31/08/2010 (Agence Europe) - The EP economic and monetary affairs committee is seeking expert advice in economic and monetary policy, financial services, taxation and competition. The framework contracts consist of a maximum of 5 separate contracts per topic area (6 lots), running for four years. The six lots are separated as follows: - economic and monetary policy; - financial services; - taxation; - competition; - impact assessments in economic and monetary affairs (including taxation and competition); - and impact assessments in financial services. This would amount to a maximum number of up to 30 framework service contracts. This kind of services contract is intended to complete rather than replace the current organisation of expertise in the field of ECON committee competence. The deadline for applications is 30 September 2010. For information: poldep-economy-science@europarl.europa.eu. (A.B./transl.jl)
