Proposal  for a 

COUNCIL  REGULATION  (EC) 

introducing special  measures to terminate the service of officials  of the European 
Communities as a result of the accession  of Austria,  Sweden and Finland 

Proposal  for a 

COUNCIL REGULATION (EC) 

introducing special  measures to terminate the service of temporary  staff of the 
European Communities 

(presented by the Commission) 

A 

EXPLANATORY  MEMORANDUM 

The  object  of  these  proposals  is  to  introduce  special  measures  to  terminate  the 
service of officials  and temporary  staff  of the  Communities in  certain  grades, in 
order to  meet the recruitment  requirements  resulting both  from  the accession  of 
Austria, Sweden and Finland to the Communities and from  the acquisition  of new 
powers. 

The  officials  and  temporary  staff  concerned  must  be  at  least  55  years  of  age, 
except  for  the  temporary  staff  referred  to  in  Article  2(c)  of  the  Conditions  of 
Employment,  for  whom the minimum  age is 50. 

The proposed measures will be applied in the interests of the service in connection 
with  enlargement,  with  the  consent  of  the  person  concerned.  Age,  ability, 
performance,  conduct  in the  service,  family  circumstances  and  seniority  will  be 
taken  into  account.  The  Joint  Committee  will  be  consulted.  Seniority  in  the 
service may  not  be  less than  10 years,  except  in the  case of  temporary  staff  on 
contracts for  an indefinite  period,  where  15 years will be  required. 

After  giving  staff  the  opportunity  to  express  their  interest,  the  institutions  will 
choose the officials  to whom the proposed  measures are to be applied within the 
ceiling  set in the proposals. 

The  Commission  regards  the  figure  of  100  Commission  officials  to  whom  the 
measures may  apply  as a ceiling which  does not necessarily  have to be reached, 
bearing in mind the budgetary  cost  of these operations. 

The  pecuniary  benefits  payable  to  officials  and  temporary  staff  affected  by  the 
measures  referred  to  in  this  proposal  are  modelled  on  those  laid  down  in  the 
regulations terminating service on the accession of Spain and Portugal (Regulation 
No 3518/85 of  12.12.1985 and Regulation  No 2274/87 of 23.7.1987), as regards 
both  family  allowances  and  social  security  benefits  on  the  one  hand  and 
compensation  on  the  other:  staff  affected  will  receive  70%  of  their  last  basic 
salary until they reach the age of 65 or until the date on which the maximum rate 
of retirement  pension  is reached,  whichever  is the earlier.

In the interests of the service in connection with enlargement, the institution shall, within

to whom the measures terminating their  service under Article  1 shall  be applied,  after 
giving  staff the opportunity to express their interest. 

For this purpose it shall take into consideration the age, ability, efficiency,  conduct in the 
service,  family  situation  and  seniority  of  the officials.  Minimum  seniority  of  10 years 
shall be required. 

Under no circumstances may these measures be applied without the consent of the official 
concerned. 

Article 4 

1.  A former official  affected  by the measure provided for in Article  1 shall  be entitled 
to a monthly allowance equal to 70 % of the basic salary for the grade and step held at 
the time of departure,  determined  by reference to the table  set out in Article 66  of the 
Staff  Regulations  in  force  on  the  first  day  of  the  month  for  which  the  allowance  is 
payable. 

2.  Entitlement to the allowance  shall  cease not later than the last  day of  the month in 
which the former official  attains the age of 65  and in any event as soon as the former 
official  is eligible for the maximum retirement pension. 

At that point the former official  shall  automatically  receive a retirement pension, which 
shall take effect on the first day of the calendar month following the month in which the 
allowance was paid for the last time. 

3.  The  allowance  provided for  in  paragraph  1 shall be weighted  at the rate fixed in 
accordance with the second  subparagraph of Article 82(1)  of the Staff Regulations 
for the country situated inside or outside the Community where the recipient proves 
he has his residence. 

If  the recipient of the allowance  establishes his residence in a country  outside the 
Community, the weighting of  100 shall be applied. 

