COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES 

Brussels, 22.06.1998 
COM(1998) 384 final 

Proposal for a 

COUNCIL REGULATION (EC,  ECSC, Euratom) 

laying down the weightings 
applicable from 1 January 1998 
to the remuneration of officials of the European Communities 
serving in third countries 

(presented by the Commission) 

EXPLANATORY  MEMORANDUM 

I. 

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 
Communities  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  1998.  The budgetary impact is negligible compared with the total 
operating costs of the delegations. 

II.  Council  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 every six months, most recently by Regulation  No 501/98 
of 20 February  1998 which took effect  on  1  July  1997. 

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  economic  parities  by  the 
Statistical  Office  of  the  European  Communities  (SOEC).  The weighting  is  the  factor 
obtained  by  dividing  the  economic  parity  by  the  exchange  rate.  This  means  that 
implementation of a weightings system primarily involves calculating economic parities 
between Brussels and the various places of employment. 

The accounting exchange rates used are those for December 1997. 

Table  A  shows  for  each  place  of  employment  the  economic  parity  calculated  by  the 
SOEC for January  1998, the exchange rate used  and the resulting weighting,  applicable 
from  1  January  1998. 

Table B shows for each place of employment variations in percentage terms between the 
figures  in Table A and those for the previous  half-year.

Proposal for a 

COUNCIL REGULATION (EC,  ECSC, Euratom) 

laying down the weightings 
applicable from 1  January 1998 
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 2591/972, 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 1998; 

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  1998  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; 

1  OJ No L 56, 04.03.1968, p. 1. 

2  OJ No L 351, 23.12.1997, p. 1. 

AA 

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  1998 and  the date of the  Council  decision  setting  the weightings  to  apply with 
effect  from  1  January 1998; 

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 six months preceding the decision and for its effects  to be spread over a 
period of no more than twelve months following the date of that decision, 

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION: 

Article 1 

With  effect  from  1 January  1998, 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 1998. 

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  1998 and the date of the Council  decision  setting the 
weightings  applicable  with  effect  from  1  January  1998,  the  institutions  shall  make 
retrospective  downward  adjustments  to  remuneration  in  the  event  of  a  reduction  as  a 
result of these weightings. 

At 

Retrospective  adjustments  involving  the  recovery  of  sums  overpaid  shall,  however, 
concern  only  a  period  of  no  more  than  six  months  preceding  the  decision  and  this 
recovery shall be spread over no more than twelve 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,
