Appointment of new EEA Director postponed

Released on 2002-03-08

The EEA Management Board has issued the following statement:

"In accordance with the EU Regulation governing the Agency, the Management Board interviewed the candidates proposed by the Commission. However, no candidate obtained the support of the two-thirds majority of the Board required for appointment.

The Board therefore asks the Commission to submit a new shortlist of candidates for its consideration at the earliest opportunity. It requests the publication of a new call for applications for the post of Executive Director, based on broader criteria, in a wider range of printed and electronic media."
