you have to go to the buergeramt in frankfurt with a letter from your landlord
Does anyone know how/where to register with the German authorities wrt taxes, social security, etc. when doing the trainee? Thanks in advance
No, I mean the tax authorities, social securitiy such as unemyployment that you have to pay when earning more than €450 - not the housing situation.
You don't have to pay social security if working at the ecb and if you get above the reporting threshhold for taxes you report your income to the finanzamt where you live in your tax filing.

I have a question regarding the PhD traineeship grant. What is the deal when they say that "Trainees who are entitled to receive a payment comparable to the traineeship grant from a party other than the ECB during the traineeship shall, where such comparable payment as declared to DG/H under Article 6(1)(d) is lower than the traineeship grant, be entitled to receive the difference."?
Does this include PhD scholarships and TAing, for example? I heard some people from an Italian university receiving simultaneously this grant and their scholarship, but I am wondering whether this is even legal?

I guess it is pretty standard to do this... not sure that a scholarship is a "comparable payment" whatsoever

PhD scholarship shouldn't be an issue, you can confirm with HR to be sure.

Yes, it includes these kind of grants. Scholarships as well as TA/RA payments are not compatible with ECB traineeship grant.

Good to know, I will let my Italian friends know this! Oh wait, they already did it with no problems whatsoever...
Hi! Trainee in DG-Statistics here. Is there any possibility to receive a short term contract instead of a renewal of the traineeship?Yes, it happens quite often. And you could have renewals up to 3 years in a row, then cool off period of 1 year and finally restarting 3 years and going ahead.
That's wrong. You can't be renewed directly after a one-year short-term contract but need to wait the 4 months cool-down period.

well actually you could have an extenction dircetly. otherwise cool off period (1/3 of the period you had the contract), and the game can restart easily.
People in banking supervision, enteres as trainee in 2016, are still playing this game for example.
i am very curious to know if it is something compliant with the law: i mean, this people are called without any selection, just because they know people within the Institution.
Not clear to me also the reserve list story: someone from reserve list could be called for short term contract many times, so you could be called a first time, expiring your short term contract, then after the cool off being recalled.

I don't get what you're saying but please check their staff rules on pages 6 and 7: https://www.ecb.europa.eu/careers/pdf/staff_rules_shortterm.pdf. Also reserve lists are only applicable for fixed-term vacancies.

Whom? ECB? Did he inform the HR office about his/her double salary? I don't think so, probably your Italian friend didn't say nothing. But feel free to give me his/her name, I will double check with him/her and HR ;-) As said above there are a lot of things that many ECB trainees do (e.g. not declaring the ECB grant in the income statement to avoid taxation) and are not legal. It is up to your risk appetite decide what to do.

Do you know that now ecb found out that some short terms in 2020 took the accommodation allowance even if they came back home due to covid, so basically gaining an extra salary of Eur 1,250 since they immediately left their accommodation in Frankfurt? They started a sort of moral suasion for recovering the amount
