Article 24 Experts on cost-free secondment

An SNE may be seconded to the Agency as a cost-free SNE during the period of secondment.

Such secondment shall not entail the payment of any allowances or expenses for the Agency except, where appropriate, those provided for in Article 25.

Articles 18, 19 and 20 shall not apply to cost-free SNEs.

Without prejudice to Article 8, the conduct of a cost-free SNE shall always reflect the fact that the cost-free SNE is seconded to the Agency and shall never reflect adversely on their position at the Agency.
