The Groupement des Anciens du CERN-ESO Pensioners’ Association (GAC-EPA) is attached to the CERN Staff Association (AP).
In the statutes of the Staff Association – Article I.1.3) h) it is written:
“Establishment, within the Association, of a “Groupement des anciens du CERN ─ ESO Pensioners’ Association” (hereafter GAC-EPA) which the beneficiaries of the CERN Pension Fund, former CERN or ESO staff members and eligible beneficiaries of former CERN or ESO staff members, can join.“
The link between the Groupement and the CERN Staff Association has thus been established, enabling members of the GAC-EPA Committee to sit on the Staff Council and participate in the SA’s commissions. This gives Committee members the opportunity to make the voices of Pension Fund beneficiaries and pensioners attached to the CERN Health Insurance Fund (CHIS), in particular, heard.
The number of Committee representatives sitting on the Staff Council has been set at 7 members appointed each year by the Committee – the list of our representatives on the Staff Council is available under ‘Committee members’.
CERN Members of the Groupement des Anciens du CERN-ESO Pensioners’ Association (GAC-EPA) are also members of the CERN Staff Association, with the GAC-EPA paying an annual share of the membership fees to the SA.
More information about the CERN Staff Association is available on the SA website: https://staff-association.web.cern.ch/
