COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES 
Brussels, 21.06.1996 
COM(96)291 final 
PROPOSAL FOR A 
COUNCIL REGULATION (EC, EURATOM, ECSQ No ...J,. 
laying down the weightings 
applicable from 1 Januaiy 1996 
to the remuneration of officials of the European Communities 
serving in third countries 
(presented by the Commission) 

EXPLANATORY NOTE 
On 5 October 1987, by Regulation No 3019/87, the Staff Regulations were amended by 
the addition of an Annex X laying down special and exceptional provisions, including 
special arrangements for emoluments, applicable to officials of the European Communi­
ties serving in third countries. Articles 11, 12 and 13 of Annex X deal with the 
remuneration of officials posted in countries outside the European Union. Remuneration 
is payable in Belgian francs in Belgium but there is also provision for all or part of an 
official's remuneration to be paid in the currency of the country of employment. 
In that event, the portion of remuneration paid in local currency is subject to a 
weighting. Article 13 of Annex X requires the Council of the European Union to 
determine the weightings for third countries every six months. 
This proposal relates to the adjustment of weightings applicable in third countries with 
effect from 1 January 1996. The budgetary impact is negligible compared with the total 
operating costs of the delegations. 
II. Council of the European Union Regulation (EEC, Euratom, ECSC) No 2175/88 
of 18 July 1988 laid down the initial weightings applicable from 10 October 1987. 
Since then these weightings have been adjusted by the Council of the European Union 
every six months, most recently by Regulation No 579/96 of 25 March 1996 which took 
effect on 1 July 1995. 
The remuneration system for staff serving in countries outside the Community is based 
on equivalent purchasing power for Brussels and the various places of employment. 
Application of this principle is based on the calculation of purchasing power parities 
(PPPs) for local currencies in relation to the Belgian franc. The weighting is the factor 
obtained by dividing the PPP by the exchange rate. This means that implementation of 
a weightings system primarily involves calculating purchasing power parities for 
Brussels and the various places of employment. 
The exchange rates selected for accounting purposes are those for December 1995. 
Table A shows for each place of employment the economic parity calculated by the 
Statistical Office of the European Communities (SOEC) for January 1996, the exchange 
rate selected and the resulting weighting, applicable from 1 January 1996. 
The SOEC has calculated the economic parities for each country shown in Table B. The 
parities used apply from 1 January 1996.

COUNCIL REGULATION (EC, EURATOM, ECSQ No ..../.. 
of..... 
laying down the weightings 
applicable from 1 January 1996 
to the remuneration of officials of the European Communities 
serving in third countries 
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION, 
Having regard to the Treaty establishing a Single Council and a Single Commission of the 
European Communities, 
Having regard to the Staff Regulations of officials of the European Communities and the 
conditions of employment of other servants of the Communities laid down by Regulation 
(EEC, Euratom, ECSC) No 259/681, as last amended by Regulation (EC, Euratom, ECSC) 
No 2963/952 and in particular the first paragraph of Article 13 of Annex X, 
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission, 
Whereas account should be taken of changes in the cost of living in countries outside the 
Community and weightings applicable to remuneration payable in the currency of the country 
of employment to officials serving in third countries should be determined with effect from 
1 January 1996; 
Whereas, under Annex X of the Staff Regulations, the Council sets the weightings every six 
months; whereas it will accordingly have to set new weightings for the coming half-years; 
Whereas the weightings to apply with effect from 1 January 1996 in respect of which payment 
has been made on the basis of a previous regulation could lead to retrospective adjustments 
to remuneration (positive or negative); 
Whereas provision should be made for back-payments in the event of an increase in 
remunerations as a result of these weightings; 
'OJ No L 56, 04.03.1968, p. 1. 
2OJNoL 310, 22.12.1995, p. 1. 
- 2 
Whereas provision should be made for the recovery of sums overpaid in the event of a 
reduction in remunerations as a result of these weightings for the period between 1 January 
1996 and the date of the Council decision setting the weightings to apply with effect from 1 
January 1996; 
Whereas, however, in order to mirror the weightings applicable within the European 
Community to remuneration and pensions of officials and other servants of the European 
Communities, provision should be made for any such recovery to apply solely to a period of 
no more than 6 months preceding the decision and for its effects to be spread over a period 
of no more than 12 months following the date of that decision; 
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION: 
Article 1 
With effect from 1 January 1996, the weightings applicable to remuneration payable in the 
currency of the country of employment shall be as shown in the Annex. 
The exchange rates for the calculation of such remuneration shall be those used for 
implementation of the general budget of the European Communities for the month preceding 
the date referred to in the first paragraph. 
Article 2 
In accordance with the first paragraph of Article 13 of Annex X of the Staff Regulations, the 
Council shall set weightings every six months. It shall accordingly set new weightings with 
effect from 1 July 1996. 
The institutions shall make back payments in the event of an increase in remuneration as a 
result of these weightings. 
For the period between 1 January 1996 and the date of the Council decision setting the 
weightings applicable with effect from 1 January 1996, the institutions shall make 
retrospective downward adjustments to remuneration in the event of a reduction as a result of 
these weightings. 
- 3 
Retrospective adjustments involving the recovery of sums overpaid shall, however, concern 
only a period of no more than 6 months preceding the decision and this recovery shall be 
spread over no more than 12 months from the date of that decision. 
Article 3 
This Regulation shall enter into force on the day following its publication in the Official 
Journal of the European Communities. 
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States. 
Done at Brussels, 
For the Council 
The President
