A question to our readers
Last week at the BSC, Benoit Durand and myself were asked a question that we could not answer.
Does any formal EU act govern the appointment, mission and duties of the Chief Economist? If so, is this act available and where?
Our best guess was that there must be something, as for the decision setting out the function and terms of reference of the hearing officer (see here). But given that we had never seen it, we guessed that it was not publicly available.
We promised we’d do our best this week to get ahold of it.
So if any reader has it or knows how to get it, please let us know.

I think the mandate is the OJ notice for the post? So for Mr Motta it would be the notice at OJ 2013/C 33 A/01. The first mandate is quoted here: http://ec.europa.eu/dgs/competition/economist/officechiefecon_ec.pdf
