CONTEXT OF THE PROPOSAL 

110 

Grounds for and objectives of the proposal 

As  is  the  case  each  year,  under  Article  3  of  Annex  XI  to  the  Staff  Regulations,  the 
Council,  acting  on  a  Commission  proposal  based  on  the  Eurostat  report,  must  take  a 
decision  before  the  end  of  the  year  adjusting  remuneration  and  pensions,  with  effect 
from 1 July. 

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  information  supplied  by  the  eight  Member 
States referred to in Article 1(4) of Annex XI. 

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

The economic parities for remuneration establish the purchasing power equivalence of 
the  remuneration  paid  in  Brussels,  as  the  reference  city,  with  that  paid  in  the  other 
places  of  employment.  Eurostat  has  calculated  those  parities  in  agreement  with  the 
national statistical bodies. 

The economic parities for pensions establish the purchasing power equivalence of the 
pension paid in Belgium, as the reference country, with that paid in the other countries 
of  residence.  Eurostat  has  calculated  those  parities  in  agreement  with  the  national 
statistical bodies.

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 various 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 -2.0%. 

The change in the cost of living in Brussels in the reference period, as measured by the 
Brussels International Index calculated by Eurostat is equal to 2.4%. 

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 the Brussels 
International Index calculated by Eurostat. 

The proposed adjustment to remuneration and pensions in Belgium and Luxembourg is 
therefore 0.4%. 

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

3.2. ADJUSTMENT TO REMUNERATION AND PENSIONS OUTSIDE BELGIUM 
AND LUXEMBOURG 

Outside  Belgium  and  Luxembourg,  the  adjustment  to  remuneration  and  pensions  is 
obtained by multiplying the adjustment in Belgium and Luxembourg by the change in 
weightings and in the exchange rate. 

The  weightings  applicable  to  remuneration,  pensions  and  transfers  of  part  of 
remuneration as set out in the Regulation have been calculated as follows: 

- Weightings for OFFICIALS outside Belgium and Luxembourg: 

EN 

3 

   EN 

 
Eurostat has calculated, in agreement with the national statistical bodies, the economic 
parities which establish the purchasing power equivalence of the remuneration paid in 
Brussels with that paid in the other places of employment as at 1 July. 

The weightings applicable to the remuneration of officials and other servants employed 
in the Member States other than Belgium and Luxembourg are determined by the ratios 
between these economic parities and the exchange rates applicable as at 1 July. 

-  Weightings  for  PENSIONS  outside  Belgium  and  Luxembourg  and  weightings  for 
TRANSFERS: 

Eurostat has calculated, in agreement with the national statistical bodies, the economic 
parities  which  establish  the  purchasing  power  equivalence  of  the  pension  paid  in 
Brussels with that paid in the other countries of residence as at 1 July. 

The weightings calculated for the pensions of individuals living outside Belgium and 
Luxembourg  in  the  various  countries  are  determined  by  the  ratios  between  these 
economic parities and the exchange rates applicable as at 1 July. 

Under Article 17 of Annex VII to the Staff Regulations, these weightings are directly 
applicable to transfers made by officials and other servants. 

Under Article 20 of Annex XIII to the Staff Regulations, the weightings apply only to 
the part of the pension corresponding to pension rights acquired before 1 May 2004. 

- Date on which the weightings enter into effect: 

These weightings take effect on 1 July for all places except those with a high cost-of-
living increase, for which the weighting enters into effect on 16 May if the increase in 
the cost of living is greater than 6.3%, or 1 May if it is greater than 12.6%. 

Changes  in  the  cost  of  living  outside  Belgium  and  Luxembourg  are  measured  by  the 
change in the implicit indices. These indices are calculated by multiplying the Brussels 
International Index by the change in the economic parity. 

The date of entry into force of this adjustment is earlier for the places referred to in the 
Regulation. 

310 

Legal basis 

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

The legality of Council Regulation (EU, Euratom) No 1296/2009 of 23 December 2009 
adjusting with effect from 1 July 2009 the remuneration and pensions of officials and 
other servants of the European Union and the correction coefficients applied thereto is 
contested by the European Commission and the European Parliament, and is subject to 
an  action  for  annulment  before  the  Court  of  Justice.  However,  due  to  the  fact  that 
according to established case-law Union legal acts enjoy the presumption of legality as 
long  as  they  are  not  declared  void  by  the  Court  of  Justice,  the  Commission  used  the 
above Council Regulation as the basis for the 2010 annual adjustment. 

Should the Court of Justice uphold the Commission’s action, the proposed Regulation 

EN 

4 

   EN 

will have to be subsequently revised in accordance with Article 266 of the Treaty on 
the Functioning of the European Union. 

329 

Subsidiarity principle 

The proposal concerns an area that falls within the exclusive competence of the Union. 
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 be inappropriate for the following reasons: 

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