Weightings applicable in third countries

Articles 12 and 13 of Annex X to the Staff Regulations

Article 12 of Annex X to the Staff Regulations allows officials serving in third countries to be paid all or part of their remuneration in the currency of the country of employment. Where that is done a weighting is applied to the portion payable in local currency.

The weighting for each place of employment is fixed by the Council every six months, as laid down in Article 13(1) of Annex X.

The Council adopted regulation N° 1338/2003 ¹ laying down these weightings applicable from 1 January 2003, on 23 July 2003.

The enclosed table shows the new economic parity, corresponding exchange rate and resulting weighting for January 2003 for these places of employment.

Another administrative notice will be circulated shortly listing places of employment for which an interim adjustment has been applied.
