Brexit news for British staff

*Update 22.02.2024 UK-only staff are restricted in the EEAS. We asked for figures.* There will be no forced resignations (FR) of UK officials who lose their EU citizenship when the UK leaves the EU, or hardly any, according to a decision from the Commission just published.  So thanks to the College for that, and no doubt a great relief for those British colleagues fortunate enough to have a permanent contract.

But what about temporary and contract agents?   Sadly  the Commission only promises  “d’effectuer une analyse au cas par cas afin d’autoriser des exceptions dûment justifiées à l’exigence de nationalité prévue par le régime applicable aux autres agents’- and – ‘ à conclure des contrats qui fassent un usage généreux et transparent de cette possibilité de dérogation”.   Judging by the ‘generosity’ previously shown towards staff on all matters contractual this is hardly reassuring.

By the way – now the financial crisis is over when can all staff stop paying the ‘solidarity levy’? which is still being so unjustly imposed on staff for reasons which are far from transparent  (you remember it was extended because of the financial crisis at the same time as pay cut and a 7% increase in  worktime  without pay).
