(1) Following its Decisions of 20 March 1972, 26 June 1976 and 31 December 1981, by Regulations (ECSC, EEC, Euratom) No 3830/1991(6) and (ECSC, EEC, Euratom) No 3831/1991(7), the Council inserted Annex XI to the Staff Regulations which confirms and further defines the method for the adjustment of remuneration, and Article 66a which introduces a temporary contribution deducted from the remuneration of officials and other servants of the Communities.

(2) Social partnerships which tend to avoid conflict have thus been a feature of relations between the European institutions and their staff and other servants with regard to the adjustment of remuneration.

(3) The current method and the temporary contribution expire on 30 June 2001 whereas the proposal from the Commission to the Council on revisions to the Staff Regulations in connection with the reform is scheduled for December 2001.

(4) Extending by two years the period of validity of the 'compromise method' would thus avoid having to conduct two separate sets of negotiations between the staff and the institutions, one on the reform and one on remuneration and pensions.

(5) The Staff Regulations of Officials and the Conditions of Employment applicable to Other Servants should therefore be amended to extend the period of validity of the method for adjusting remunerations and the temporary contribution.
