COUNCIL REGULATION  (EEC, EURATOM, ECSC) No 3765/92
of 21 December 1992
correcting, with effect from 1 January 1991,  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
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN  COMMUNITIES
,
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 and the Conditions of Employment of Other  Servants of the European Communities laid down by Regulation (EEC, Euratom, ECSC) No 259/68  (1),  as last amended by Regulation (EEC, Euratom, ECSC) No 571/92  (2), and in particular Articles 64  and 82 of the Staff Regulations and the first paragraph of Article 20 and Article 64 of the  Conditions of Employment,
Having regard to Council Decision 81/1061/Euratom, ECSC, EEC of 15 December 1981 amending the  method of adjusting the remuneration of officials and other servants of the Communities  (3), and  in particular the second subparagraph of Section II.1.1 of the Annex thereto,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Whereas the Statistical Office of the European Communities has carried out a verification of the  weightings for all Member States in accordance with the method for adjusting the remuneration of  officials and other servants of the European Communities, as adopted by the Council on 15 December  1981;
Whereas the findings of this verification have shown that the weightings that ought to be applied  in a number of countries of employment diverge significantly from those in force;
Whereas Article 64 of the Staff Regulations provides for equivalence of purchasing power between  the various places of employment;
Whereas it is necessary, if the preliminary weightings applicable in some places of employment are  adjusted upwards, to adjust accordingly with retroactive effect remuneration of the officials  concerned and, if weightings are adjusted downwards, to recover from the officials concerned the  amounts paid in excess;
Whereas it is necessary however to protect the nominal value of remuneration of the officials from  whom amounts are to be recovered;
Whereas, in certain places of employment where the weightings are lower as compared with those in  force when this Regulation will take effect for the first time, provision should be made for a  phased application by set-off against any increases to be made at a future date;
Whereas it is therefore necesssary to amend the Regulations establishing, with effect form 1  January 1991, the weightings applicable to Denmark, Germany, Greece, Spain, France, Ireland, Italy,  the Netherlands, the United Kingdom and Portugal,
