It makes EU wonder!

An e-mail forwarded to us. A little reminder of the arrogance of the organisation we are up against.

Dear Mr *****,

It must be underlined that there is currently no disciplinary hearing or procedure. Neither is there a procedure "towards or against" Mr. Jones.

The administration has investigated the facts and the Appointing Authority, which is the Director general of ADMIN, will consider if and, if so, what measures have to be taken.

Best regards,

Valérie Rampi

Dear Mr *****,
The Commission has opened the formal investigation of this process. The matter will be dealt appropriately once we have the results of the investigation.

We understand that the official concerned has acknowledged that this e-mail was inappropriate and will send an apology to Metric Martyrs.

The views expressed were of a private nature and certainly do not reflect the views of the Commission.
Best regards,

Valérie Rampi
