(1) A review of the remuneration of officials and other servants carried out on the basis of a report by the Commission has shown that the remuneration and pensions of officials and other servants of the Communities should be adjusted under the 2002 annual review.

(2) The annual adjustment in respect of 2003 could entail the establishment before 31 December 2003 of new weightings with retroactive effect from 1 July 2003.

(3) These new weightings could lead to retroactive adjustments to remuneration and pensions (positive or negative) in respect of the period of 2003 for which payments have already been made on the basis of this Regulation.

(4) Provision should therefore be made for the payment of arrears in the event of an upward adjustment as a result of these weightings or for the recovery of sums overpaid in the event of a downward adjustment for the period between the effective date and the date of entry into force of the Council's decision on the annual adjustment in respect of 2003.

(5) Provision should be made for the effects of any such recovery to be spread over a period of not more than twelve months following the date of entry into force of the Councils decision on the annual adjustment in respect of 2003.
