The European Commission in Brussels on October 26, 2026 presented a statement by Commissioner Piotr Serafin on the occasion of the presentation of a high-level group report on the future of the European Commission civil service. According to Serafin, this event marked another important stage in the process initiated by the President of the European Commission, aimed at a comprehensive review of how EU institutions function. The report was prepared by a special high-level expert group tasked with examining the structure, effectiveness, and development prospects of the Commission's civil service. The document is expected to contain recommendations for modernizing personnel policy, improving the efficiency of the administrative apparatus, and adapting the work of the European Commission to contemporary challenges. The initiative fits into a broader agenda of reforming European institutions being advanced by the current Commission leadership. The goal of the reform is to make European bureaucracy more flexible, transparent, and capable of responding promptly to changing political and economic conditions in the European Union. Commissioner Serafin promised to present details of the report's specific proposals and further steps for their implementation in the course of subsequent discussions with member states and EU institutions.
