1. Nature of the tasks

Unit B.2 "Implementation of the Regulatory Framework" is one of the five Units of Directorate B "Electronic Communications Networks & Services" in DG CNECT, at the forefront of the upcoming connectivity revolution through next generation technologies throughout Europe.

Overall, we are a young, enthusiastic and very committed team of about 20 colleagues with different backgrounds. More generally, we monitor regularly market and regulatory developments in national electronic communication markets and report about our findings through the Digital Economy and Society Index (DESI) report. We are also responsible for the Roaming Regulation to ensure that European end-users benefit from roaming services in the internal market without surcharges. We are in constant contact with national authorities and promote best practices among them in particular within BEREC and the Communications Committee, both under our responsibility as well. Unit B.2 is responsible for enforcement of single market rules in the electronic communications sector, a cross-cutting priority in the new Commission's political guidelines.

We offer a highly interesting position as a Policy Officer/Country Desk Officer in the area of electronic communications for a colleague who will proactively contribute to the implementation of the new European Electronic Communications Code just adopted, thereby contributing to the implementation of a new and important part of the Digital Single Market in Europe, as well as to the ongoing Review of the Roaming Regulation. As a member of the roaming team, you will contribute to the preparation of a legislative proposal following the recent Roaming Review, including analysis of data, impact assessment, monitoring/reviewing the functioning of the roaming market under the supervision of the Head of Sector/Head of Unit.

1 These mentions are given on an indicative basis only (Art.4 of the SNE Decision).

Version 09-2019 As a Country Desk Officer responsible for one or more Member States you will interact with all major stakeholders and act as the DG’s interface on the connectivity part of the Commission’s annual DESI Report. The work entails regular contacts with Member States, regulatory authorities, market players, users and industry associations and offers the opportunity to travel and represent the Commission in annual fact-finding missions and various other fora.

You will be following regulatory and market developments in those countries, drafting country chapters as part of the DESI Report, analysing and reporting on the implementation of the EU framework, preparing infringement proceedings or assisting in the interpretation of EU rules via preliminary questions directed by national courts to the European Court of Justice, where appropriate. Topics you will follow up include the implementation of net neutrality rules, roaming, 112 single European Emergency number, among others.

The work in CNECT.B.2 is highly dynamic and far from routine, as tasks of the Unit are wide-ranging: monitoring developments of telecom markets in specific Member States and across the EU, briefing management on new and pending issues, assessing the impact of EU legislation on electronic communications markets, reporting on the implementation of EU legislation in Member States, carrying out infringement proceedings, contributing to the work of the Communications Committee as well as BEREC.

Maintaining contacts with the operators, government authorities and other interested parties is important. Although we strive that workload is well distributed and is manageable, punctually you should be capable of working under pressure and tight deadlines.

The candidate should have a capacity to quickly acquire new competences, whenever necessary. The job requires excellent organisational and communication skills as well as a high degree of flexibility. We expect the candidate to have proven team player skills, to take initiative and be able to work independently as appropriate.

DG CNECT applies a policy of equal opportunities and diversity. DG CNECT is at the forefront of well-being in the Commission with various activities for good health, stress management and interpersonal relationships.

1. Nature of the tasks

Unit H5 in DG Competition (DG COMP) investigates state measures facilitating aggressive tax planning in particular by big multinationals. These involve tax rulings (as for example in the closed cases of Apple, Amazon, Engie, Fiat and Starbucks and ongoing cases such as Ikea, Huhtamäki and Nike) and tax schemes such as the Belgian excess profit scheme. The cases are investigated ex-officio and involve interesting and challenging issues relating to taxation and the corporate structures of large multinationals. The fight against tax avoidance is a clear priority for the current Commission, therefore the use of competition policy tools to ensure that companies pay their fair share of tax remains in the spotlight. In fact, the inquiry into tax rulings of all Member States, which was first initiated in 2014, was recently renewed. Close contacts are kept with DG TAXUD and the OECD in order to ensure alignment of state aid case work and legislative initiatives of the Commission. The work is furthermore embedded in broader discussions on combatting aggressive tax planning within the OECD and G20.
