Answer to a written question – Burden of mainstreaming efforts in the Commission and Member States – E-003080/2024(ASW)

1. The Commission does not have the data on the number of FTEs (full-time equivalents) working on mainstreaming climate, biodiversity, digital, sustainable development and gender equality.

At the moment, the information recorded in the human resources systems, does not cover mainstreaming as a heading or possibility to quantify in terms of jobs, staff or FTEs. Therefore, it is impossible to quantify or even estimate the number of FTEs currently working on mainstreaming the subjects you mention.

2. The Commission does not have the necessary data to reply to the question.
