( STAFF REGULATIONS OF OFFICIALS OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES, ANNEX VII )

Summary

THE WITHDRAWAL OF THE EXPATRIATION ALLOWANCE FOLLOWING THE MARRIAGE OF THE RECIPIENT, WHICH MIGHT BE JUSTIFIED IN CASES IN WHICH THIS CHANGE IN THE FAMILY SITUATION IS SUCH AS TO BRING TO AN END THE STATE OF " EXPATRIATION " MUST HOWEVER BE DEPENDENT ON UNIFORM CRITERIA, IRRESPECTIVE OF SEX .

CONSEQUENTLY, BY RENDERING THE RETENTION OF THE ALLOWANCE SUBJECT TO THE ACQUISITION OF THE STATUS OF " HEAD OF HOUSEHOLD " - AS IT IS DEFINED IN ARTICLE 1 ( 3 ) OF ANNEX VII - THE STAFF REGULATIONS HAVE CREATED AN ARBITRARY DIFFERENCE OF TREATMENT BETWEEN OFFICIALS .
