Weightings applicable in third countries

Articles 12 and 13 of Annex X to the Staff Regulations

In accordance with the first paragraph of Article 12 of Annex X to the Staff Regulations, the salary of officials serving in third countries may be paid in currency of the country of employment. In this case a weighting is applied to the part paid in local currency (since the entry into force of the new Staff Regulations on 1 May 2004 these provisions apply to contract staff serving in third countries).

In accordance with the second paragraph of Article 13, the Commission may decide to adjust the weighting when the change in the economic parity is found to have exceeded 5% since the last adjustment.

The Commission adopted the decision adjusting the weightings applicable to certain places of employment from 1 February 2006, 1 March 2006, 1 April 2006, 1 May 2006 and 1 June 2006, on 12 December 2006 .

The tables at annex set out, for the places of employment concerned, the new economic parities, the corresponding exchange rates, the resulting weightings and the dates on which the changes in economic parity exceeding 5% took place.
