TheFinancial Controller approvedthisproposal on15July1982inaccordance
withArticle2l(4)ofthefinancial Regulation andcertified thattheappropriations
areavailable .

Grounds
1.Inconnection withestablishment ofthegener»-j _"budgetfor19o2,
the"budgetary authority authorized theestablishment serving EAC
s1;affbycreating 56permanent postsinaspecialcolumn theCommission 's
establishment plan.
i
Atthesametimethebudgetary authority allocated thenecessary
appropriations forremuneration andrelatedexpenditure totwodifferent
chapters : ' .
Chapter 98sEECsubsidyfortheoperation oftheEuropean
Association forCooperation 1378000ECU
Chapter 11:Officials andtemporary staffholdingapost
provided forintheestablishment plan 1020000ECU
2.Itwasassumed inthisconnection thatthestaffconcerned couldnot
beestablished before 1July1982.
Theestablishment procedure iscomplicated andcomprises threestages:
(a)theCommission hastodraftaproposalforaCouncilregulation ,obtain
theopinionoftheStaffRegulations Committee andsubmitittotheCouncil,
whichmustthenconsultParliament ;
(b)oncetheregulation hasbeenadopted,theCommission hastoconsultan
adhoccommittee responsible forexamining thequalifications andthe
abilities ofthestaffconcerned beforetheycanbeappointed asprobationary
officials ;
(c)oncethishasbeendone,theofficials havetobesecondedtotheEAC
intheinterests oftheservice.

Itwasestimated that this .procedure would take sixmonths .The "budgetary -
authority therefore entered 1378000ECU–corresponding toremuneration
andrelated expenditure (taxes duetotheBelgian State andsocial security
contributions )for56staff members –inArticle 980forthefirst half
oftheyear .Aslightly lowez *figure wasentered inChapter 11–
1020000ECU-for the second' half of^heyear since neither taxes nor
social security contributions 'are transferred tothe -Belgian State for
established Commission staff .

3.Theassumptions onwhich appropriations were entered inthebudget
proved tobewrong .Theproposal foraCouncil regulation introducing
special transitional measures concerning therecruitment asCommunity
officials of56members ofthestaff oftheEACwasnotadopted bythe
1July deadline .Itwassent totheCouncil on8June andcannot possibly
enter into force by 1July given thetime needed forconsultation of
Parliament andvetting within theCouncil .The 56EAC staff members will
therefore retain their current status andwill continue tobepaid onthat
basis from Article 98Oofthebudget .Under theStaff Regulations ,the
remuneration ofseconded officials cannot becharged toTitle 1ofthebudget .
Seconded staff arenotpaid bytheCommission butbytheorganization to
which they areseconded .Thenecessary appropriations must therefore be
included inthesubsidy paid totheEACandentered inArticle 980 .
Toavoid difficulties ofthis kind infuture ,theCommission inits
preliminary draft budget for1983 proposed that expenditure onallEAC
headquarters staff becharged toChapter 98irrespective ofwhether they
are established ornot .
Thepurpose ofthepresent proposal foratransfer istoallow theEAC to
payitsstaff ,before andafter establishment ,throughout 1982 ,from the
same headings asproposed for1983 .
