conditions ofemployment forBtaff paid from theresearch and investment
appropriations *
Although theproposal wasexamined indetail atalllevels within theCouncil ,
itproved impossible toreach agreement onallpoints *
Thenewproposal takes account ofthemain views emerging from these discussions
andattempts toreconcile theneed toguarantee satisfactory operation ofthe
research departments with thedesire toretain thelegal framework ofthe
Conditions ofEmployment ofOther Servants oftheCommunities while respecting
acquired rights *
Thenewprovisions areexplained below *
è
I*ARTICLE 1oftheproposal
Article 1(Conditions ofEmployment )~–l––– r
This Article abolishes thecategory ofestablishment staff oftheJRC*
Thepurpose oftheCommission 'sproposal istoextend theconditions of
employment oftemporary staff toinclude establishment staff paid from the
research appropriations ,with allowance made forcertain special provisions *
Thereason forabolishing this category istheneed toputanendtothemost
serious forms ofdiscrimination they suffer ,which have often hadanadverse
effect ontheworking atmosphere andhence ontheefficient operation ofthe
Centre * '

-2- IX/1726/75-E
Thesolution proposed also affects local staff paid from theresearch
appropriations ,whomust beconsidered together with establishment staff
asregards both theduties they perform andthesalary arrangements currently
applying tothem *
Article 2
Thenewparagraph (d)isdesigned tomake itpossible tofill apermanent
pest temporarily –butforaperiod long enough tomeet research requirements#
Article 4
Deletion ofthefinal paragraph ofthis Article isconsequential upon the
removal oftheestablishment staff category from Article 1*
Article 8
Theproposal here istolaydown themaximum period ofemployment oftemporary
staff paid from theresearch and investment appropriations .
Thefirst indent applies toCategory AorBstaff engaged toperform scientific
ortechnical duties *Since themaximum period ofemployment atpresent under
thesecond paragraph ofArticle 8oftheConditions ofEmployment ofOther
Servants isthree years ,provision must bemade foralonger period totake
account oftheduration oftheprogrammes involved and atthe same time ensure
that temporary staff canhave their contracts renewed intheinterests ofthe
service .
The second indent will make itpossible toconclude contracts foranindefinite
period with Category AorBstaff performing administrative duties andwith
Category CorDstaff .Thenature oftheduties involved (they arenot
affected bychanges ofsubstance intheprogrammes )justifies this measure •
