COUNCIL REGULATION (EC, ECSC, EURATOM) No 106/2001

of 15 January 2001

laying down the weightings applicable from 1 July 2000 to the remuneration of officials of the
European Communities serving in third countries

THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION,

July 2000 and the date of the Council decision setting
the weightings to apply with effect from 1 July 2000.

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European
Community,

(6)

Having regard to the Staff Regulations of officials of the Euro-
pean Communities and the conditions of employment of other
servants of the Communities laid down by Regulation (EEC,
Euratom, ECSC) No 259/68 (1), as last amended by Regulation
(EC, ECSC, Euratom) No 2805/2000 (2), and in particular the
first subparagraph of Article 13 of Annex X thereto,

Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,

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,

Whereas:

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

(1)

(2)

(3)

(4)

(5)

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 therefore be determined with effect
from 1 July 2000.

Under Annex X of the Staff Regulations, the Council sets
the weightings every six months; it will accordingly have
to set new weightings for the coming half-years.

The weightings to apply with effect from 1 July 2000 in
respect of which payment has been made on the basis of
a previous regulation could lead to retrospective adjust-
ments to remuneration (positive or negative).

Provision should be made for back-payments in the
event of an increase in remuneration as a result of these
weightings.

Provision should be made for the recovery of sums
overpaid in the event of a reduction in remuneration as
a result of these weightings for the period between 1

Article 1

With effect from 1 July 2000, 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 Union for the month preceding the date referred
to in the first subparagraph.

Article 2

In accordance with the first subparagraph of Article 13 of
Annex X of the Staff Regulations, the Council shall set weight-
ings every six months. It shall accordingly set new weightings
with effect from 1 January 2001.

(1) OJ L 56, 4.3.1968, p. 1.
(2) OJ L 326, 22.12.2000, p. 3.

The institutions shall make back-payments in the event of an
increase in remuneration as a result of these weightings.
