Annex 1

 

 

Low and/or Medium Risk Non-Family Mission

EUBAM Libya currently bears a Medium Risk Non-Family Mission status. The Mission

Headquarters is in Tripoli. For security purposes, Mission Members are obliged to live in restricted areas, where security responsibilities are borne by the Mission. As such, the Mission takes no responsibility for family members of mission members visiting or habitually residing in the country. Only international mission members are covered by the Mission status (Unilateral Declaration of 22 June 2018 of the President of the Presidential Council and the Prime Minister of the Government of National Accord of the State of Libya), MEDEVAC or security/evacuation arrangements and use of Mission assets including vehicles. All costs for family members in the Mission area, including insurance, are the respective staff member responsibility. Subject to deterioration of the security situation and possible evolution of the SIAC risk rating, the Head of Mission will propose, in consultation with the EEAS SecurityDepartment, to the Civilian Operation Commander, to take measures to change the application of the Low and/or Medium Risk Non-Family status into High Risk Non-Family status.

 

Seconded personnel – For seconded positions, only personnel nominations received through official channels from EU Member States will be considered. EU Member States will bear all personnel-related costs for seconded personnel, including salaries, medical coverage, travel expenses to and from the Mission area (including home leave) and allowances other than those paid according to the Council documents 7291/09 (10 March 2009) and 9084/13 (30 April 2013).

 

Contracted personnel – The Mission may recruit international staff on a contractual basis as required through an employment contract. The employment contract with the Mission establishes the conditions of employment, rights and obligations, remuneration, allowances, travel and removal expenses and the applicable high risk insurance policy. 

 

Documents supporting educational qualifications and work experience should be accompanied by certified translations of the original documents in the English language, if issued in another language, in accordance with the European Commission Guidelines for Lifelong Learning, which ensures transparency in higher education and fair and informed judgements about qualifications.

 

Tour of duty/contract period – Subject to the adoption of the Council Decision extending the Mission mandate and approving the appropriate Budgetary Impact Statement, the duration of the deployment should be of 12 months.

Visas – Contributing States and selected candidates must ensure that visas are obtained for entry into the Mission area prior to departure from their home country. It is also essential to obtain any transit visas, which may be required for passage through countries on route to the Mission. 

 

The Mission initiates the visa procedure for Libya for the selected candidates. If they could not obtain a Libyan visa before deployment, the EU citizens shall get to Tunis, they are allowed to stay in the country for 3 months.

Supporting documents will be requested (i.e. scan copy of passport, Libyan visa application form).

 

The issuance of a Libyan visa can be a lengthy process, which is beyond the Mission’s control. This means that it can have a financial impact on the salaries (lower per diem and hardship allowances) of those selected candidates who would be temporarily stationed in Tunis until their visa (or equivalent) is issued and they could be redeployed to Tripoli. 

 

Education diploma(s)/certificate(s) and/or professional certificate(s) – Selected international contracted candidates must have and present to the Mission the university diploma or the professional certificate/diploma, depending on the job description, before signing the contract or taking up their duties.

For both seconded and contracted experts, access to European Union Classified Information (EUCI) will be limited to RESTRICTED until the issuance of their national security clearance. For Contributing Third States selected candidates, an equivalence to access to the required level of EUCI will be delivered on the basis of Security of Information Agreement or Administrative Arrangements with EU or, in their absence, on the basis of the Framework Participation Agreements.

 

Certificate/booklet of vaccination – Selected candidates must be in possession of a valid certificate/booklet of vaccination showing all vaccinations and immunisations received. They also must be vaccinated according to the required immunisations for the Area of Operation of the Mission. 

 

Medical certificate – Selected candidates should undergo an extensive medical examination and be certified medically fit for Mission duty. A dental examination is also required to certify that no eminent dental issues are foreseen. 

 

For selected contracted candidates, in compliance with “Fit to work clearance procedure”, a copy of the result of the medical examinations as well as the fitness to work certificate, for seconded selected candidate, the fitness to work certificate must be sent to the Medical Adviser of the Mission before joining the Mission. Medical data will be handled with confidentiality and in line with EU Charter of Fundamental Rights and the Standard Operating Procedure on the protection of personal data (CivOpsCdr Instruction 12-2018 as amended.)

 

The Heads of Mission reserve the right to reject the recruitment of any selected candidate that proves to be medically unfit to work in a civilian CSDP Mission. 

 

Personal protection equipment – It is recommended that national authorities provide seconded selected candidates with protection equipment.

 

Deficiencies in any of the documents requested for a specific position may result in failure of the selection process.
