of 15 December 2025
         
amending the Implementing Measures for the Statute for Members of the European Parliament
(C/2025/6778)


THE BUREAU OF THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT,

Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, and in particular Article 223(2) thereof,


Having regard to the Statute for Members of the European Parliament (1),


Having regard to Rule 25 of the Rules of Procedure of the European Parliament,

Whereas:







(1)


Pursuant to Article 73(2) of the Implementing Measures for the Statute for Members of the European Parliament (2) (‘the Implementing Measures’), where appropriate, the maximum monthly amount defrayable in respect of parliamentary assistance expenses, as set out in Article 29(4) of the Implementing Measures, is to be index-linked annually by the Bureau on the basis of the joint index established by Eurostat pursuant to Article 65 of, and in accordance with Annex XI to, the Staff Regulations of Officials of the European Union and the Conditions of Employment of Other Servants, laid down in Council Regulation (EEC, Euratom, ECSC) No 259/68 (3).

The European Commission has set the adjustment rate for the second half of 2025 at 3,0 %. The maximum monthly amount defrayable in respect of parliamentary assistance expenses should thus be increased to EUR 32 072 with effect from 1 July 2025, and the Implementing Measures should be amended accordingly,

Article 1
In Article 29 of the Implementing Measures, paragraph 4 is replaced by the following:






‘4.


The maximum monthly amount defrayable in respect of all the personal staff referred to in Article 30 shall be EUR 32 072 with effect from 1 July 2025.’.
