🇬🇧 English

This decree modifies the earlier February 2026 order that launched recruitment competitions for customs controllers. It reduces the total number of positions offered in the “customs sailor – watch leader” specialty from the previously announced figure to exactly 10 places for 2026. These 10 positions are split equally between external competition (5 places) and internal competition (5 places). Additionally, the decree shortens the written examination period by removing one day: the external competition tests originally scheduled for 7–8 July 2026 are now only on 7 July, while the internal competition tests originally set for 8–9 July are now only on 8 July. The change is purely administrative and aims to adjust the recruitment schedule and capacity for maritime surveillance staff within French customs.
