Proposal for a 

COUNCIL REGULATION 

laying down the weightings applicable from 1 July 2008  
to the remuneration of officials, temporary staff and contract staff  
of the European Communities serving in third countries

EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM 

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

This system of remuneration has also applied to contract staff since the new Staff Regulations 
entered  into  force  on  1 May  2004  (Regulation  (EC,  Euratom)  No 723/2004  of  22 March 
2004). 

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, which took effect on 1 July 2007, were laid down by the Council 
in Regulation (EC) No 624/2008 of 23 June 2008. 

The attached proposal adjusts weightings applicable from 1 July 2008 to the remuneration of 
officials,  temporary  staff  and  contract  staff  of  the  European  Communities  serving  in  third 
countries. 

The budgetary impact on the total operating costs of the delegations is negative (reduction in 
expenditure). 

The  remuneration  system  for  staff  serving  in  countries  outside  the  Union  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 by 
comparing Brussels and the 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 2008 for all places of employment. 

Table B shows the variation in percentage terms between the figures in Table A and those of 
July 2007 for all places of employment.

Proposal for a 

COUNCIL REGULATION 

laying down the weightings applicable from 1 July 2008  
to the remuneration of officials, temporary staff and contract staff  
of the European Communities serving in third countries 

THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION, 

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, 

Having  regard  to  the  Staff  Regulations  of  officials  of  the  European  Communities  and  the 
conditions  of  employment  of  other  servants  of  the  Communities  laid  down  by  Council 
Regulation  (EEC,  Euratom,  ECSC)  No 259/681,  and  in  particular  the  first  paragraph  of 
Article 13 of Annex X thereto, 

Having regard to the proposal from the Commission, 

Whereas: 

(1) 

(2) 

(3) 

(4) 

(5) 

It is necessary to take account of changes in the cost of living in countries outside the 
Community and to determine accordingly the weightings applicable from 1 July 2008 
to  remuneration  paid  in  the  currency  of  the  country  of  employment  to  officials, 
temporary staff and contract staff serving in third countries. 

The  weightings  in  respect  of  which  payment  has  been  made  on  the  basis  of  Council 
Regulation  (EC)  No 624/20082  may  lead  to  retrospective  upward  or  downward 
adjustments to remuneration. 

Provision  should  be  made  for  back-payments  in  the  event  of  an  increase  in 
remuneration as a result of the new weightings. 

Provision  should  be  made  for  the  recovery  of  sums  overpaid  in  the  event  of  a 
reduction  in  remuneration  as  a  result  of  the  new  weightings  for  the  period  between 
1 July 2008 and the date of entry into force of this Regulation. 

Provision should be made for any such recovery to be restricted to a period of no more 
than  six  months  preceding  the  date  of  entry  into  force  of  this  Regulation  and  for  its 
effects to be spread over a period of no more than twelve months following that date, 
as  is  the  case  with  the  weightings  applicable  within  the  European  Community  to 
remuneration  and  pensions  of  officials  and  other  servants  of  the  European 
Communities,

force of this Regulation. Recovery shall be spread over no more than twelve months 
from that date.
