"Question No 53 by Kathleen Van Brempt (): The Commission encourages officials to move from the private to the public sector and vice versa. It even has arrangements allowing officials to work for a private company for a temporary period. That is a good thing in itself. However, the move by the head of the information policy division to Microsoft raises questions, as the official concerned was involved in the antitrust investigation into the company. The Commission’s spokesman has stated that the official was consulted by the Competition Directorate-General in connection with the investigation. He said that this did not pose a problem, as the person concerned had given assurances in a letter that he would not deal, at Microsoft, with matters being investigated by the Commission. What guarantees does the Commission have that EU officials who go to work in the private sector will not pass on crucial information to their new employers? Do written promises by those concerned provide sufficient guarantees? Does the Commission agree that new rules on the secondment of EU officials are urgently needed? If so, what precise steps does it intend to take?"@en1
