THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION,

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 European Communities laid down by
Regulation (EEC, Euratom, ECSC) No 259/68 (1) and last
amended by Regulation (EC, Euratom) No 723/2004 (2), and
in particular Article 83a of, and Annex XII to, the Staff Regu-
lations,

Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,

Whereas:

(1)

In accordance with Article 13 of Annex XII to the Staff
Regulations, on 1 September 2005 Eurostat submitted a
report on the 2005 actuarial assessment of the pension
scheme updating the parameters referred to in that
Annex. According to this assessment, the rate of contri-
bution required to maintain actuarial balance of
the
pension scheme is 10,3 % of the basic salary.

(2)

(3)

However, under Article 2(2) of Annex XII to the Staff
Regulations, the adjustment taking effect on 1 July 2005
must not lead to a contribution higher than 10,25 %.

In the interests of actuarial balance of
the pension
scheme of officials and other servants of the European
Communities, the rate of contribution should therefore
be adjusted to the maximum permitted, i.e. 10,25 % of
the basic salary,

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

Article 1

With effect from 1 July 2005, the rate of the contribution
referred to in Article 83(2) of the Staff Regulations shall be

publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.

This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.
