COUNCIL DECISION
of 19 December 2011
concerning the Commission’s proposal for a Council Regulation adjusting with the effect from 1 July 2011 the remuneration and pension of the officials and other servants of the European Union and the correction coefficients applied thereto
(2011/866/EU)
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION,
Having regard to the Treaty on European Union and the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to the Staff Regulations of Officials and the Conditions of Employment of Other Servants of the European Union laid down by Regulation (EEC, Euratom, ECSC) No 259/68, and in particular Article 65 of the Staff Regulations and Annexes VII, XI and XIII thereto, and Article 20 of the Conditions of Employment of Other Servants,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission for a Council Regulation adjusting with the effect from 1 July 2011 the remuneration and pension of the officials and other servants of the Union and the correction coefficients applied thereto,
Whereas:
(1) |
In light of a serious and sudden deterioration in the economic and social situation within the Union, on 17 December 2010, the Council requested the Commission to implement Article 10 of Annex XI to the Staff Regulations by presenting an appropriate proposal for the annual adjustment 2011. The Commission, on 13 July 2011, submitted to the Council the report on the exception clause (Article 10 of Annex XI to the Staff Regulations) — (‘the report’) covering the period from 1 July 2010 to mid-May 2011. On the basis of the report, the Commission concluded that the conditions for applying the exception clause were not met. |

(3) |
Consequently and in view of the financial and economic crisis currently taking place within the Union and resulting in substantial fiscal adjustments in a great number of Member States, on 4 November 2011, the Council repeated its request to the Commission to implement Article 10 of Annex XI to the Staff Regulations on the basis of data reflecting the economic and social situation in autumn 2011 and to submit an appropriate remuneration adjustment proposal in good time to allow the European Parliament and the Council to examine and adopt it before the end of 2011. |
(4) |
The Commission, on 25 November 2011, presented to the Council supplementary information on the Commission report on the exception clause of 13 July 2011 (‘the supplementary information’). The conclusions drawn by the Commission remained that the conditions for triggering the exception clause were not met. |
(5) |
In effect, the Commission’s proposal for a Council Regulation adjusting with the effect from 1 July 2011 the remuneration and pension of the officials and other servants of the Union and the correction coefficients applied thereto follows the method set out in Annex XI to the Staff Regulations. The figure for the annual adjustment 2011 proposed by the Commission is 1,7 %. |
(6) |
The Council considers that neither of the documents submitted by the Commission, namely, the ‘report’ and the ‘supplementary information’, provides for an accurate and comprehensive reflection of the current economic and social situation within the Union. |
(7) |
Moreover, in the view of the Council, the Commission made an error in defining the time span to be covered by its analysis too narrowly. That error prevented the Commission from making a proper assessment of the situation and therefore has significantly distorted the conclusions derived from both documents, namely that there was no sudden and serious deterioration of an... |
