The year 2002 witnessed a significant increase in the degree of competence of the Authority?s human resources, due to the higher qualification levels of upper and middle management, corresponding to about 76 percent of the total workforce. This change is associated not just to the growing technical and functional demands on the organisation, but also to the functional reclassification and or framing of workers previously ranked in lower qualification levels.

| Upper management | 194 | 194 | 0 | 0,0 |
| Middle management | 82 | 117 | 35 | 42,7 |
