EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM
Proposal foraCouncil Regulation adjusting theweightings applicable
tothe remuneration and ,pensions ofofficials and other servants of
theEuropean Communities (Article 65(2 )oftheStaff Regulations )
Since July 1971 "theCouncil hasmade interim cost ofliving adjustments
onthebasis both ofArticle 65(2 )oftheStaff Regulations andofthe
salaries adjustment methods adopted on23March 1972 and 29June 1976 .
Thesalaries adjustment method adopted on15December 1981 confirms and
clarifies thedetailed rules forinterim adjustments .
TheCommission 'sStatistical Office ,inconjunction with theOECD and
theUNStatistical Office ,have established statistics forthe
reference period .
Cost–of–living index numbers for 31December 1981 (June 198O =100)for
thevarious countries ofemployment are set outincolumn 1ofthe table
below .
This year ,thesubstantial rise inthecost ofliving inmost countries
ofemployment once again creates theneed toadjust remunerations in
themiddle ofthereference period fortheannual review .Without
these adjustments ,theequivalence ofpurchasing power towhich all
officials areentitled under Article 64oftheStaff Regulations would
manifestly belost .
Thethreshold of55%oftheaverage change inthecost ofliving inthe
Community fortherelevant period is3%•Since this threshold hasbeen
exceeded inBelgium ,weightings forallplaces ofemployment aretobe
adjusted .Aprovisional portion of1.5%isdeducted inaccordance with
themethod from each oftheindex numbers set outincolumn 1ofthe
table ,since thepurchasing power ofpublic service salaries during the
reference period isexpected todecline byabout 2/fom Only therates
setoutincolumn 2ofthetable aretherefore proposed .

Theeffective date for theadjustments produced bythis method will be
1January 1982 ,except incountries with high rates ofinflation ,where
anearlier date isdetermined soastoobtain aloss ofpurchasing power
corresponding tothethreshold (column 3)«
Articles 2and 3oftheattached proposal foraRegulation laydown the
newadjusted weightings ,applicable with effect from 1or16November 1981
or1January 1982 ,asthecase maybe.
Article 1oftheproposal sets outtheretrospective adjustments which
must bemade totheweighting for the Lebanon onthebasis ofstatistics
which have nowbecome available forearlier reference periods .
