HR Report 2014 (covering the year 2013) 
 
 
 
Ethics-related queries are very diverse. More than 3 100 
requests for authorisations were submitted in 2013, most 
of which were dealt with directly by the official’s DG as 
the Appointing Authority (e.g. requests to engage in outside 
activities while in active service or requests to accept 
gifts). In other cases, DG HR was the Appointing Authority (e.g. for declarations of 
occupational activities after leaving the service) or had to give its approval (e.g. for 
outside activities during leave on personal grounds).
