Article 1 General provisions
These Staff Regulations shall apply to employees recruited under contract by the European Union Satellite Centre (hereinafter referred to as ‘employees’ and ‘the Centre’ respectively), except where the Board has taken decisions to the contrary in respect of hors grade personnel.
The term ‘employee’ covers the following natural persons:
staff members, who hold contracts with the Centre and occupy budget posts listed in the table of staff members annexed each year to the Centre’s budget;
local staff, who hold contracts with the Centre under the local national legislation.
Any reference in these Staff Regulations to a person of the male sex shall be deemed also to constitute a reference to a person of the female sex, and vice-versa, unless the context clearly indicates otherwise.
The table of staff members annexed to the budget of the Centre shall indicate the number of posts in each category and grade.
The table of staff members shall differentiate between permanent posts and temporary posts. Permanent posts are posts relating to the core tasks of the Centre and to tasks of a permanent nature. Temporary posts are posts attached to projects or activities of limited duration.
The Director of the Centre is authorised to make amendments of a technical nature to these Staff Regulations which do not amount to a modification of the fundamental principles laid down in these Staff Regulations, with the assent of the Board.
