                         Proposal for a
     COUNCIL REGULATION (EC. EURATOM. ECSC)
                 laying down the weightings
              applicable from 1 January 1995
to the remuneration of officials of the European Communities
                   serving in third countries
               (presented by the Commission)

    On 5 October 1987, by Regulation No 3019/87, the Staff Regulations were amended by
    the addition of an Annex X laying down special and exceptional provisions, including
    special arrangements for emoluments, applicable to officials of the European Communi-
    ties 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 Belgian francs 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 of remuneration paid in local currency is subject to a
    weighting. Article 13 of Annex X requires the Council of the European Union to
    determine the weightings for third countries every six months.
    This proposal relates to the adjustment of weightings applicable in third countries with
    effect from 1 January 1995. The budgetary impact is negligible compared with the total
    operating costs of the delegations.
II. Council of the European Union Regulation (EEC, Euratom, ECSC) No 2175/88
    of 18 July 1988 laid down the initial weightings applicable from 10 October 1987.
    Since then these weightings have been adjusted by the Council of the European Union
    every six months, most recently by Regulation No 2356/95 of 5 October 1995 which
    took effect on 1 January 1994.
    The remuneration system for staff serving in countries outside the Community is based
    on equivalent purchasing power for Brussels and the various places of employment.
    Application of this principle is based on the calculation of purchasing power parities
    (PPPs) for local currencies in relation to the Belgian franc. The weighting is the factor
    obtained by dividing the PPP by the exchange rate. This means that implementation of
    a weightings system primarily involves calculating purchasing power parities for
    Brussels and the various places of employment.
    The exchange rates selected for accounting purposes are those for December 1994.
    Table A shows for each place of employment the economic parity calculated by the
     Statistical Office of the European Communities (SOEC) for January 1995, the exchange
     rate selected and the resulting weighting, applicable from 1 January 1995.
    The SOEC has calculated the economic parities for each country shown in Table B. The
     parities used apply from 1 January 1995.

THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing a Single Council and a Single Commission of the
European Communities,
Having regard to the Staff Regulations of officials of the European Communities and the
conditions of employment of other servants of the Communities laid down by Regulation
(EEC, Euratom, ECSC) No 259/68 1 , as last amended by Regulation (EC, Euratom, ECSC)
No 3161/94 2 and in particular the first paragraph of Article 13 of Annex X,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Whereas account should be taken of changes in the cost of living in countries outside the
Community and weightings applicable to remuneration payable in the currency of the country
of employment to officials serving in third countries should be determined with effect from
1 January 1995;
Whereas, under Annex X of the Staff Regulations, the Council sets the weightings every six
months; whereas it will accordingly have to set new weightings for the coming half-years, and,
in particular, those applicable from 1 July 1995;
Whereas the weightings to apply with effect from 1 July 1995 in respect of which payment
has been made on the basis of a previous regulation could lead to retrospective adjustments
to remuneration (positive or negative);
Whereas provision should be made for back-payments in the event of an increase in
remunerations as a result of these weightings;

reduction in remunerations as a result of these weightings for the period between 1 July 1995

1995;
Whereas, however, in order to mirror the weightings applicable within the European
Community to remuneration and pensions of officials and other servants of the European
Communities, provision should be made for any such recovery to apply solely to a period of
no more than 6 months preceding the decision and for its effects to be spread over a period
of no more than 12 months following the date of that decision;

                                             Article 1
With effect from 1 January 1995, the weightings applicable to remuneration payable in the
currency of the country of employment shall be as shown in the Annex.
The exchange rates for the calculation of such remuneration shall be those used for
implementation of the general budget of the European Communities for the month preceding
the date referred to in the first paragraph.
                                             Article 2
In accordance with the first paragraph of Article 13 of Annex X of the Staff Regulations, the
Council shall set weightings every six months. It shall accordingly set new weightings with
effect from 1 July 1995.
The institutions shall make back payments in the event of an increase in remuneration as a
result of these weightings.
For the period between 1 July 1995 and the date of the Council decision setting the weightings
applicable with effect from 1 July 1995, the institutions shall make retrospective downward
adjustments to remuneration in the event of a reduction as a result of these weightings.

only a period of no more than 6 months preceding the decision and this recovery shall be

                                          Article 3
