COUNCIL REGULATION (EC, EURATOM) No 2148/2003

of 5 December 2003

correcting with effect from 1 July 2002 the remuneration and pensions of officials and other
servants of the European Communities

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 par-
ticular 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 Regulation (EEC, Euratom, ECSC) No 259/68 (1), as last amended
by Regulation (EC, Euratom) No 2265/2002 (2), and in particular Articles 63, 64, 65, 65a and 82 of the
Staff Regulations, Annex XI to the Staff Regulations, and Article 20, first subparagraph, and Article 64 of
the Conditions of employment,

Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,

Whereas:

(1)

(2)

Regulation (EC, Euratom) No 2265/2002 was unable to take correct account of the trend in the net
remuneration of French civil servants.

The figures showing this trend are now available and show that an additional adjustment should be
carried out.

(3)

The amounts in that Regulation should therefore be corrected,

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) Council Regulation (EC, Euratom) No 2265/2002 of 16 December 2002 adjusting with effect from 1 July 2002 the
