From the HR management viewpoint, through the mobility procedures laid down in article 3, paragraph 67, of law no. 350 of 24 December 2003 (the 2004 finance law), on 1 st June 2005, those members of staff who were seconded and/or temporary at AGCOM, complying with requirements provided for by the law itself became permanent. Open competitions launched last year are still in progress, whereas new competitive examinations (aimed also at the strengthening of AGCOM’s headquarters in Naples) have been announced for the fixed-term recruitment of: no. 1 statisticalinformation technologist, for the activities to be carried out for the project to define techniques to collect data on ratings; no. 1 unit for the position of Administration and Personnel Service Head; no. 1 unit for the position of Head of the Department for Studies, Research and Training. Pursuant to provision, among others, of the above-mentioned regulation as set forth in article 3, paragraph 67 of law no. 350 of 24 December 2003, AGCOM adjusted the rules regulating fixed-term contract staff to the provisions included in legislative decree no. 368 of 6 September 2001. Considering the current staff structure of 320 employees, in addition to 15 assigned by law no. 215 of 20 July 2004 concerning conflict of interests, as at 31 May 2006, AGCOM’s total staff in office amounted to 254 units, to be divided according to their qualification and type of contractual relationship (Table 4.1.). Table 4.1 AGCOM’s Staff as at 31 May 2006 Staff as at 31 May 2006 Grade Permanent (Ruolo) Seconded (Comando)/ Temporarily moved from other civil service bodies Fixed-term contract Total Managers 13 6 2 21 Officials 97 2 28 127 Operating staff 59 8 18 85 Executive staff 19 1 1 21 Total staff 254 Source: processing by AGCOM The process under way to reorganize offices and recruiting procedures requires the planning of the policies for human resources management, in order to carry out the rational allocation of the resources themselves according to criteria based on skills and merit. In the reference period, in order to guarantee the continuous growth of the existing skills, AGCOM intensified its training programmes and refresher courses, allocating more resources and entering into an agreement with the Scuola Superiore della Pubblica Amministrazione (a national cultural and training school for senior civil servants) to start specific programmes and a three-year plan of training, which chime in with the needs of staff and AGCOM’s strategic goals. In the arrangement of such Plan, contents and teaching techniques have been identified which will be adopted in line 248
with the institutional actions to spread the training methods of the Observatory of the Scuola Superiore della Pubblica Amministrazione. In particular, within the training path adopted, permanent training activities have been identified and also specific teaching initiatives have been devised and organized based on the various areas of responsibility. Fruitful contacts have been established with other civil service training institutions and schools (such as, for instance, Formez and Istituto Guglielmo Tagliacarne), as well as with Universities in order to launch joint efforts through special agreements within the scope of general policy agreements already entered or to be entered into (cf. paragraph 3.5.). 4.2. THE ETHICAL COMMITTEE The Ethical Committee is in charge of ascertaining the correct application and ensuring the compliance with ethical and behavioural standards set forth in the Ethical Code. It is composed of three members of well-known independence and moral reliability chosen by AGCOM’s Council. The Ethical Committee is chaired by professor Leopoldo Elia, President Emeritus of the Constitutional Court, and members are Pasquale De Lise, former President of a Section of the Council of State and currently President of the Regional Administrative Court of Lazio, and Riccardo Chieppa, President Emeritus of the Constitutional Court. The Ethical Committee carries out its responsible activity of assessment, inspection, in-depth analysis and proposal, both as a matter of course, and upon request of AGCOM’s Council. It identifies criteria and expresses approaches aimed at settling specific practical issues. The Committee performs its duties according to provisions set forth in the Ethical Code (resolution no. 18/98 and amendments thereto) which applies to employees and consultants. With reference to AGCOM’s members, duties of the Ethical Committee are carried out by AGCOM’s Council itself upon the Committee’s advice, in compliance with provisions set forth in resolution no. 17/04/CONS. In the year under examination, as it has already occurred in the past, the Committee answered promptly and exhaustively to the questions put by AGCOM’s President and Council, providing assessments and proposals in the sensitive field of behavioural ethics.
