Official Journal L 047 , 19/02/2002 P. 0004 - 0007


Council Regulation (EC, ECSC, Euratom) No 302/2002

of 12 February 2002

laying down the weightings applicable from 1 July 2001 to the remuneration of officials of the European Communities serving in third countries

THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION,

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 Regulation (EEC, Euratom, ECSC) No 259/68(1), as last amended by Regulation (EC, ECSC, Euratom) No 2581/2001(2), and in particular the first paragraph of Article 13 of Annex X thereto,

Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,

Whereas:

(1) Account should be taken of changes in the cost of living in countries outside the Community and weightings applicable to remuneration payable in the currency of the country of employment to officials serving in third countries should be determined with effect from 1 July 2001.

(2) Under Annex X of the Staff Regulations, the Council sets the weightings every six months and it will accordingly have to set new weightings for the coming half-years.

(3) The weightings to apply with effect from 1 July 2001 in respect of which payment has been made on the basis of a previous regulation could lead to retrospective adjustments to remuneration (upwards or downwards).

(4) Provision should be made for back-payments in the event of an increase in remuneration as a result of these weightings.

(5) Provision should be made for the recovery of sums overpaid in the event of a reduction in remuneration as a result of these weightings for the period between 1 July 2001 and the date of the Council Decision setting the weightings to apply with effect from 1 July 2001.

(6) However, in order to mirror the weightings applicable within the Community to remuneration and pensions of officials and other servants of the European Communities, such recovery should be restricted to a period of no more than six months preceding the Decision, and for its effects to be spread over a period of no more than 12 months following the date of that Decision,

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

Article 1

With effect from 1 July 2001, the weightings applicable to remuneration payable in the currency of the country of employment shall be as shown in the Annex.

The exchange rates for the calculation of such remuneration shall be those used for implementation of the general budget of the European Union for the month preceding the date referred to in the first paragraph.

Article 2

In accordance with the first paragraph of Article 13 of Annex X of the Staff Regulations, the Council shall set weightings every six months. It shall accordingly set new weightings with effect from 1 January 2002.

The institutions shall make back-payments in the event of an increase in remuneration as a result of these weightings.

For the period between 1 July 2001 and the date of the Council Decision setting the weightings applicable with effect from 1 July 2001, the institutions shall make retrospective downward adjustments to remuneration in the event of a reduction as a result of these weightings.

Retrospective adjustments involving the recovery of sums overpaid shall, however, be restricted to a period of no more than six months preceding the decision, and recovery shall be spread over no more than 12 months from the date of that Decision.

Article 3

This Regulation shall enter into force on the day of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.

This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

Done at Brussels, 12 February 2002.

For the Council

The President
