The five fields in question are technology and information, natural resources and the environment, corporate law and transnational crime, management and human resources as well as economy and business.

Regarding the parties who will fill the post of staff, Alex emphasized that they would not be recruited to become the state civil apparatus (ASN). Those who fill these positions will be contract workers who will be recruited through a transparent process.
