This first issue of ECHO in 2024 gives us the opportunity to wish you and your families happiness and success. 
The end-of-year holidays are now over! And, as every year on this occasion, the Staff Association will be coming to meet you to inform you about current issues. 
In 2024, the topics discussed will again be diverse and varied. We plan to hold a public meeting on regular basic to inform you on issues of specific importance to us.
The exchange with you during these meetings is essential for us.
We would also like to remind you that the Staff Association represents all members of the personnel Employed and Associated (MPE and MPA) in the discussions with the Management and the Member States. So, do not hesitate to contact your staff representatives to enrich the debate by giving them your views on those issues or on any other subject.
And don’t forget to come in large numbers to our public meetings!
