- Suggested taking up duty  : end third quarter 2012 x

Who we are: Unit B/4 is responsible for economic analysis and impact assessment within DG Enterprise & Industry.
All policy-decisions should be based on sound analysis supported by the best data available. The European Commission has therefore put in place a set of logical steps to be followed when preparing legislative and policy proposals. Services have to collect evidence on the advantages and disadvantages of possible policy options by assessing their potential impacts. The results of this process are summarised and presented in an "Impact Assessment Report" attached to the proposals.
The quality of these IA reports is scrutinised by the "Impact Assessment Board" (IAB), an internal but independent body under the direct authority of the President of the European Commission.
Unit B4 provides, among other things, advice and hands-on assistance to all sector units in DG ENTR having to draft an "IA report". It also supports the Director of DG ENTR appointed to the IAB.

We propose: An interesting and challenging position in a dynamic team which deals with a number of important and sensitive topics touching at various EU policy areas. The expert will, in particular, be part of the team:
- helping to better consult stakeholders within an impact assessment exercise.
- assisting in the development and presentation of training activities.
- providing analytical support* to ENTR units in order to assist them in the application of the Commission's impact assessment guidelines
- preparing briefings on the quality of impact assessments submitted to the IAB.

*What is the nature and scale of the problem, how is it evolving, and who is most affected by it? Should the EU be involved? If so, what objectives should it set to address the problem? What are the main policy options for reaching these objectives? What are the likely economic, social and environmental impacts of those options? How do the main options compare in terms of effectiveness, efficiency and coherence in solving the problems? How could future monitoring and evaluation be organised?

3. Main qualifications :
The candidate must have a university degree, preferably in economics. A fair knowledge of the functioning of European Institutions, European policy making, legislation and regulatory management would be highly appreciated. In addition, the candidate should have very good oral and drafting skills in English. A good knowledge of impact assessment / evaluation methodology as well as of French and German would be considered as an advantage.

4. Languages:
The expert must have a thorough knowledge of one Community language and a satisfactory knowledge of a second language to meet the qualification requirements described above. (see also 3. Main Qualifications, above).
