(2) Consequently, it is necessary to provide a framework for the recruitment of high calibre staff in terms of productivity and integrity, drawn on the widest possible geographical basis from among citizens of the Member States, and to enable such staff to carry out their duties as effectively and efficiently as possible. In this respect, the current difficulties experienced by the institutions in recruiting officials or staff with certain nationalities - from Germany, the United Kingdom, Austria and the Netherlands - owing to working conditions being less attractive and less competitive than in other sectors need to be overcome.

(2a) Taking into account that the size of the European Civil Service is very limited considering the objectives of the Union and its population, decreases in the number of staff of the institutions and agencies of the European Union should not lead to the impairment in the performance of their tasks, duties and functions in accordance with the obligations and powers under the Treaties. In this regard, a better transparency of the personnel costs incurred by each institution and agency with respect to all categories of staff they employ is required.

(13) With a view to adjusting career structures in the current domains of AST staff even further to different levels of responsibility and as an indispensable contribution to limiting administrative expenses, a new function group ‘AST/SC’ for secretarial and clerical staff should be introduced. Salaries and promotion rates should establish a suitable correspondence between the level of responsibility and the level of remuneration. In this way it will be possible to preserve a stable and comprehensive European civil service. The Commission should assess and report on the scale and effects of introducing this new function group, in particular on the level of savings achieved and on the proportionality of those savings compared to their potential social impact on the staff in the lowest grades, taking particular account of the situation of women, so that it can be ensured that a stable and comprehensive European civil service is preserved.