- 4-

The allowance shall be expressed in Belgian francs. It shall be paid in the currency 
of the country of residence of the recipient. However, if it is subject to the weighting 
of  100 under the second subparagraph, it shall be paid in Belgian  francs. 

Allowances paid in a currency other than the Belgian franc shall be calculated on the 
basis  of the exchange  rates specified  in the  second paragraph  of  Article  63  of  the 
Staff Regularions-

4. Where gross income accruing to the former official  from any new employment, when 
combined  with  the  allowance  provided  for  in  paragraph  1,  exceeds  the  total  gross 
remuneration last received by the official,  determined by reference to the salary scales in 
force on the first day of the month for which the allowance is payable, the amount of the 
excess  shall  be  deducted  from  that allowance.  That remuneration  shall  be weighted as 
provided for in paragraph 3. 

Gross income and total gross remuneration last received, as referred to above, mean sums 
paid after deduction of  social  security  contributions but before deduction of tax. 

The former official  concerned shall provide any written proof which may be required and 
shall  notify  the institution of any factor which may affect  his right to the allowance. 

5. As set out in Article 67 of the Staff Regulations and Articles  1, 2 and 3 of Annex VII 
to the Staff Regulations, family allowances shall be payable either to the recipient of the 
allowance provided for in paragraph  1 or to the person or persons to whom custody  of 
the  child  or  children  has  been  entrusted  by  law  or  by  an  order  of  court  or  of  the 
competent  administrative  authority;  the  household  allowance  shall  be  calculated  by 
reference to that allowance. 

6.  Recipients  of  the  allowance  shall  be  entided,  in  respect  of  themselves  and persons 
covered by their insurance, to benefits under the sickness insurance scheme provided for 
in  Article  72  of  the  Staff  Regulations  provided  they  pay  the  relevant  contribution, 
calculated on the basis of the allowance provided for in paragraph 1, and are not covered 
by another sickness insurance scheme by virtue of legal  or statutory provisions. 

7. During the period for which he is entitled to receive the allowance, the former  official 
shall continue to acquire further rights to retirement pension based on the salary attaching 
to his grade and step, provided that the contribution provided for in the Staff Regulations 
by reference to that salary is paid during that period and provided that the total pension 
does not exceed the maximum specified in the second paragraph of Article 77 of the Staff 
Regulations.  For the purposes of  Article  5 of  Annex  VIII to the Staff  Regulations and 
Article  108  of  the  former  Rules  and  Regulations  of  the  European  Coal  and  Steel 
Community,  such period  shall  be considered to be a period of service. 

8.  Subject to Articles  1  (1) and 22 of Annex VIII to the Staff Regulations, the surviving 
spouse of a former official  who dies while in receipt of the monthly allowance provided 
for in paragraph  1 shall be entitled, provided that he or she had been his or her spouse 

for  at  least  one  year  when  the  former  official  left  the  service  of  an  institution,  to  a 
survivor's pension equal to 60 % of the retirement pension which, irrespective of length 
of service or age, would have been payable to the former official  if he had qualified for 
it at the time of death. 

The survivor's pension referred to in the previous subparagraph shall not be less than the 
amounts  specified  in  the  second  paragraph  of  Article  79  of  the  Staff  Regulations. 
However,  in no case may it exceed the amount of the retirement pension to which the 
former official  would have been entitled had he survived and been granted a retirement 
pension when he ceased to be eligible for the allowance referred to above. 

The duration of the marriage referred to in the first subparagraph shall not be taken into 
account if there are one or more children of a marriage contracted by the official  before 
he or she left the service provided that the surviving spouse maintains or has maintained 
those children. 

The same shall apply if the former official's death resulted from one of the circumstances 
referred to at the end of the second paragraph of  Article  17 of Annex VIII to the  Staff 
Regulations. 

