Recital 16
(16) The role of the Executive Director, who would be the legal representative of BEREC, is crucial for the adequate functioning of the new agency and the implementation of the tasks assigned to it. The Management Board should appoint him/her on the basis of a list drawn up by the Commissihairperson following an open and transparent selection procedure in order to guarantee a rigourous evaluation of the candidates and a high level of independence. The candidate should obtain the consent of the European Parliament to take office. Moreover, in the past the term of office of the Administrative Manager of the BEREC Office was three years. It is necessary that the Executive Director has a sufficiently long mandate in order to ensure stability and delivery of a long-term strategy for the agency.
