CSAIO2 CAPOI2 Conference of Staff Associations of International Organisations Conférence des associations du personnel des organisations internationales Conference Proceedings Actes de la Conférence 25 & 26 October/Octobre 2001 CERN 2 Conference of Staff Associations of International Organisations CSAIO2 Foreword and Acknowledgements The 2nd Conference of Staff Associations of International Organisations (CSAIO2) was held at CERN, in Geneva, on October 25th and 26th, under the aegis of the CERN Staff Association. This was the second occasion for staff representatives of international organisations to gather and discuss topics of common interest (the 1st Conference was held at the OECD, in Paris). In all, there were 49 participants from 24 organisations with headquarters or main offices in Europe. The four “families” of international organisations were represented: the United Nations’ Common System organisations, the Co-ordinated Organisations, the financial and scientific organisations. Both the smaller and the larger organisations sent representatives and this diverse participation was one of the keys to the success of the Conference. Another element in the success of the Conference was the Conference Dinner. Held on site, in one of CERN’s restaurants, this dinner was a unique opportunity for the staff representatives to become acquainted better in an informal atmosphere. Yet another key element in the success of the Conference was the quality of the speakers and of the discussion session that took place after each set of presentations. It is very unfortunate that, because of limited resources, it was not possible to prepare summaries of these discussions to be included in these proceedings. However, we plan to make the recordings of these discussions available in the form of audio files. We will keep the participants informed of the availability of these files (some access and security issues still need to be addressed). Last but not least, in addition to the Conference itself, the participants were invited to tour CERN’s installations and to discover the impressive machines and detectors needed to study elementary particles and their interactions. This Conference could not have been possible without the hard work and dedication of many people: Sonia Casenove, Gunilla Santiard and Assette Meille in the CERN Staff Association Secretariat; Daniel Boileau and Patrick Gilbert de Vautibault, conference room operators; and the members of the Staff Association’s Executive Committee. The 3rd Conference will be held at EBRD, in London, in the Autumn of 2002. All those who participated in the 2nd Conference certainly look forward to it, and to the continuation of this series of conferences.

Welcome by Jean-Pol Matheys, President of the CERN Staff Association Chers Collègues, Dear Colleagues, Au nom du personnel du CERN et de l’Association du personnel du CERN je vous souhaite la bienvenue au CERN. Nous sommes très heureux de pouvoir organiser aujourd’hui cette 2ème Conférence des associations et syndicats représentant le personnel des organisations internationales. Nous vous remercions d’être venu aussi nombreux. C’est un plaisir pour nous que de voir ici réunis les représentants du personnel de plus de vingt organisations internationales qui sont basées en Europe ou qui ont des bureaux en Europe. Welcome everyone. We are very pleased to have you all here representing over twenty international organisations based in Europe. This is the second Conference in what we hope is going to be a long series of conferences. The first one was organised by our colleagues at OECD last year in Paris and we already know that our colleagues from EBRD will organise the next one in a year from now, in London. This conference is to have a successor and we are very pleased with that. In organizing this Conference, we have benefited greatly from the help of our colleagues from OECD, and their experience in organizing the first Conference. In fact, we worked in a “Troïka” with colleagues from both OECD and EBRD, in particular to determine the three topics to be covered in the three sessions of the Conference. We regret that, as we had announced in Paris last year, we cannot offer the interpretation of the presentations or discussions. This is simply because CERN does not have an in-house interpretation service and that whenever interpretation is needed CERN calls upon outside interpreters. The costs involved are high and the CERN Staff Association could not cope with them. We hope that this will not be too much of a hindrance though. We have organized a Conference Dinner, this evening, in the restaurant right next to where we are now. We believe that this Dinner will be a nice, informal opportunity for all the participants to continue the discussions of the day, to discuss other topics, and to exchange further information. It will also be an occasion to better know one another. I have spoken enough already, and I’d like now to give the floor to Jan van der Boon, the Director of Administration of CERN. B. Welcome by Jan van der Boon, Director of Administration, CERN Chairman, Ladies and Gentlemen, It is a great pleasure for me, as Director of Administration, to welcome you at CERN and to say a few words at the opening of the second Conference of the Staff Associations of International Organisations. This second conference is held at a special moment. The terrible events in America will have – and have already – a deep impact on the world and the relations between nations.
