Proposal for a 

COUNCIL REGULATION 

laying down the weightings 
applicable from 1 July 2007 
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 two new Member States 
for a maximum period of nineteen 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. 

The  first  paragraph  of  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 staff. 

The first paragraph of 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) No 453/2007 
of 25 April 2007, which took effect on 1 July 2006. 

Article 27(4) of the Act concerning the conditions of accession of the two 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  19  months  after  accession.  Weightings  should 
therefore be set for these new Member States not only in accordance with Annex XI but also 
in accordance with Annex X to the Staff Regulations. 

The attached proposal adjusts weightings applicable from 1 July 2007 to the remuneration of 
officials,  temporary  staff  and  contract  staff  of  the  European  Communities  serving  in  third 
countries. 

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 2007 for all places of employment. 

Table B shows the variation in percentage terms between the figures in Table A and those of 
July 2006 for all places of employment.
