Article 1

With effect from 1 January 2001, the weightings applicable to
remuneration payable in the currency of
the country of
employment shall be as shown in the Annex.

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 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 paragraph.

The weightings to apply with effect from 1 January
2001 in respect of which payment has been made on
the basis of a previous regulation could lead to retro-
spective adjustments to remuneration (positive or nega-
tive).

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

Provision should furthermore be made for the recovery
of sums overpaid in the event of a reduction in remu-
neration as a result of these weightings for the period
between 1 January 2001 and the date of the Council
