 ---pagebreak---                    Amended proposai for a Council Régulation
  correcting the weightings applicable in Denmark , Germany , Greece , Spain,
France, Ireland , Italy , the Netherlands , Portugal and the United Kingdom to
    the remuneration and pensions of officials and other servants of the
             European Communities, with effect from 1 January 1986
  1 . On 6 October 1987 the Commission sent the Council a proposal for a
       Regulation correcting the weightings applicable to the remuneration
       and pensions of officials and other servants of the European
       Communities , under the five-yearly verification of weightings , with
       effect from 1 January 1986 ( C0MC87 ) 454 final ).
       The proposal was accompanied by a report on improving the measurement
       of the rent element in response to the Council 's request to the
       Commission to consider ways of improving the method used for its
       calculation in the five-yearly verification .      The report was also
       based on a technical note from the Statistical Office of the
       European Communities , drawn up in agreement with the national
       statistical departments .
  2 . On the basis of the report 's conclusions the Statistical Office was
       instructed , first to check the presumed discrepancy in the cost of
        living between Culham and London, and second, for the sake of
       consistency , to make similar checks for Petten and Karlsruhe .
        The Statistical Office was also asked to assist the Inter-
        Organiza tion Section of the Coordinated Organizations in the
        surveys it was to carry out in Munich and Berlin .
   3. The surveys were carried out during the second half of 1987. The
        results were significant only for Culham and Berlin - given the
        adequate number of staff employed in both places . It is therefore
        proposed to supplement the proposal referred to above by creating
        a weighting for each of these places with effect from 1 January 1988.
        This information was sent to the representatives of the trade unions
        and staff association on 4 July; they have not expressed any
        objections to the proposal .

4. As the original proposal was submitted to the Council before the
   1987 annual salary adjustment , it could not adjust the weightings
   with effect from 1 July 1987 ; this is now possible .
   Lastly , the weighting for Greece also needs to be corrected with
   effect from 16 May 1986 in order to take account of the retroactive
   adjustment of the specific indicator for 1986, as does the weighting
   for Ireland with effect from 1 July 1986 to take account of a
   transcription error .
   The original proposal consequently needs to be amended to add the
   new weightings for Culham and Berlin , to complete the series of
   weightings corrected following the 1985 five-year verification
   with those applicable from 1 July 1987 , and to correct the
   weightings for Greece and Ireland .
