(2)While neither Regulation (EU) 2017/1939 nor Rule VI of the operating rules of the selection panel specifies which authority is responsible for the drafting, the adoption and the publication in the Official Journal of the European Union of the open call for candidates for the position of European Chief Prosecutor, the Commission was responsible for the drafting, the adoption and the publication of the first open call for candidates and provides the secretariat of the selection panel, which examines the applications.
