DECISION OF THE BUREAU OF THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT

of 16 December 2020

amending the Implementing Measures for the Statute for Members of the European Parliament

(2020/C 444/01)

THE BUREAU OF THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT,

Having regard to the Statute for Members of the European Parliament (1),

Having regard to Rule 25 of the Rules of Procedure of the European Parliament,

Whereas:

(1)

In accordance with Article 69(1) of the Implementing Measures for the Statute for Members of the European Parliament (2) (‘the Implementing Measures’), the amounts of the reimbursable travel expenses, daily subsistence allowance and general expenditure allowance may be index-linked annually by the Bureau, up to a maximum increase equal to the annual inflation rate in the European Union in October of the previous year, as published by Eurostat.

(2)

The inflation rate in the European Union for the period from October 2019 to October 2020, as notified by Eurostat on 18 November 2020, stands at 0,3 %. The new amounts resulting from the adjustment needed in order to take that inflation rate into account should apply from 1 January 2021 and the Implementing Measures should be amended accordingly.

(3)

Pursuant to Article 69(2) of the Implementing Measures, the maximum amount of parliamentary assistance costs defrayable in respect of the personal staff referred to in Article 33(4) of the Implementing Measures is, where appropriate, to be index-linked annually on the basis of data established pursuant to Article 65 of the Staff Regulations of Officials of the European Union laid down by Council Regulation (EEC, Euratom, ECSC) No 259/68 (3).

(4)

In that connection, the Commission has fixed the adjustment rate for 2020 at 0,7 %. Accordingly, the maximum monthly amount defrayable for parliamentary assistance expenses should be increased to EUR 25 620 with effect from 1 July 2020.
