Free EU Resources

The 'EU in slides' is a new product published by DG COMM. It is a choice of PP slides outlining the basics of what the EU is and how it works. They are intended as a flexible aid for teachers and others to give presentations and speeches about the EU. Users can easily combine these slides with their own slides. They are open for editing, so any of our multipliers can re-use illustrations, graphs or the template.

 

Resources are here.

Proposals for new structure
 

Dear Colleagues

 

Please find below draft structure proposals for consultation. You will note that these proposals are at strategic level and give an indication of the proposed shape of the new directorates. The models shown are a 5 director model and a 6 director model. I have discussed this with Trades Union colleagues who know that this information is being posted on the Zone today (04 Feb 09).

 

I have taken account of the views expressed to me through staff briefings, the survey, and on an ad hoc basis by staff and I hope that you find that these proposals reflect your views so far.

 

I would be grateful if you could remit any comments back to either your directors or to me directly by email or in writing and of course you can make your comments known via your TU rep if you prefer.

 

Thank you

Sue Bruce
Chief Executive

Draft structure proposals available here.
