of 12 February 2002

laying down the weightings applicable from 1 July 2001 to the remuneration of officials of the
European Communities serving in third countries

THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION,

(6)

However, in order to mirror the weightings applicable
within the Community to remuneration and pensions of
officials and other servants of the European Communi-
ties, such recovery should be restricted 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 12
months following the date of that Decision,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European
Community,

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 2581/2001 (2), and in particular the
first paragraph of Article 13 of Annex X thereto,

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
July 2001.

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

Article 1

With effect from 1 July 2001, 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 paragraph.

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

Article 2

The weightings to apply with effect from 1 July 2001 in
respect of which payment has been made on the basis of
a previous regulation could lead to retrospective adjust-
ments to remuneration (upwards or downwards).

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
July 2001 and the date of the Council Decision setting
the weightings to apply with effect from 1 July 2001.

(1) OJ L 56, 4.3.1968, p. 1.
(2) OJ L 345, 29.12.2001, p. 1.

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 January 2002.

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 July 2001 and the date of the
Council Decision setting the weightings applicable with effect
from 1 July 2001, the institutions shall make retrospective
downward adjustments to remuneration in the event of a
reduction as a result of these weightings.

Retrospective adjustments involving the recovery of sums over-
paid shall, however, be restricted to a period of no more than
six months preceding the decision, and recovery shall be spread
over no more than 12 months from the date of that Decision.
