GROUNDS
Council Decision No. 3139/82 of 22 November 1982 amending  
the tables of basic salaries laid down in Regulation No. 371/82 and  
No. 372/82 and adjusting, with effect from 1 April 1980, the  
weightings applicable to remuneration and pensions payable in the  
various countries of employment has required the institutions to  
effect considerable back-dated salary payments while at the same  
time increasing the basic monthly salaries.
These additional payments which are the financial entitlement  
of the Members of the Court of Auditors and were not foreseen on  
the drawing up of the 1983 budget, make it necessary to increase  
the appropriations of items 1000 and 1001 and of Article 101.
Since this Council Decision also affects the Members'  
temporary allowances the Court feels compelled to request that  
Article 102 be increased given that one Member of the Court was  
already replaced in April 1983 as will be three other Members in  
.October 1983. The initial appropriations allocated to this article  
only covered the temporary allowances for three Members of the Court  
over a two-month period.

GROUNDS
Since it has not been possible to fill vacant posts  
by means of promotion, inter-institutional transfer, internal  
competition or transfer, particularly in the Language Service,  
the Court has had to proceed to the stage of inter-institutional  
and open competitions.
The travel expenses and subsistence allowances of the  
candidates convened to take part in the written and oral tests  
of these competitions are borne by the Court of Auditors.
Taking into account the number of candidates admitted to the 
tests, the travel expenses for the various competitions may  
be estimated as follows:
ECU
Open competition CC/LA/16/82 14 500
Open competition CC/LA/18/82 7 500
Inter-institutional competition CC/LA/5/83 3 000
Inter-institutional competition CC/LA/4/83 3 000
Joint competition C5/4:  contribution of the Court 17 000
Total 45 000
The 8 297 ECU in appropriations available at 31 August 1983  
under Article 120 are to cover the expenses arising from  
recruitments effected up until the end of the financial  
year 1983.
