   (2006/32/EC)
   THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,
   Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
   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 Council Regulation (EEC, Euratom, ECSC) No 259/68 (1), and in particular the second paragraph of Article 13 of Annex X thereto,
   Having regard to the Treaty of Accession of the 10 new Member States, and in particular Article 33(4) thereof,
   Whereas:
   
               (1)
            
            
               Pursuant to the first paragraph of Article 13 of Annex X to the Staff Regulations, the weightings to be applied from 1 July 2004 to the remuneration of officials, contract staff and temporary staff of the European Communities serving in third countries payable in the currency of their country of employment were last laid down by Council Regulation (EC, Euratom) No 257/2005 (2).
            
         
               (2)
            
            
               Some of these weightings need to be adjusted in accordance with the second paragraph of Article 13 of Annex X to the Staff Regulations, with effect from 1 February, 1 March, 1 April, 1 May and 1 June 2005, since the statistics available to the Commission show that in certain third countries the variation in the cost of living measured on the basis of the weighting and the corresponding exchange rate has exceeded 5 % since weightings were last laid down or adjusted,
            
         HAS DECIDED AS FOLLOWS:
   Sole Article
   With effect from 1 February, 1 March, 1 April, 1 May and 1 June 2005, the weightings applied to the remuneration of officials, temporary staff and contract staff of the European Communities serving in third countries and of certain officials remaining in post in the 10 new Member States for a maximum period of 15 months after accession, payable in the currency of the country of employment, shall be adjusted as shown in the Annex hereto.
   The exchange rates used for the calculation of this remuneration shall be established in accordance with the rules for the implementation of the Financial Regulation and shall correspond to the date of application of the weightings.
