addition to permanent officials, the European Commission often recruits non-permanent
staff. There are two categories of non-permanent staff:

•

temporary agents are recruited to fill vacant positions for a set amount of time or to
perform highly specialised tasks.

• contract agents may provide additional capacity in specialised fields where an

insufficient number of officials is available or carry out a number of administrative or
manual tasks. They are generally recruited for fixed-term contracts (maximum 6 years in
any EU Institution), but in some cases they can be offered contracts for an indefinite
duration (in offices, agencies, delegations or representations).
