On Friday 13th May the 9th meeting was held between HR General Director Ms Souka and your staff representatives on the new text of GIP (General Implementing Procedures on Other Agents) which will replace the Commission Decision of 2011.

The Post-reform Equal Pay Day is inspired by the Equal Pay Day that marks the gender pay gap (http://europa.eu/rapid/press-release_IP-14-190_en.htm).