9. On the death of a former official  in receipt of the allowance provided for in paragraph 
1,  dependent  children  within  the  meaning  of  Article  2  of  Annex  VII  to  the  Staff 
Regulations shall be entitled to an orphan's pension on the conditions set out in the  first, 
second and third paragraphs of Article 80 of the  Staff Regulations and in Article 21  of 
Annex  VIII to the Staff Regulations. 

10. For the purposes of Article  107 of the Staff Regulations and of Article  102 (2) of the 
Staff  Regulations  of  Officials  of  the European  Coal  and  Steel  Community,  an  official 
affected  by the measure provided for in Article  1 shall be treated as an official  who has 
remained  in  service  until  the  age  of  65  provided  he  continues to  pay  the contribution 
during the period of receipt of the allowance referred to in paragraph  1 of this Article. 

Article 5 

1.  Officials  referred  to  in  the  last  paragraph  of  Article  2  of  Council  Regulation 
(EEC/Euratom/ECSC) No 259/68 (1) and in Article 102 (5) of the Staff Regulations, with 
the exception of those who occupied an established post in grades A /l  or A /2 under the 
Staff Regulations of the European Coal and Steel Community before  1  January 1962 and 
to  whom  the  measures  under  Article  1 are  applied,  shall  be  entitled  to  ask  for  their 
precuniary claims to be settled in accordance with Article 34 of the Staff Regulations of 
the European Coal and Steel Community  and Article 50 of the Rules and Regulations of 
the European Coal and Steel  Community. 

2  Nevertheless, Article 4 (3) and (5) to (9) of this Regulation shall continue to apply to 
the officials  referred to in this Article and their entitled beneficiaries.

COUNCIL REGULATION (ECSC, EC, EURATOM) 

of 

introducing  special  measures to terminate the service of temporary  staff of the 
European Communities 

THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION, 

Having regard to the Treaty establishing  a Single  Council  and a Single Commission  of 
the European Communities,  and in particular Article 24 thereof, 

Having  regard  to  the  proposal  made  by  the  Commission  after  consulting  the  Staff 
Regulations Committee, 

Having regard to the opinion of the European Parliament, 

Having regard to the opinion  of the Court of Justice, 

Having regard to the opinion of the Court of Auditors, 

Whereas, by Regulation  (ECSC, EEC, Euratom) No 
, the Council  adopted special 
measures to terminate the service  of  officials  of the European Communities as a result 
of the accession  of Austria,  Sweden  and Finland; 

Whereas, as a result of the accession of Austria, Sweden and Finland, it is also necessary 
to adopt similar measures in respect of temporary staff on contracts of indefinite duration, 
by means of a Regulation  couched as far as possible in similar terms; 

Whereas the purpose of these measures is to enable preference to be given to Austrian, 
Swedish and Finnish  nationals when the posts thus released are  filled; 

Whereas  it  is  clear  that  temporary  staff  carrying  out  their  duties  as  specified  in 
Article 2(c) of the Conditions of Employment of Other Servants, and in particular those 
working  for the  political  groups in the European Parliament,  would  not be eligible  for 
termination of  service in order to enable Austrian,  Swedish and Finnish nationals to be 
recruited in sufficient  numbers and with normal career prospects if the age limit were set 
at  55  as  was  the  case  for  officials  and  for  temporary  staff  within  the  meaning  of 
Article 2(a) of the Conditions of Employment; 

Whereas, in the interests of the institutions and to take account of the particular situation 
of  the  European  Parliament,  a  sufficient  number  of  Austrian,  Swedish  and  Finnish 
nationals should be recruited to fill, with  normal  career prospects, the posts referred to 
in  Article 2(c);  whereas  the  minimum  age  for  termination  of  service  of  staff  in that 
category  should therefore be lowered to 50, 

HAS  ADOPTED THIS REGULATION: 

Article 1 

In the interests of the service, and in order to take account of requirements resulting from 
the  accession  of  Austria,  Sweden  and  Finland  to  the  European  Communities,  certain

of  temporary  staff  within  the  meaning  of  Article 2(a)  and  (c)  of  the  Conditions  of 
Employment of Other Servants of  the European Communities as specified  below.  The 
temporary staff in question, those on contracts for an indefinite period, must have a total 
of at least  15 years' service and be aged at least 50 in the case of temporary staff within 
the  meaning  of  Article 2(c)  and  at  least  55  in  the  case  of  temporary  staff  within  the 
meaning of Article 2(a) of the conditions of employment. 

