               (1)
            
            
               It is necessary to take account of changes in the cost of living in countries outside the Union and to determine accordingly the weightings applicable from 1 July 2009 to remuneration paid in the currency of the country of employment to officials, temporary staff and contract staff serving in third countries.
            
         
               (2)
            
            
               The weightings in respect of which payment has been made on the basis of Council Regulation (EC) No 613/2009 (2) may lead to retrospective upward or downward adjustments to remuneration.
            
         
               (3)
            
            
               Provision should be made for back-payments in the event of an increase in remuneration as a result of the new weightings.
            
         
               (4)
            
            
               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 from 1 July 2009 to the date of entry into force of this Regulation.
            
         
               (5)
            
            
               Provision should be made for any such recovery to be restricted to a period of no more than 6 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 12 months following that date, as is the case with the weightings applicable within the European Union to remuneration and pensions of officials and other servants of the European Union,
