EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM 

CONTEXT OF THE PROPOSAL 

110 

Grounds for and objectives of the proposal 

In December 2007 the Council, acting on a Commission proposal based on the Eurostat 
report, took a decision adjusting with effect from 1 July the remuneration and pensions 
of officials and other servants of the European Communities. 

However, after the submission of the Commission proposal to the Council, Italy, on the 
basis  of  the  national  law  adopted  in  December  2007,  communicated  the  new  data 
concerning  the  retroactive  increase  in  the  real  remuneration  of  civil  servants  in  the 
central  government  in  that  Member  State  with  the  date  of  effect  of  1  February  2007, 
which falls in the reference period of 1 July 2006 – 1 July 2007, and Eurostat modified 
the Specific Indicator for the reference period. 

Therefore, in order to guarantee that the purchasing power of Community officials and 
other  servants  develops  in  parallel  with  that  of  national  civil  servants  in  the  Member 
States,  the  remuneration  and  pensions  of  officials  and  other  servants  of  the 
Communities should be adjusted under an additional review. 

120 

General context 

In accordance with Article 3 of Annex XI to the Staff Regulations, the adjustment to 
remuneration  and  pensions  derives  directly  from  changes  in  the  purchasing  power  of 
salaries  in  national  civil  services  (specific  indicator),  changes  in  the  cost  of  living  in 
Brussels (International Index) and economic parities determined by Eurostat. 

The specific indicator measures changes in the net remuneration, exclusive of inflation, 
of  national  civil  servants  in  Member  States'  central  governments.  Eurostat  has 
calculated this indicator on the basis of the information supplied by the eight Member 
States referred to in Article 1(4) of Annex XI. 

However, in December 2007, due to the adoption of the new legislation in Italy which 
applies retroactively from 1 February 2007 and therefore falls into the reference period, 
Eurostat  modified  the  Specific  Indicator  on  the  basis  of  the  figures  provided  by  the 
Italian statistical office. 

The Brussels International Index measures changes in the cost of living in Brussels for 
European  Community  officials.  Eurostat  has  drawn  up  this  index  on  the  basis  of  the 
information provided by the Belgian authorities.

LEGAL ELEMENTS OF THE PROPOSAL 

305 

Summary of the proposed action 

In accordance with Article 1 of Annex XI to the Staff Regulations, Eurostat has drawn 
up  a  report  on  changes  in  the  cost  of  living  in  Brussels,  changes  in  the  purchasing 
power of remuneration in national civil services, and the economic parities from which 
the weightings derive. 

3.1.  ADJUSTMENT  TO  REMUNERATION  AND  PENSIONS  IN  BELGIUM  AND 
LUXEMBOURG 

The average change in the purchasing power of national civil servants' remuneration in 
the reference period measured by the specific indicator is equal to 0,0%. 

The  change  in  the  cost  of  living  in  Brussels  in  the  reference  period  measured  by  the 
Brussels International Index calculated by Eurostat is equal to 1,4%. 

According  to  Article  3(2)  of  Annex  XI  to  the  Staff  Regulations,  the  amount  of  the 
adjustment  is  obtained  by  multiplying  together  the  specific  indicator  and  Brussels 
International Index calculated by Eurostat. 

The proposed adjustment to remuneration and pensions in Belgium and Luxembourg is 
therefore 1,4%. 

Under  Article  3(5)  of  Annex  XI,  no  weighting  is  applicable  in  Belgium  and 
Luxembourg.

Legal basis 

The Staff Regulations and, in particular, Annex XI thereto constitute the legal basis. 

329 

Subsidiarity principle 

The  proposal  concerns  an  area  that  falls  within  the  exclusive  competence  of  the 
Community. The principle of subsidiarity does not therefore apply. 

Proportionality principle 

The  proposal  is  consistent  with  the  principle  of  proportionality  for  the  following 
reasons: 

- Annex XI to the Staff Regulations provides for a Council regulation. 

- The  financial  burden results directly from  the  application  of  the  adjustment  method 
provided for in the Staff Regulations. 

Choice of instruments 

Proposed instrument: regulation. 

Other instruments would have been inappropriate for the following reasons: 

- Annex XI to the Staff Regulations provides for a Council regulation.

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 Regulation (EEC, Euratom, ECSC) 
No  259/681,  and  in  particular  Articles  63,  65  and  82  of  the  Staff  Regulations  and  Annexes

(2) 

Italy, on the basis of the national law adopted in December 2007, communicated the 
new data concerning the retroactive increase in the real remuneration of civil servants 
in the central government in that Member State with the date of effect of 1 February 
2007, which falls in the reference period of 1 July 2006 – 1 July 2007, and therefore 
Eurostat modified the Specific Indicator for the reference period. 

In  order  to  guarantee  that  the  purchasing  power  of  Community  officials  and  other 
servants develops in parallel with that of national civil servants in the Member States, 
the  remuneration  and  pensions  of  officials  and  other  servants  of  the  Communities 
should be adjusted under the additional review,
