Exchange of EU civil servants for improved public services

The exchange of civil servants across the EU could help countries like Ireland improve the quality of its public services and help deal with holdups in planning permission permits.  That’s according to a top EU official who met government officials and Minister Paschal Donohoe (Minister for Public Expenditure and Reform) during his recent visit to Dublin.

Mario Nava is the Commission’s director general for structural reform and support (DG REFORM). It’s the EU body that provides support to member states’ civil services to help them reform and improve the way they operate.  Mr Nava says a new EU initiative could help civil servants across the EU to learn from one another.
