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.

Proposal  for a 
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. 

2O J N oL  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 
institutions  shall  make 
weightings  applicable  with  effect 
retrospective  downward  adjustments  to  remuneration  in  the  event  of  a reduction  as a result  of 
these  weightings. 

from  1  January  1996,  the 

-  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
