Annual adjustment of pay and pensions for 2009
- The Council has decided to modify the Commission proposal adjusting
remuneration and pensions, backdated to 1 July 2009(1)
, and not to apply, the method laid down in Annex XI to the Staff
Regulations. The European Commission brought an action for annulment
against the Council Regulation on 22nd January 2010. The
Council Regulation foresees an increase of 1.85% instead of the 3.7%
initially calculated by the Commission.
The adjustment to pay and pensions in Belgium and Luxembourg is
+1.85%. 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 2010,
by +0.43 percentage points (from 4.64% to 5.07%), as already
foreseen in Article 66a of the Staff Regulations.
- The pension contributions rate has increased by 0.40 percentage points(2)
(from 10.9% to 11.3%).
