Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 39
Paragraph 39
39. Underlines that post-public employment and ‘revolving door’ conflict of interests situations is a recurring issue in the EU institutions; calls for the EEAS for the effective and consistent application of the Staff Regulations, in particular Article 16 thereof, in order to prevent conflicts of interests, in particular – but not only – concerning senior officials; is concerned about the EEAS' seeming lack of commitment in this regard as became evident through its handling of recent revolving door cases; calls on the EEAS to systematically review potentially problematic transitions to the private sector or to third countries organisations and to continue to monitor the occupation of the former senior official until the end of the mandatory cooling-off period;

Paragraph 40
40. IDeeply regrets that the EEAS has not published any of its decisions on occupational activities of former senior officials for six years, including 2019, in breach of its obligations under Article 16 of the Staff Regulation; welcomes that it has started to publish them in 2020, including the retrospective publishing of decisions from previous years; insists in this regard that the EEAS from now on publishes annually its decisions on occupational activities of former senior officials on an annual basis and that it monitors on a constant basis whether they adhere to the conditions imposed on them and, if appropriate, take decisive action to enforce compliance with these conditions;

41 a. Underlines that Article 16 enables Union institutions to turn down a former official's request to take a specific job if restrictions are not sufficient to protect the legitimate interests of the institutions; fears that it is often not possible to enforce conditions imposed upon post-public employment activities; encourages Union institutions and agencies, therefore, to consider the full range of tools made available under Article 16 of the Staff Regulation;
