Annual adjustment of pay and pensions for 2008
- The Council has adopted the Commission proposal adjusting salaries
and pensions, backdated to 1 July 2008(1), pursuant to Annex
XI to the Staff Regulations ("the Method").
The adjustment to pay and pensions in Belgium and Luxembourg is +3.0%.
For other places of employment, the adjustment will vary depending on
the simultaneous effects of weightings and exchange rates.
If adjustment necessitates the recovery of sums overpaid, such recovery
may be spread over a period of not more than 12 months, as provided for
in Article 3(6) of Annex XI to the Staff Regulations.
- The special levy has increased, with effect from 1 January
2009, by +0.43 percentage points (from 4.21% to 4.64%), as
already foreseen in Article 66a of the Staff Regulations.
- The pension contributions rate has increased by 0.65 percentage
points(2) (from 10.25% to 10.9%).
