Directorate for Economy and Growth

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.

Within DG ECTI, the Directorate for Economy and Growth is focusing on economic governance, financial markets, competition, taxation, digital transformation and the internal market. The Directorate supports the Committee on Economic and Monetary Affairs (ECON), the Committee on the Internal Market and Consumer Protection (IMCO), and the Subcommittee on Tax Matters (FISC) and provides them with tailor-made expertise and research through a dedicated Policy Department as well as the Economic Governance and EMU Scrutiny Unit.

As you will gather from the description above, we are a very busy Directorate, hard-working, but also with a good team spirit and competent and friendly colleagues.

• Provide research and collect information;
• Coordinate input provided by the Units;

Your competencies include the ability to analyse, manage and organise information; you have very good writing and problem-solving skills, you can work as part of a team and possess interpersonal skills.
