  2. Correct answer: B

    The Ombudsman is elected for a 5-year renewable term by the EU Parliament.

    The #Ombudsman deals with complaints and carries out inquiries into cases of alleged maladministration in the activities of the EU institutions, bodies, offices and agencies, except the CJEU.

    Currently the position is held by an Ombudswoman, Teresa Anjinho, whose offices are in Brussels and Strasbourg.

    Some context that I explained at the start of this #EPSOprep series:
    I am studying for an exam about the EU, that would allow me to become a civil servant. It's called the #EPSO, which stands for European Personnel Selection Office.
    This year they are organising the first exam for "generalists" since 2019, and 170k people signed up. So I am making content out of my efforts to prepare, so sometimes I get real niche...

  21. Which one of the following policy areas is an exclusive competence of the EU?

    #EPSOPrep #EPSO #EULaw

  22. The correct answer here is:
    The European Commission!
    Normally the Commission puts forward a legislative proposal, and then it goes to the Parliament, who makes amendments and votes on passing it or not. After that it goes to the Council for a final vote.

    However, the Parliament can call on the Commission to make a legislative proposal. An example of this is “the right to disconnect ” which Parliament called for and Commission is now working on.

  24. The correct answer is… 🥁
    9th of May is the anniversary of the Schuman Declaration.
    More about that here: european-union.europa.eu/princ

    What I find kind of funny is that this always really triggers the Russian trolls. See, we celebrate the end of WWII on 8th of May, but because of time difference, the Russians celebrate their victory day on 9th May.
    And we always get a bunch or Russian trolls on the EU socials about this matter.

    🚛 20000 units / 10 units = 2000.
    Shipping cost = 2000 x 8 USD = 16000 USD

    Priority Bonus:
    4 000 000 USD x 0.5% = 20 000 USD

    3️⃣ Calculate ⚓️ and 🚛 revenues:

    ⚓️ 4 000 000 USD - 4 000 USD = 3.996 million USD

    🚛 4 000 000 USD - 16 000 USD + 20 000 USD = 4.004 million USD
