Resolution
The ACI interpreters at their meeting on 03/03/10, held in CCAB, room 1D;
WHEREAS the procedures for establishing the Employability Coefficient and more specifically for attributing the scores for the Professional Competence Factor and the professional domicile are of vital importance to ACI, both economically and professionally;
WHEREAS AIIC’s Negotiating Delegation has reported on its correspondence with DG SCIC’s Directorate A on this matter;
WHEREAS there is concern about the recent reform of these procedures adopted unilaterally by SCIC Management;
WHEREAS social dialogue must continue to be accorded its due role in an administration such as the European Commission;
DEMAND :
1. that SCIC Management immediately launch the required consultation of staff representatives – the AIIC Professional Delegation (PD), AIIC Negotiating Delegation (DN) and, where necessary, the Staff Interpreters Delegation (DI) - on the various components in the recast of the employability coefficient (Quality Monitoring, new weighting for professional domicile and the mandate of the Joint Quality Group) in order to arrive at an outcome satisfactory to all parties;
2. that AIIC’s delegations (PD and ND) report as soon as possible and using the appropriate means on the progress achieved;
3. that AIIC’s delegations (PD and ND) make arrangements to convene a sector meeting if matters are not resolved, so that the sector may consider what further action is required.
