This paper offers a novel perspective on the benefits provided by the rotation of administrators within legislative systems, by exploring the Committee Secretariat (CS) of the European Parliament (EP) and their role as a source of information utilised by legislators. Using qualitative interviews, I provide an original outlook on the expertise of the Committee Secretariat after the entrenchment of career mobility practices. I find that the advent of mobility, where administrators are moved into a new position after a set number of years, is altering the culture of the Secretariat away from area specialists and towards greater concentrations of highly adaptable generalists. I provide an account on the functions of mobility and the benefits it provides from encouraging a more encompassing understanding of institutional practices. From gaining a wider knowledge, by working on different committees, administrators may be of greater usefulness to lawmakers.

欧洲议会委员会秘书处：行政流动性、专业知识和保持立法车轮转动

本文通过探讨欧洲议会 (EP) 的委员会秘书处 (CS) 及其作为立法者利用的信息来源的作用，对立法系统内行政人员轮换所带来的好处提出了新的观点。通过定性访谈，我对职业流动实践巩固后委员会秘书处的专业知识提供了原始的看法。我发现流动性的出现，即管理人员在一定年限后被调到新职位，正在改变秘书处的文化，从区域专家转向高度适应的通才更加集中。我提供了关于流动性的功能以及它通过鼓励对制度实践的更全面理解而提供的好处的说明。
