Amendment 63 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 35
Paragraph 35
35. Notes with satisfaction that following the decision of the Bureau on 5 July 2010 the internalisation of the accreditation services is now being finalised; expects the new accreditation system to provide an improved and more efficient service; considers that Parliament’s security must continue to be improved and modernised, and to that end professionalised in the proper way, primarily by means of specific selection and recruitment procedures and the necessary in-service, further, and refresher training; looks forward with interest to the developments resulting from the ‘zoning’ concept, which will bring a substantial improvement, not least as regards the security problems concerning Members’ offices;
Amendment 112 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 54
Paragraph 54
54. Points to the difficulties in recruiting officials or agents from certain Member States such as Germany, the UK, Austria or the Netherlands for which the proportion of staff in Parliament's Secretariat is significantly lower than the ‘demographic weight’ of the given country within the Union and observes the relatively high numbers of staff of holding the nationality of Belgium (13.6%) or Luxemburg (2,.3%), as a result of the working places of Parliament; notes that these difficulties stem from working conditions, which are not particularly attractive compared with other sectors or with the Civil Service in the above-mentioned countries of origin; believes that strategies need to be devised as a matter of urgency in order to halt this trend and make the European Civil Service attractive enough to alleviate the added problems of expatriation and workload (there are only 55 000 officials and other servants working for over 500 million inhabitants);
Amendment 156 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 77
Paragraph 77
77. Notes with satisfaction the improvements in the IT sector from 2010 onwards resulting in: greater capacity to manage key aspects ‘in house’, the internalisation of ICT experts, the establishment of key corporate governance organs (Committee on ICT Innovation Strategy and Steering Committee for ICT Innovation), the setting-up of the IT planning function and of the reporting system on the status of IT development projects and the development of a transparent short-term planning methodology; expresses its disquiet at the growing risk of illicit access to, and manipulation of, Parliament’s ICT systems and considers that, as a matter of the utmost urgency, an effective long-term strategy must be devised to protect them; asks the Secretary-General to keep it informed of the measures taken to that end;
