Personnel Unit

The Directorate-General for External Policies (DG EXPO) is made up of four directorates: Committees, Regions (covering interparliamentary delegations), Resources and Democracy Support.

Staff of DG EXPO form a European team of advisers supporting the European Parliament's President and political bodies in their work on the EU's external policies.

Colleagues in DG EXPO provide advice on matters of substance and procedure, liaise with other EU institutions and manage resources. The focus is on legislation, parliamentary oversight of the European Commission and EEAS, and support for parliamentary democracy. Most of the work is done in Brussels.

We are the Personnel Unit of DG EXPO

Our mission is to provide bespoke Human Resources services to DG EXPO management and staff, including filling vacancies, staff movement, learning and development opportunities, career guidance for colleagues and any additional HR support, such as logistics and business trips management.
