Resources Unit – Post A: HR sector

The Directorate-General for Cohesion, Agriculture and Social Policies (DG CASP) enables parliamentary committees to carry out their legislative, scrutiny and budgetary functions effectively. Trust, integrity and excellence are the driving values of DG CASP. We are an inclusive and agile team, able to respond to the challenges facing Parliament as one of the EU co-legislators.

The core responsibility of DG CASP is to support the committees dealing with regional development, agriculture, rural development, fisheries, transport, tourism, employment, social affairs and housing crisis in the EU. The targeted service we deliver allows committees to better respond to EU priorities and contribute to policies designed to empower EU citizens in an increasingly volatile world. DG CASP provides committees with secretariats and reliable research analysis. Secretariats offer policy expertise, procedural assistance and the necessary technical tools for all committee activities, including legislative and non-legislative work, meetings, public hearings, workshops and missions.

The Resources Unit plays a key role in ensuring the smooth functioning of DG CASP by covering all aspects of resource management. We provide strategic and operational support to the Director-General and all DG CASP teams in the areas of human resources, finance, strategic planning and communication, with the goal of fostering a positive work environment for everyone.

Within the Resources Unit, the HR team oversees human resources management and all relevant procedures, including recruitment and professional development. The finance team deals with the preparation and management of the DG’s budget, including financial initiation and verification of financial transactions and procurement files. The strategy and communication team ensures clear and timely communication across the DG through various channels and different products and helps keep DG CASP’s objectives closely aligned with the strategic priorities and vision of the Parliament.
