            AMENDING REGULATION (ECSC, EEC . ÉURATOM) N° 300/76
                       DETERMINING THE CATEGORIES

 COM ( 79 ) 344 final
 ---pagebreak---                        ♦ EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM
1.  Article 56a of the Staff Regulations provides for the grant of allowances
to officials required to do shiftwork.     It also provides that the Council
shall determine the categories of officials entitled to such allowances , and
the rates and conditions thereof .
Council Regulation ( ECSC, EEC, Euratom) No 300/76 of 9 February 1976
determined the categories of offioials entitled as being, for the purposes
of staff paid from the administrative budget , offioials employed in a
oomputer centre or a security department .
2.  The Commission's telex staff also works shifts and has asked to receive
the allowance provided for by Regulation No 300/76.
Having considered various other ways of organizing the telex service, we
have concluded that shiftwork is the most efficient system and the most
closely adapted to the operating requirements of the service .    It has also
been found that shift work is the oheapest system in terms of both personnel
and equipment .
3 . The Commission accordingly decided to grant the shiftwork allowance to
telex staff with effect from 1 April 1977 •    Mr Tugendhat informed the
Council of this by letter dated 12 February 1977 and the matter was
discussed by the Council 's Staff Regulations Working Party on
25 and 26 July 1977 .
The Working Party considered that Regulation No 300/76 should be interpreted
restrictively and the matter was reconsidered by Coreper, which suggested
that the Commission table a proposal for amendment of Regulation No 300/7 6
to cover telex staff ( meetings on 7 and 8 September 1977 )*
4. On 7 December 1978 the Commission accordingly decided to consult the
Staff Regulations Committee on a draft regulation extending
Regulation No 300/7 6 to telecommunications staff and to certain
photocomposition staff in the Publications Qffioe where the same problems
of profitability arise .
5 . The Staff Regulations Committee, to which the draft regulation was
referred by letter from Mr Brunner dated 7 December 1978, met on
2 February 1979 and issued an opinion endorsing the part of the draft
extending Regulation No 300/76 to telecommunications staff#     Technical
consideration will be given later to the seoond part of the draft ,
concerning shiftwork by photocomposition staff*
 ---pagebreak--- 6.  The present draft regulation thus extends Regulation No 300/76 only
to telecommunications staff , where a situation that has existed since
1 April 1977 must now, as suggested by Coreper. be regularized.
