Directorate for Transformation, Innovation and Health - Policy Department - Post B

The Directorate-General for Economy, Transformation and Industry (DG ECTI) is responsible for supporting the work of several key parliamentary committees dealing with economic governance, environmental policy, industrial transformation and cybersecurity. As such, it plays a pivotal role in shaping policies related to economic and monetary affairs, taxation, internal market and consumer protection, industry, research and energy, the environment, food safety, and public health.

Furthermore, through the provision of expert analysis and dedicated research services, DG ECTI aims to empower Members of the European Parliament to develop evidence-based policies that address the needs and concerns of European citizens, while also contributing to the effective exercise and development of the Parliament's legislative and scrutiny powers.

Our secretariats produce a range of publications, including fact sheets, notes, briefings, analyses, and studies, either in-house or through public procurement procedures.

In this capacity, Policy Department B supports the work of three standing committees: the Committee on Industry, Research and Energy (ITRE); the Committee on Environment, Climate and Food Safety (ENVI); and the Committee on Public Health (SANT).
