In the last 24 hours before the deadline for applications for competition EPSO/AD/427/26 on 10 March 2026 at 12:00 (midday, Brussels time), EPSO received a high number of queries, mainly from candidates who encountered issues with the submission of their application. We are currently replying to each and every candidate who submitted a complaint before the deadline, after carefully analysing their individual situation. We kindly ask you not to send any reminders. 

If you contacted us after the deadline, we remind you that it is stipulated in the Notice of Competition that candidates who encounter technical issues must contact EPSO immediately and in any case before the deadline for applications (see 7.1.2 of the Annex 1 “General rules”). Therefore, we regret to inform candidates who contacted us after the deadline with requests linked to issues encountered with the submission of the application, that those requests will not be considered. These candidates will receive a reply in this sense.

We hope this clarifies the situation and thank you for your understanding and your patience.
