COM(2005) 686 final 

Proposal for a 

COUNCIL REGULATION 

laying down the weightings applicable from 1 July 2005 to the remuneration of officials, 
temporary staff and contract staff of the European Communities serving in third 
countries and of certain officials remaining in post in the ten new Member States for a 
maximum period of fifteen months after accession

EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM 

Regulation  (Euratom,  ECSC,  EEC)  No  3019/87  of  5  October  1987  amended  the  Staff 
Regulations by adding an Annex X laying down special and exceptional provisions applicable 
to officials of the European Communities serving in third countries. 

Articles 11, 12 and 13 of Annex X deal with the remuneration of officials posted in countries 
outside  the  European  Union.  Remuneration  is  payable  in  euros  in  Belgium  but  there  is  also 
provision for all or part of an official's remuneration to be paid in the currency of the country 
of employment. In that event, the portion paid in local currency is subject to a weighting. 

Article  13  of  Annex  X  required  the  Council  to  determine  the  weightings  for  third  countries 
every six months. 

Council Regulation (ECSC, EEC, Euratom) No 2175/88 of 18 July 1988 laid down the initial 
weightings applicable from 10 October 1987. 

Since the new Staff Regulations entered into force on 1 May 2004 (Regulation (EC, Euratom) 
No 723/2004 of 22 March 2004), this system of remuneration also applies to contract agents. 

Article  13  of  Annex  X  to  the  new  Staff  Regulations  now  requires  the  Council  to  set  the 
weightings applicable in third countries annually. 

The  most  recent  weightings  were  laid  down  by  the  Council  in  Regulation  (EC,  Euratom) 
No 257/2005 of 4 February 2005, which took effect on 1 July 2004. 

Article  33(4)  of  the  Treaty  on  the  accession  of  the  ten  new  Member  States  created  a  legal 
basis for extending the application of Annex X of the Staff Regulations (rules applicable to 
staff  working  outside  the  Community)  to  officials  remaining  in  post  in  the  new  Member 
States for a maximum period of fifteen months after accession. Therefore weightings should 
be set for these new Member States not only in accordance with Annex XI but in accordance 
with Annex X to the Staff Regulations. 

This  proposal  concerns  the  adjustment  of  weightings  applicable  from  1  July  2005  to  the 
remuneration  of  officials,  temporary  staff  and  contract  staff  of  the  European  Communities 
serving  in  third  countries  and  of  certain  officials  remaining  in  post  in  the  ten  new  Member 
States for a maximum period of fifteen months after accession. 

The budgetary impact is negligible compared with the total operating costs of the delegations. 

The  remuneration  system  for  staff  serving  in  countries  outside  the  Community  is  based  on 
purchasing  power  parity  of  remuneration  paid  in  local  currency  compared  with  that  paid  in 
Brussels. 

To apply this principle Eurostat calculates the economic parities. The weighting is the factor 
obtained  by  dividing  the  economic  parity  by  the  exchange  rate.  This  means  that 
implementation  of  the  weighting  system  primarily  involves  calculating  economic  parities 
between Brussels and other places of employment. 

The exchange rates used are established in accordance with the rules for the implementation 
of the Financial Regulation and correspond to the date of application of the weightings.

Table  A  sets  out  the  new  economic  parities,  the  corresponding  exchange  rates  and  the 
resulting weightings as at 1 July 2005 for all places of employment. 

Table B shows the variation in percentage terms between the figures in Table A and those of 
July 2004 for all places of employment.
