ANNEX TO THE LEGISLATIVE RESOLUTION

Joint statement of the European Parliament and of the Council on the possible mechanisms to ensure the attractiveness of the European Border and Coast Guard Agency

The European Border and Coast Guard Agency is expected to face challenging circumstances in the coming years to fulfil exceptional needs for recruiting, training and retaining qualified staff from the broadest possible geographical basis. In view of the Agency's mandate and the important number of its staff, it is essential to explore mechanisms which would allow to ensure the attractiveness of the Agency as an employer by adapting the remunerations of the staff of the Agency in Warsaw, in accordance with the applicable Union law.

The European Parliament and the Council therefore call upon the Commision to assess the basis and modalities for any such appropriate mechanism, in particular when presenting the proposals for the revision of the Staff Regulations of Officials of the European Union and the Conditions of Employment of Other Servants of the Union, laid down in Council Regulation (EEC, Euratom, ECSC) No 259/68 (1). Any such mechanism shall be proportionate to the importance of the objectives pursued and not give rise to unequal treatment among staff of the Union institutions, bodies, offices and agencies if such Union institutions, bodies, offices and agencies are confronted with a similar situation.
