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  /* COM/2009/0253 final */  

		ENBrussels, 29.5.2009COM(2009) 253 finalProposal for aCOUNCIL REGULATIONlaying 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 countriesEXPLANATORY MEMORANDUMRegulation (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.ANNEX TO THE EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM| TABLE A || PLACE OF EMPLOYMENT | Economic parity July 2008 | Exchange rate July 2008 (*) | Weighting July 2008 (**) |(***) | Afghanistan | 0 | 0 | 0 || South Africa | 5,858 | 12,488 | 46,9 || Albania | 95,91 | 122,216 | 78,5 || Algeria | 84,93 | 97,1003 | 87,5 || Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia | 43,65 | 61,3866 | 71,1 || Angola | 131,1 | 116,256 | 112,8 || Saudi Arabia | 4,612 | 5,8328 | 79,1 || Argentina | 2,605 | 4,7583 | 54,7 || Armenia | 335,1 | 471,45 | 71,1 || Australia | 1,778 | 1,6383 | 108,5 || Azerbaijan | 0,94 | 1,28866 | 72,9 || Bangladesh | 48,33 | 106,457 | 45,4 || Barbados | 3,305 | 3,13385 | 105,5 || Belarus | 2074 | 3305,33 | 62,7 || Benin | 609,3 | 655,957 | 92,9 || Bolivia | 5,617 | 11,3386 | 49,5 || Bosnia and Herzegovina (Sarajevo) | 1,538 | 1,95583 | 78,6 || Bosnia and Herzegovina (Banja Luka) | 1,227 | 1,95583 | 62,7 || Botswana | 4,753 | 10,3407 | 46 || Brazil | 2,414 | 2,5282 | 95,5 || Burkina Faso | 632,9 | 655,957 | 96,5 |(***) | Burundi | 0 | 0 | 0 || Cambodia | 4025 | 6420 | 62,7 || Cameroon | 719,8 | 655,957 | 109,7 || Canada | 1,25 | 1,585 | 78,9 || Cape Verde | 82,07 | 110,265 | 74,4 || Chile | 454,1 | 786,65 | 57,7 || China | 8,067 | 10,8066 | 74,6 || West Bank -
