COUNCIL REGULATION (EU) No 1240/2010

of 20 December 2010

adjusting, from 1 July 2010, the rate of contribution to the pension scheme of officials and other servants of the European Union

THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION,

Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,

Having regard to the Staff Regulations of Officials of the European Communities and the conditions of Employment of Other servants of the Communities laid down by Regulation (EEC, Euratom, ECSC) No 259/68 (1), and in particular Article 83a thereof and Annex XII thereto,

Having regard to the proposal from the European Commission,

Whereas:

(1) In accordance with Article 13 of Annex XII to the Staff Regulations, on 1 September 2010 Eurostat submitted a report on the 2010 actuarial assessment of the pension scheme updating the parameters referred to in that Annex. According to this assessment, the rate of contribution required to maintain actuarial balance of the pension scheme is 11,6 % of basic salary.

(2) In the interests of actuarial balance of the pension scheme of officials and other servants of the European Communities, the rate of contribution should therefore be adjusted to 11,6 % of the basic salary,

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

Article 1

With effect from 1 July 2010, the rate of the contribution referred to in Article 83(2) of the Staff Regulations shall be 11,6 %.

Article 2

This Regulation shall enter into force on the day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.

This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States. Done at Brussels, 20 December 2010. For the Council The President J. SCHAUVLIEGE

(7)

No evidence has been presented which would allow the Commission to conclude that having regard to the fair and traditional usage and the actual likelihood of confusion, registration of the name ‘Jihočeská Niva’ as a protected geographical indication would run counter to the provisions laid down in Article 7. According to the evidence presented to the Commission, the term ‘Niva’ was used in a generic way for a type of cheese, within the Czech and Slovak Republic, since tens of years. Moreover, registration of the said name as a protected geographical indication would not require the cancellation or invalidation of the trade marks, since they were applied for prior to the date of submission of the registration application to the Commission, nor hinder continued use of the same. Furthermore, according to the information available to the Commission, the exclusive right of the proprietor of the said trade marks would not entitle him to prohibit a third party from using, in the course of trade and in accordance with honest practices in industrial or commercial matters, an indication concerning geographical origin pursuant to Article 6 of Directive 2008/95/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 22 October 2008 to approximate the laws of the Member States relating to trade marks (3).