Article 2 

The number of temporary staff in respect of whom the measures referred to in Article 1 
may be taken shall be 30 for the European Parliament and 2 for the Economic and Social 
Committee.  These  numbers  shall  be  spread  over  the  periods  of  application  of  this 
Regulation  as follows:

temporary staff to whom the measures terminating their service under Article  1 shall be 
applied,  after  giving  staff  the opportunity  to express their interest.  For this purpose it 
shall take into consideration their age, ability,  efficiency,  conduct in the service,  family

of the country of residence of the recipient. However, if it is subject to the weighting 
of  100 under the second subparagraph, it shall be paid in Belgian  francs.

7. 
member  of  the  temporary  staff  shall  continue  to  acquire  further rights to  retirement 
pension based on the salary attaching to his grade and step, provided that the contribution 
provided for in the Staff Regulations by reference to that salary is paid during that period 
and provided that the total  pension does not exceed the maximum  specified  in Title II, 
Chapter 6 of the Conditions of Employment.  For the purposes of Article  5 of Annex VIII 
to the Staff Regulations,  such period shall be considered to be a period of service. 

Subject  to  Articles  1(1)  and  22  of  Annex  VIII  to  the  Staff  Regulations,  the

surviving spouse of a former member of the temporary staff who dies while in receipt of 
the monthly allowance provided for in paragraph  1 shall be entitled, provided that he or 
she has been  his  or her  spouse  for  at least  one  year  when  the  former  member  of  the 
temporary  staff left the service of an institution, to a survivor's pension equal to 60% of 
the retirement pension which, irrespective of length of service or of age, would have been 
payable to the former member of the temporary  staff if  he or she had qualified  for it at 
the time of death. 

The survivor's pension  referred  to in the preceding  subparagraph  shall  not be less than 
the amounts specified in Title II, Chapter 6 of the Conditions of Employment.  However, 
in  no  case  may  it  exceed  the  amount  of  the  retirement  pension  to  which  the  former 
member  of  the  temporary  staff  would  have  been  entitled  had  he  survived  and  been 
granted a retirement pension when he ceased to be eligible for the allowance referred to 
above. 

The duration of the marriage stipulated in the first subparagraph shall  not be taken into 
account if there are one or more children of a marriage contracted by the former member 
of  the  temporary  staff  before  he  left  the  service,  provided  that  the  surviving  spouse 
maintains or has maintained those children. 

The same shall apply if the death of the former member of the temporary  staff resulted

Financial  statement  accompanying  the  Regulation  on  the  termination  of  service  of  temporary 
staff  of  the  European  Communities 

is 

METHOD 

1. 

The  figures  for  the  numbers  of  staff  concerned  (category,  grade  and  step)  have  been  supplied  by  the 
Institutions concerned  (Parliament  and ESC). 

2. 

3. 

4. 

The average  length of  time during which benefits  will be payable  has been taken to be five years. 

Recipients of the of the termination-of-service  allowance have been divided up by category (an average 
basic salary per categoiy  and  grade  has been calculated). 

The calculation of the cost of the termination-of-service allowance by category and grade is based on the 
proposed termination-of-service  regulation and was carried  out as follows  : 

4.1.  Average basic salary  by category  and grade  was calculated  in BEF; 
4.2.  The result was converted  into ECU  at  the rate on  1.2.1995 (ECU  1 = BEF 39.1092); 
4.3.  70% of average basic  salary  for  one year was  calculated; 
4.4.  3.4% was added to the  resulting figure  for sickness insurance and weighting of 3.33% applied; 
4.5.  The rate of salary  increase  on  31.12.1995 (1.9%) was applied  to the  new  figure. 

This produces average cost per category  as  set out  in the table below  :
