In accordance with Article 28a(11) and Article 96(11) of the Conditions of Employment of Other Servants, the Commission has submitted a report (2) on the financial situation of the unemployment benefit scheme for former members of the temporary or contract staff and accredited parliamentary assistants who are unemployed after the termination of their service in a European Union institution.

(2)

That report shows that taking account of the accumulated balance of the Unemployment Fund during the examined period, an adjustment of the contributions paid by temporary staff, contract staff and accredited parliamentary assistants to the Fund is necessary in the interests of the balance of the scheme.

(3)

The adjustment of the contributions to the unemployment insurance scheme involves an assessment of complex economic and human resources policy factors.

(4)

Article 28a(7) and Article 96(7) of the Conditions of Employment of Other Servants of the European Union should therefore be amended accordingly,

(1)

The second sentence of Article 28a(7) is replaced by the following:

‘That contribution shall be set at 0,51 % of the basic salary of the person concerned after deducting a standard allowance of EUR 1 585,45 and without taking account of the correction coefficients provided for in Article 64 of the Staff Regulations.’

(2)

The second sentence of Article 96(7) is replaced by the following:

‘That contribution shall be set at 0,51 % of the basic salary of the person concerned after deducting a standard allowance of EUR 1 189,08 and without taking account of the correction coefficients provided for in Article 64 of the Staff Regulations.’
