Results of EU exam shows civil servants have little knowledge of CAP policy

Half of the 568 civil servants working for the Agriculture Restructuring and Modernization Agency (ARiMR) failed EU Common Agriculture Policy (CAP) knowledge exam. The next group will sit the exam on Thursday. "I did not expect the result to be so poor. I guess the people who sat the exam simply did not take it seriously," said Henryk Grocholski in charge of the team supervising the work of the agency. The test consisted of 30 questions organized in different sets and the pass mark of correct questions was 18 (60%). Those who failed will have to re-sit the exam before the end of January. In case of repeated failure they may examined by a special commission and if fail again then they could lose their jobs. (Rzeczpospolita, p. A5) J.K
