Notes the Joint Undertaking’s reply that it has been obliged to constantly enlarge the use of interim staff during the past years due to the limitations of the rigid staff establishment plan due to increasing tasks and workload, and regrets that this trend is expected to continue with the two programmes – the Clean Sky 2 and the new Clean Aviation programme running in parallel; welcomes, moreover, that the Joint Undertaking has put in place mitigation measures (such as appropriate supervision mechanisms, limiting tasks for interims to non-core tasks and ensuring appropriate training and mentoring support); notes, however, that this situation is not optimal on a medium and long-term perspective and that the Joint Undertaking considers that the solution would be to provide more flexibility with regard to the number of contract agents posts in the staff establishment plan; urges the Joint Undertaking to identify key areas of operations where the human resources should be concentrated in order to optimise their contribution to the workflow and calls for the Joint Undertaking to receive more staff;

Notes with concern, from the follow-up of previous years’ observations of the Court of Auditors (the ‘Court’) that the situation with the increased use of interim staff during the past years remains high at around 13 % of statutory staff; recalls that the high level of contractual staff tends to increase significantly the Joint Undertaking’s staff turnover rate and further destabilises the staffing situation; emphasises, moreover, that the use of interim staff should remain a temporary solution as it could otherwise negatively affect the Joint Undertaking’s overall performance, such as the retention of key competences, unclear accountability channels, possible judicial disputes and lower staff efficiency; notes the Joint Undertaking’s reply, that it has been obliged to constantly enlarge the use of interim staff during the past years due to the limitations of the rigid staff establishment plan under the condition of increasing tasks and workload, and that this trend is expected to continue with the two programmes – the Clean Sky 2 and the new Clean Aviation programme – running in parallel; notes, furthermore that a more optimal solution would be to provide more flexibility to the Joint Undertaking with regards to number of contract agents’ posts in the staff establishment plan; reminds, however, that the Joint Undertaking should develop a formalised model or guidance on how to estimate staff needs (including essential competences), with the objective of optimising the use of staff resources;
