Thus, the DGE will evaluate these candidates in accordance with part six of article seven of the DGE Methodology, which states that a candidate’s absence from the interview, regardless of the reasons, does not prevent the Advisory Group from conducting an evaluation and determining their compliance with the criterion of high moral qualities.
"The Advisory Expert Group plans to promptly complete the evaluation of all candidates' compliance with the criterion of high moral qualities and announce decisions regarding them in the near future," the statement says.
