Item 11.1

Human Resources Policy –
Reform of contractual policy and appointment procedures

The Representative of the Russian Federation made the following statement:

“On 30 June the Russian Federation put forward a number of proposals designed to rectify the current human resources policy, which is particularly unfair from the point of view of the geographical representation of the member states. Central to these proposals was the idea of greater internal and external mobility within the Organisation, which would pave the way for long-term changes to this unacceptable current situation.

However, these proposals have apparently been jettisoned, since it is proposed that we adopt the new human resources policy today and discuss the Russian Federation’s proposals at the end of the month. This is an obvious attempt to fool us, which we cannot accept. As a result, the only choice that remains to us is to vote against the proposed resolutions in order to express our profound disagreement with the current human resources policy.”

The result of the vote when adopting Resolutions Res(2005)5 to 8 was 36 in favour, 1 against and 3 abstentions.
