COUNCIL REGULATION (EC, EURATOM, ECSC) No 2963/95 of 18  December 1995 adjusting the remuneration and pensions of officials and other servants of the  European Communities and the weightings applied thereto
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 Protocol on the Privileges and Immunities of the European Communities, and in  particular Article 13 thereof,
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 (ECSC, EC, Euratom) No 3161/94  (2), and in particular Articles 63,  64, 65, 65a and 82 of the Staff Regulations, Annex XI to the Staff Regulations, and the first  paragraph of Article 20 and Article 64 of the Conditions of Employment,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Whereas a review of the remuneration of officials and other servants carried out on the basis of a  report by the Commission has shown that the remuneration and pensions of officials and other  servants of the Communities should be adjusted under the 1995 annual review;
Whereas, in accordance with Annex XI to the Staff Regulations, the annual adjustment in respect of  1996 will entail the establishment before 31 December 1996 of new weightings with retroactive  effect from 1 July 1996;
Whereas these new weightings could lead to retroactive adjustments to remuneration and pensions  (positive or negative) in respect of the period of 1996 for which payment has already been made on  the basis of this Regulation;
Whereas provision should therefore be made for the payment of arrears in the event of an upward  adjustment as a result of these weightings or for the recovery of sums overpaid in the event of a  downward adjustment for the period between the date of application and the date of entry into force  of the Council Decision on the annual adjustment in respect of 1996;
Whereas provision should be made for the effects of any such recovery to be spread over a period of  not more than twelve months from the date of entry into force of the Council Decision on the annual  adjustment in respect of 1996,
