COM(83) 538 final

EXPLANATION
The reason for the request for an increase in the appropriations entered 
in chapter 10, Members of the Institution, is that expenditure has increased 
in three respects.
(1) Since the budgetary estimâtes for the financial year 1983 were drawn 
up, the Council has adopted two régulations adjusting rémunération and 
pensions, namely :
Régulation No. 3139/82 of 22 Noevember 1982 taking account of the 
judgment of the Court of Justice in Case 59/81, Commission v Council,  
and
Régulation No. 440/83 of 21 February 1983 concerning the 1982 annual 
adjustment.
Those two régulations resuit in an increase in basic salaries of 10.481 %. 
The appropriations entered in accordance with the parameters laid down 
by the Commission could not be calculated on that basis and represent 
an increase of only 6.635 %.
For the whole of chapter 10, the relevant additional expenditure, set 
out in the annex hereto, amounts to 93.880 ECU.
(2) The Council régulation of 21 February 1983 increases rémunération and 
pensions with rétroactive effect as from 1 July 1982. The total sum 
of the back-payments for 1982 charged to the appropriations for 1983 
is 47.025 ECU.
(3) Last November a member of the Court of Justice died. The Court is required, 
in accordance with the rules on the émoluments of the members, to pay 
to the surviving spouse the member's rémunération for three months and,
as from March 1983, the survivor's pension, which amounts to 31.200 ECU 
for 10 months.
The table attache hereto analyses the additional expenditure by budget 
heading. The total cost is 172.105 ECU.
The appropriations entered in Chapter 10 for 1983 obviously do not take 
account of the budgetary requirements defined above.
According to current estimâtes, the appropriations still available in 
that chapter will cover a maximum amount of 52.105 ECU.
The shortfall amounts to l') 0.000 ECU, as follows :
90.000 ECU in Item 1000, Basic salaries, and
30.000 ECU in Item 1032, Survivor's pension.
The Court of Justice is therefore obliged to request a ^ransfer of appro­
priations from one chapter to another.
