Article 1 General Conditions
United Kingdom
These Staff Regulations shall apply to employees recruited under contract by the European Union Satellite Centre (hereinafter referred to as ‘employees’ and ‘SATCEN’ respectively), except where the Board has taken decisions to the contrary in respect of the Director and the Deputy Director.
The term ‘employee’ covers the following natural persons:
staff members, who hold contracts with the SATCEN and occupy budget posts listed in the table of staff members annexed each year to the SATCEN's budget;
local staff, who hold contracts with the SATCEN 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 SATCEN 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 activities of the SATCEN having a permanent nature. Temporary posts are posts attached to projects or activities of limited duration.
The Director of the SATCEN 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.
Detailed provisions for the implementation of these Staff Regulations shall, as necessary, be set out in Implementing Rules laid down by the Director, following consultation with the Staff Committee.
