COUNCIL REGULATION (EC, EURATOM) No 2265/2002

of 16 December 2002

adjusting with effect from 1 July 2002 the remuneration and pensions of officials and other
servants of the European Communities and the weightings applied thereto

THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,

Having regard to the Protocol on the Privileges and Immunities of the European Communities, and in
particular Article 13 thereof,

Having regard to the Staff Regulations of Officials and the Conditions of Employment of Other Servants of
the European Communities laid down by Council Regulation (EEC, Euratom, ECSC) No 259/68 (1), as last
amended by Regulation (EC, ECSC, Euratom) No 490/2002 (2), and in particular Articles 63, 64, 65, 65a
and 82 of the Staff Regulations, Annex XI (3) to the Staff Regulations, and the first paragraph of Article 20
and Article 64 of the Conditions of Employment,

Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,

Whereas:

(1)

(2)

(3)

(4)

(5)

A review of the remuneration of officials and other servants carried out on the basis of a report by
the Commission has shown that the remuneration and pensions of officials and other servants of the
Communities should be adjusted under the 2002 annual review.

The annual adjustment in respect of 2003 could entail the establishment before 31 December 2003
of new weightings with retroactive effect from 1 July 2003.

These new weightings could lead to retroactive adjustments to remuneration and pensions (positive
or negative) in respect of the period of 2003 for which payments have already been made on the
basis of this Regulation.

Provision should therefore be made for the payment of arrears in the event of an upward adjustment
as a result of these weightings or for the recovery of sums overpaid in the event of a downward
adjustment for the period between the effective date and the date of entry into force of the Council's
decision on the annual adjustment in respect of 2003.

Provision should be made for the effects of any such recovery to be spread over a period of not more
than twelve months following the date of entry into force of the Councils decision on the annual
adjustment in respect of 2003,

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

With effect from 1 July 2002:

Article 1

(a) the table of basic monthly salaries in Article 66 of the Staff Regulations shall be replaced by the

following:

(1) OJ L 56, 4.3.1968, p. 1.
(2) OJ L 77, 20.3.2002, p. 1.
(3) Extended until 30.6.2003. Regulation (EC, ECSC, Euratom) No 2805/2000 (OJ L 326, 22.12.2000, p. 7).
