The competitions are now in the request for review stage.

EPSO takes all complaints seriously and is currently carrying out thorough checks on each individual request, in close cooperation with its external service provider, TestWe. This includes complaints related to the non-completion of all tests.

At this stage, it would be premature to indicate how many candidates may be concerned. All cases are being examined individually, and EPSO is committed to reducing delays as much as possible while ensuring that each claim is handled carefully, fairly and in line with the applicable rules.

We will be in a better position to provide further information once the review process has been finalised.
