James Currie
James 'Jim' Currie was appointed to the Board of RBS in November 2001. He serves as International Adviser to Eversheds and a consultant to Butera & Andrews UK Limited. Currie served as Director General at the European Commission as director of Directorate General Environment, Nuclear Safety and Civil Protection, with responsibility for the EU's Environmental Policy and previously Director General for Customs and Indirect Taxation. Mr. Currie is a highly experienced senior international civil servant who spent many years working in Brussels and Washington. He serves as a Director of Total Holdings UK Limited. Mr. Currie served as a Non Executive Director of British Nuclear Fuels PLC since November 2002 until September 30, 2005.[1]
His working with BNFL was brought to discussion at the European Commission in March 2002 by Nuala Ahern, considering the question of integrity and discretion expected from the Commission employees.[2]
After leaving the Commission he prefers, it seems, to be known, more informally, as Jim.[3]
