(2002/918/EC)

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European
Community,

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 Council Regu-
lation (EEC, Euratom, ECSC) No 259/68 (1), as last amended by
Regulation (EC, ECSC, Euratom) No 490/2002 (2), and in parti-
cular the second paragraph of Article 13 of Annex X thereto,

Whereas:

(1)

(2)

(3)

Pursuant to the first paragraph of Article 13 of Annex X
to the Staff Regulations, Council Regulation (EC,
Euratom) No 1522/2002 (3) laid down the weightings to
be applied from 1 January 2002 to the remuneration of
officials
serving in third countries, payable in the
currency of their country of employment.

The Commission has made a number of adjustments to
these weightings (4) in recent months, pursuant to the
second paragraph of Article 13 of Annex X to the Staff
Regulations.

Some of these weightings should be adjusted with effect
from 1 February, 1 March, 1 April, 1 May and 1 June
2002 given that the statistics available to the Commis-
sion show that in certain third countries the variation in

the cost of living measured on the basis of the weighting
and the corresponding exchange rate has exceeded 5 %
since weightings were last laid down or adjusted,

HAS DECIDED AS FOLLOWS:

Sole Article

With effect from 1 February, 1 March, 1 April, 1 May and 1
June 2002 the weightings applicable to the remuneration of
officials serving in third countries payable in the currency of
their country of employment are adjusted 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 dates
referred to in the first paragraph.

Done at Brussels, 20 November 2002.
