Europol: adjusting the basic salaries and allowances applicable to staff. Initiative Sweden

PURPOSE : to adjust the basic salaries and allowances applicable to Europol staff. COMMUNITY MEASURE : Council Decision adjusting the basic salaries and allowances applicable to Europol staff. CONTENT : the Swedish Initiative intends to adjust the basic salaries and allowances applicable to Europol staff as well as the changes in salary and renumerations which have been paid taking account of the changes in the review of the level of renumerations of the Europol staff by the Europol Managment Board. To recall, Europol's Management Board regularly reviews the level of renumerations in order to take into account the cost of living in the Hague (Netherlands, Europol's Head Quarters) as well as changes in salaries in the public service in the Member States and the needs of recruitment for Europol. The review justifies an increase of 3,7% of renumeration for the period between 01.07.1999 and 01.07.2000. ENTRY INTO FORCE : 16 March 2001. The decision takes effect from 1 July 1999.
