Unpaid trainees at the Council

10.1.2018

Question for written answer E-000114-18
to the Council
Rule 130
Siôn Simon (S&D)

In its answer to Written Question E-004125/2016, provided in July 2016, the Council detailed the number of unpaid trainees which it had taken on during the traineeship period from February to June 2016. It revealed that during this period there were 14 individuals working in the Council on an unpaid traineeship contract.

Can the Council confirm whether this is a typically sized cohort? In order to make a better comparison, can it provide data on paid trainees at its General Secretariat?
