SDC CGA Working Group

Social Dialogue Committee for Central Government Administrations - SDC CGA Working group 21 April 2015 9:00-17:00

To TUNED and the EPSU NEA Committee members for information

You are herewith invited to the SDC-CGA Working Group meeting that will now take place in Brussels on 21 April (instead of 13 April as originally announced). The change of date is due to the fact that French Minister for civil service and decentralisation Ms Lebranchu, at her request, will co-chair the meeting together with Ms Georgieva, vice-president of the European commission, and commissioner in charge of human resources and budget. We are sorry about the inconvenience this may cause and hope that most if not all will still be able to attend.

The meeting will take place at the Crowne Plaza hotel – 3, rue Gineste, 1210 Brussels. It will start at 09:00 with a one hour TUNED preparatory meeting.

The official invitation, meeting agenda and related document (final draft recommendations for a quality administration for adoption) are available in the meeting documents section. A revised draft text on workers’ rights to information and consultation should be available following the drafting group meeting on 8 April ( Brussels).

For those who need a hotel reservation : I would like to call your attention to the necessity to book your hotel fast. At the same period in Brussel there will be the “seafood trade fair” which is an event with draws a lot of people and affects hotel pricing making it very difficult to find an hotel room. We recommend that you use web-based booking such as booking.com and also consider bed and breakfast options. Please let Diane ([email protected]) know whether you will attend the preparatory and working group meetings by return email or by 1 April (no joke) at the very latest. The Commission asks to have the participants’ list 3 weeks ahead, registrations received after the deadline will not be taken into account for Commission reimbursement of expenses.
