There are currently no staff from my Department seconded to work within the public sector of other EU member states.There are no formal secondment schemes of this nature operated by my Department.

In the past, staff from my Department have participated in the National Experts in Professional Training (NEPT) Programme, managed by the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade, which provides opportunities for secondment to the European Commission.
