According to the EEAS Country Threat Assessment (CTA), the current rating of the host
country of the Mission is high/critical. Please note that the CTA of the country might change
at any point during the call for contribution cycle. It may have an impact on mission members’
working conditions, including financial and leave entitlements.
High/Critical Threat Non-Family Mission
EUBAM Rafah bears a High/Critical Threat Non-Family Mission status due to the present
threat rating of the mission area as high/critical. As such, international seconded and
contracted mission members shall at no time receive visits or be habitually accompanied by
any family member in the mission area for the duration of their present tour of duty or contract.
Seconded personnel – For seconded positions, only personnel nominations received
through official channels from EU Member States and Invited Third States (Contributing
States) will be considered.
The Mission shall cover the Civilian Response Team (CRT) travel costs to and from the place
of deployment and for any duty travel while on deployment.
Contributing States and EU Agencies will bear all personnel-related costs for seconded
personnel, e.g. salaries and medical coverage (with the exception of the High-Risk insurance),
and allowances other than those paid according to the Council documents ST 7291/09 (10
March 2009), as amended by ST 9084/13 (30 April 2013) and by ST 14108/25 (30 October
2025).
Leave – Due to the temporary nature of CRT assignments to Missions, specific provisions
may apply with regard to status, entitlements, rights and obligations, as well as security
arrangements. Leave arrangements are determined at national level and may therefore vary.
In principle, no leave entitlement is foreseen during CRT deployments; any leave taken during
the deployment shall be considered an interruption of service, and the related travel costs
shall be borne by the sending EU Member State or by the expert concerned.
Tour of duty – The initial duration of the deployment should be up to 3 months, with a
possible extension subject to the adoption of the Council Decision extending the Mission
mandate and approving the appropriate Budgetary Impact Statement as well as operational
needs.
Location of Seconded Experts – Mission HQ is in Ramat Gan/Tel Aviv. However, selected
candidates might be requested to carry out duty trips in the West Bank (WB) and to the Rafah
Crossing Point (RCP) in the Gaza Strip. Selected candidates must be authorized to travel in
the WB and to the RCP. The Mission continuously assesses the security situation in the entire
Area of Operations.
The Civilian Operations Commander requests that EU Member States propose candidates for
the following international expert positions for EUBAM Rafah, according to the requirements
and profiles described below:
I. GENERAL CONDITIONS
Citizenship – Candidates must have a citizenship of an EU Member State or of a Contributing
Third State.
Integrity – Candidates must maintain the highest standards of personal integrity, impartiality
and self-discipline within the Mission. Selected candidates are not allowed to provide or
discuss any information or document as a result of access to classified and/or sensitive
information relating to the Mission or respective tasks and activities. They shall carry out their
duties and act in the interest of the Mission.
Flexibility and adaptability – Candidates must be able to work in arduous conditions with a
limited network of support, with unpredictable working hours and a considerable workload.
They must have the ability to work professionally as a member of a team, in task forces and
working groups with mixed composition (e.g. civilian and military staff) and be able to cope
with extended separation from family and usual environment.
Availability – Candidates must be able to undertake any other tasks related with the
competencies, responsibilities and functions of the respective position within the Mission, as
required by the Head of Mission.
Serious deficiencies in any of these general conditions may result in repatriation/termination
of the secondment/contract.
