Generation 2004 supports the petition in favour of Contract Agents (CA) – our support for the Contract Agents’ Collective

Contract Agents, Events, Newsletter-2026-05-29, Petition Print This Post

In the recent weeks and days, you might have received via email a petition from the ‘CA collective’. What the ‘CA collective’ is proposing is not new to us. To a large extent, it is a reflection and continuation of the positions that we, as a staff association, have been advocating for over a long period of time and aligned with our postulates for CAs. 

Following the exchange of views with the colleagues involved, we understood their intentions and convictions and consequently we have decided to support the related petition. This position was re-confirmed during the conference organised on 4 May 2026.

AD7 internal competition: a compass on complaints, queries and legal remedies

Administrators, EPSO, Internal Competitions, Newsletter-2026-05-29 Print This Post

On internal or open competitions, the notice of competition is the ‘bible’.  Why?  Due to its binding nature. The notice of competition (NoC) and its annexes operate as a binding legal framework for the procedure. You should therefore read it before anything else. You should even consider that each ‘word’ and ‘comma’ counts!

This article is not about the lack of competitions or its badly planification, wrongdoings, or about technical difficulties you may face when you are applying to internal or open competitions. 

This article is a brief guide on procedures, rights and duties regarding complaints, queries, and legal remedies at your disposal when something goes wrong. Obviously, you should primarily focus on the content and not in the procedures. You should focus on the tests and not on complaints, queries and legal remedies, but it is quite important to master them when time comes.  Continue reading AD7 internal competition: a compass on complaints, queries and legal remedies →

Internal Competitions, Newsletter-2026-05-29, Training Print This Post

*Update 10.06.2026: Given that COM AD7 competition exam is tomorrow and these packages have a waiting period before participants receive the link to the practice SHL exam included and the results report, registration is closed. Register links and the corresponding discount codes are no longer available*

*Update 04.06.2026: Ya Semos Europeos added cognitive reasoning Mock exams to both packages for registered participants (with no extra charge). Participants can find this bonus content directly on their profiles on the training platform. Please note that registered participants may need to refresh their browser or their login to the platform to see changes / updates in their profiles on Teachable. As some candidates have registered in both packages to increase their SHL practice (2 packages = 2  Verify interactive G+ exams on SHL platform), each package has a different courtesy cognitive reasoning YSE Mock exam. So these candidates do not get the same mock test twice.

*Update 29.05.2026: The exam date for the cognitive reasoning test in COM/AD7/107/2026 internal competition has been set for June 11*
