BRUSSELS — The European Commission is considering stationing its officials in EU capitals, speeding up recruitment and getting the institution “AI-ready,” according to a sweeping set of proposals unveiled in an internal meeting Monday.
“There is an appetite for change,” said Piotr Serafin, the commissioner responsible for human resources. “There’s a readiness to reform the Commission … among the staff.”
The potential changes are part of the Commission’s first comprehensive workplace review in two decades. Launched last year, the review aims to make the Commission more efficient and a more attractive employer, with final recommendations due to be presented to President Ursula von der Leyen by the end of 2026.
