THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, and in particular Article 336 thereof,
Having regard to the Staff Regulations of officials of the European Communities and the conditions of employment of other servants of the Communities laid down by Regulation (EEC, Euratom, ECSC) No 259/68 of the Council(1), and in particular the second paragraph of Article 13 of Annex X thereto,
Whereas:
(1) In accordance with the first paragraph of Article 13 of Annex X to the Staff Regulations, the weightings to be applied from 1 July 2009 to the remuneration of officials, temporary staff and contract staff of the European Union serving in third countries payable in the currency of their country of employment were laid down by Council Regulation (EU) No 768/2010(2).
(2) Some of these weightings need to be adjusted in accordance with the second paragraph of Article 13 of Annex X to the Staff Regulations, with effect from 1 February, 1 March, 1 April, 1 May and 1 June 2010, since the statistics available to the Commission show that in certain third countries the variation in the cost of living measured on the basis of the weighting and the corresponding exchange rate has exceeded 5 % (since weightings were last laid down or since they were adjusted by the Commission Decision 2010/790/EU(3)),
HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:
The weightings applied to the remuneration of officials, temporary staff and contract staff of the European Union serving in third countries, payable in the currency of the country of employment, shall be adjusted for certain countries as shown in the Annex hereto. It contains five monthly tables showing which countries are affected and the dates of application for each one (1 February 2010, 1 March 2010, 1 April 2010, 1 May 2010 and 1 June 2010).
The exchange rates used for the calculation of this remuneration shall be established in accordance with the detailed rules for the implementation of the Financial Regulation and correspond to the dates referred to in the first paragraph.
This Decision shall enter into force on the first day of the month following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.
Done at Brussels, 26 May 2011.
For the Commission, On behalf of the President,
Catherine Ashton
Vice-President
