Call for applications regarding Commission Decision 2009/986/EU establishing the group of experts for technical advice on the School Fruit Scheme

2010/C 296/13

1. Background

By Commission Decision 2009/986/EU (1), the Commission set up the group of experts for technical advice on the School Fruit Scheme, hereinafter referred to as ‘the group’.

The group's task shall be to assist the Commission:

(a)	with the implementation, monitoring and evaluation of the School Fruit Scheme(SFS) established by Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007 (2), as amended by Council Regulation (EC) No 13/2009 (3), by providing it with expert advice;

(b)	with the elaboration of the report referred to in Article 184(5) of Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007.

The Commission may consult the group on any matter relating to the application of the SFS.

The Commission is therefore calling for applications with a view to appointing the members of the group and establishing the relevant pool list.

2. Features of the group

2.1. Composition

The group should be composed of scientists and other experts with competences related to the implementation, monitoring and evaluation of the SFS and should deliver independent, excellent and transparent technical advice to the Commission.

It shall consist of 10 members appointed by the Commission from specialists with expertise in nutrition, epidemiology, public health and health promotion, monitoring and evaluation of the SFS, with a suitable background, who have responded to the present call for applications and have been selected accordingly.

Its composition shall reflect an adequate geographical balance within the EU.

The Commission will also establish the pool list of candidates that could not be appointed as permanent members although they were considered suitable for a position in the group in the course of the selection procedure. A maximum of 30 experts will be selected for the pool list.

The pool list can be used to appoint replacements for members of the group.

2.2. Term of the appointment

Members of the group are appointed for a three-year renewable term of office and may not serve for more than three consecutive mandates. They shall remain in office until such time as they are replaced in accordance with article 4(6) of Decision 2009/986/EU or their term of office ends.

The composition of the group and of the pool list may be reviewed every three years.

2.3. Independence and confidentiality

The members of the group shall be appointed in a personal capacity and shall advise the Commission independently of any outside influence.

Members shall each year sign an undertaking to act in the public interest and a declaration indicating the absence or existence of any interest which may undermine their objectivity. They shall also declare at each meeting any specific interest which may be considered prejudicial to their independence in relation to the items on the agenda.

They shall also respect the conditions of confidentiality mentioned in Article 5(3) of Decision 2009/986/EU.

2.4. Transparency

The names of members appointed in a personal capacity in the group and those included in the pool list shall be published on the Internet site of the Directorate-General for Agriculture and Rural Development and in the Register of Expert Groups.

The members’ name will be collected, processed and published in accordance with Regulation (EC) No 45/2001 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 18 December 2000 on the protection of individuals with regard to the processing of personal data by the Community institutions and bodies and on the free movement of such data (4).

2.5. Attendance at meetings

Applicants should be prepared to attend meetings systematically, to contribute actively to discussions in the group, to examine documents and to act as ‘chairs’ or ‘vice-chairs’ (and/or ‘rapporteurs’ on ad hoc basis).

The group shall normally meet on Commission premises in accordance with the procedures and schedule established by it.

The Commission shall reimburse travel and, where appropriate, subsistence expenses for members and experts in connection with the group’s activities in accordance with the Commission’s applicable rules on the compensation of external experts.

No remuneration shall be paid for services rendered under Decision 2009/986/EU.

Meeting expenses shall be reimbursed within the limits of the annual budget allocated by the responsible Commission services.

Most of the working documents will be in English and meetings will normally be conducted in English, with possible interpretation in several EU official languages.

Applicants should take into account that meetings generally involve preparatory work.
