THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European

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

(2)

(3)

Pursuant to the first paragraph of Article 13 of Annex X
to the Staff Regulations, Council Regulation (EC, ECSC,
Euratom) No 101/2003 (3) laid down the weightings to
be applied from 1 July 2002 to the remuneration of offi-
cials 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 August, 1 September, 1 October, 1 November
and 1 December 2002 given that the statistics available
to the Commission 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 August, 1 September, 1 October, 1
November and 1 December 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, 12 June 2003.
