  • DG Education & Culture ‒ EAC Martine Reicherts (Luxembourg) DG Environment ‒ ENV Daniel Calleja Crespo (Spain)
    On the 1st of September, a major reshuffle of Directors-General in the European Commission took place, following an announcement in June. As well as a change in Secretary-General, the head of the European Commission civil service, several Directors-General have moved around or been promoted. The Commission is simultaneously attempting to increase the number of women in high-level positions and reduce its staff numbers by 5%. However the important DG for Justice and Consumers still remains without a chief. Directors-General are the chief civil servants within the Commission, each heading a policy department. As such they work closely with the relevant Commissioner, whom they often outlast, and have a major impact on EU policy-making. The reshuffle was initiated by Commission President Jean-Claude Juncker, and completes the institutional transition started last year with a new college of Commissioners. Please see DeHavilland EU's PeoplePoint site for more information on Commission officials.
