Salary adaptation 2011: we lost the battle but there’s still hope…

21/11/2013 No comments
The Tribunal pronounced in favour of the Council but this doesn’t mean that the salary adjustment for 2011 is definitively lost. The Court stated that it was the duty of the Council – and not of the Commission – to verify the existence of a serious and sudden deterioration of the economic and social situation. As a consequence, the Commission now has the possibility to present to the Council and the European Parliament a new proposal that takes the exception clause into consideration. This new proposal can be accepted or refused according to the codecision procedure. Staff representatives will be applying all needed pressure on the Commission. 

While there is no guarantee that the situation can be resolved with such a new proposal, the Commission has a duty to take all the necessary measures to ensure staff obtain what is rightfully due for 2011, and also for 2012.
R&D Ispra will keep you updated concerning this procedure that represents a very important step towards the correct allocation of roles among Commission, Council, Parliament and Court of Justice; we will contribute in order to obtain the best outcome for all staff.
