COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
COM(85) 205 final
Brussels, 2 May 1985
Proposal for a
COUNCIL REGULATION (ECSC. EEC. EURATOM)
correcting the salary tables and other items of remuneration laid down by  
Regulations (ECSC, EEC, Euratom) No 419/85 and  
(ECSC, EEC, Euratom) No 420/85
(submitted to the Council by the Commission)

EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM
1. Article 65 of the Staff Regulations requires the Council to undertake an  
annual review of the remunerations of officials on the basis of real net changes  
in remunerations in national civil services as measured by the specific  
indicator, and in accordance with the detailed rules for applying Article 65  
spelled out in the method for adjusting the remuneration of officials and other  
servants of the Communities adopted on 15 December 1981.
2. On 19 December 1983 the Council, on the basis of the SOEC annual report  
establishing the specific indicator at - 0.3, adopted a Regulation No 3647/83  
adjusting salary scales with effect from 1 July 1983.
3. At the end of 1984 the SOEC corrected its annual report for 1983, since it  
had been unable to allow for Italian legislation which altered certain elements  
in calculation. The effect of this correction was to raise the specific  
indicator for 1983 to + 0.4. The consequential adjustments to salary scales  
established following the 1983 annual review were made by Council Regulation  
(ECSC, EEC, Euratom) No 419/85 of 18 February 1985.
4. Following a retroactive change in German tax legislation the SOEC has again  
corrected its calculations on the basis of figures supplied by the Federal  
authorities. The final specific indicator for 1983 now stands at + 0.5.
This latest correction represents an additional increase of 0.1% with  
effect from 1 July 1983. It is proposed that it be applied linearly.

PROPOSAL FOR A
COUNCIL REGULATION (ECSC, EEC, EURATOM) No /85  
of
correcting the salary tables and other items of remuneration laid down by  
Regulations (ECSC, EEC, Euratom) No 419/85 and  
(ECSC, EEC, Euratom) No 420/85
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing a Single Council and a Single  
Commission of the European Communities,
Having regard to the Protocol on the Privileges and Immunities of the European  
Communities, and in particular Article 13 thereof,
Having regard to the Staff Regulations of Officials and the Conditions of  
Employment of Other Servants of the European Communities laid down by Regulation  
(EEC, Euratom, ECSC) No 259/68,1 as last amended by Regulation (ECSC, EEC,  
Euratom) No 420/85,2 and in particular Articles 63, 64, 65 and 82 of the Staff  
Regulations and the first paragraph of Article 20 and Article 64 of the  
Conditions of Employment,
Having regard to Council Decision 81/1061/Euratom, ECSC, EEC of 15 December 1981  
amending the method of adjusting the remuneration of officials and other  
servants of the Communities , 3 4
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
4Whereas Regulations (ECSC, EEC, Euratom) No 419/85 and (ECSC, EEC, Euratom)pNo 420/85 were not able to take account of factors arising from certain  
amendments to German legislation affecting civil servants' salaries; whereas  
the effect of these factors could not be estimated before the Regulations were  
adopted;
Whereas the amounts laid down by Regulations (ECSC, EEC, Euratom) No 419/85 and  
(ECSC, EEC, Euratom) No 420/85 should therefore be corrected;
