Content of this presentation Reminder of timeline and report structure Reminder who is affected Overview of A64 elements in report: JBLI CC for Intra-EU staff CC for Pensioners CC for Extra-EU staff Link to other presentations

Similar production timeline to previous A year-long exercise! Legal requirements respected 1st Extra-EU report via Ares 24.4.18 (Aug-Jan) Interim report via Ares 3.5.18 (@ 1.January) 2nd Extra-EU report via Ares 10.10.18 (Feb-Jun) Annual report via Ares 31.10.18 (@ 1.July) Analytical categories report onto website 16.1.19

Only just achieved for 2018? Extra #1 = 2 wks late 24.04.18 (PY 12.04.17) Interim = 3 wks late 03.05.18 (PY 18.04.17) Extra #2 = 3 wks late 10.10.18 (PY 22.09.17) Annual = 1 wks late 31.10.18 (PY 24.10.17) Analytic = 5 wks late 16.01.19 (PY 06.12.17) Annex 2 = 5 wks late 16.01.19 (PY 06.12.17) Reason: 50% staff cut (delayed recruit/non-replacement) Competing (increased) workload

Subsequent steps also similar timeline Since 2013 reform, automatic adoption procedure: Interim report: only if % change exceeds threshold Annual report: all values are updated Eurostat calculation, followed by: DGHR budget impact report internal administrative processes Council WPSR for information Communication in Official Journal pay slips INTERIM ANNUAL April/May November [May] [June] December June (retro) December (retro)

Report structure and content

Intermediate Reports Extra-EU #1 (ref. Aug-Jan) To DGHR 24.4.18 [figures already presented at GTR 19.4.18] Interim (ref. January) To DGHR 3.5.18 Extra-EU #2 (ref. Feb-Jun) To DGHR 10.10.18

Intra-EU intermediate report structure and content 2018 = 5th Intra-EU interim report under Staff Regulations as amended October 2013 Similar transparent content as last year's report, new PPP change tables MAIN TEXT 6 pages 0 tables Annex 1 - SI 5 pages 4 tables Annex 2 - JBLI 3 pages 6 tables Annex 3 - CC 9 pages 5 tables Annex 4 - CC+SI 1 page 24 15 + non sample + PPP change section PY = 24 PY = 13

Extra-EU intermediate reports structure and content 2018 = 9th and 10th Extra-EU interim reports under Staff Regulations as amended October 2013 Similar transparent content as last year's reports, more explanatory text Period Main text Annex Aug-Jan 4 pages 13 pages 13 tables (6 months) Feb-Jun 11 pages 11 tables (5 months) Same structure as PY

Did 2018 Intermediate Reports result in CC changes? Duty stations Changes signalled Intra-EU staff 33 (ie.31) - Pensioners 28 (ie.26) Extra-EU (1st) 145 (ie. 144) 4* + 15 = 19 Extra-EU (2nd) 5* + 32 = 37 PY - 26 45 * CC > 100 Restart WestBank (1st) + South-Sudan (2nd). None stopped.

Annual Report structure and content 2018 = Fifth annual report under Staff Regulations as amended October 2013 Similar transparency content to last year's report. New Extra-EU table. New STF+PEN summary box + more components to explain than usual. MAIN TEXT 26 pages 10 tables Appendix 1a - SI 34 pages 21 tables Appendix 1b - JBLI 6 pages 4 tables Appendix 1c - CC 53 pages 18 tables 119 pages 52 tables More explanation (-2) Add 9.2, summary of components STF,PEN (+8) PY = 100 PY = 55

Who/what is affected by the JBLI Remuneration in Brussels/Luxembourg (+ therefore everywhere else) of: Active EU staff (permanent, temporary, contract) of EU institutions - eg. in EU Representations, Joint Research Centres, Extra-EU Delegations - and of EU Agencies Seconded teachers at European Schools Retired EU staff, plus transfers into/from EU pension scheme By collaboration: Staff of other international organisations (UN, OECD, EPO, EuroControl, EIB, ECB, …) input into CC calculation

Who/what is affected by the CC Remuneration outside Brussels/Luxembourg of: Active EU staff (permanent, temporary, contract) of EU institutions - eg. in EU Representations, Joint Research Centres, Extra-EU Delegations - and of EU Agencies Seconded teachers at European Schools Retired EU staff, plus transfers into/from EU pension scheme Other: Researcher mobility under FP7; Education mobility under LLL (LdV, Comenius, Eurasmus); Equalisation coefficients in Joint Sickness Insurance Scheme; Mission expenses (DSA and hotel ceilings) By collaboration: Staff of other international organisations (UN, OECD, EPO, EuroControl, EIB, ECB, …)

Numerical example (constant PPP fluctuating XR) NB. Only PPP component of CC is relevant: exchange rate impact cancels out CC = PPP ÷ ER so it can be noted that when Euro salaries are paid in local currency and have the CC applied to them, the exchange rate impact is effectively removed to leave only the price level impact, as can be seen in the following diagram. Salary in Brussels (in Euro) Exchange rate (Euro to currency) Correction coefficient (= PPP ÷ Exchange rate) Salary in duty station (in currency) Numerical example (constant PPP fluctuating XR) 1000 EUR x 77.1% (= 3.206 / 4.160) x 4.160 = 3206 local 1000 EUR x 71.2% (= 3.206 / 4.500) x 4.500 = 3206 local 1000 EUR x 82.2% (= 3.206 / 3.900) x 3.900 = 3206 local

Extra-EU methodology vs Intra-EU CC calculated on a monthly basis, and presented in two Intermediate Reports plus the Annual Report. New CC apply once PPP variation from existing value exceeds 5%. Application of CC is at discretion of staff, thus CC is generally only requested if value >100. Switch to Intra-EU 80BH classification implemented 2017. New FBS weights in 2018 allow integration of available healthcare and education price data

28 new UN survey data introduced… 1 for 1st Intermediate Report (West Bank/Gaza Strip) 26 for 2nd Intermediate Report Feb-June 2018: Angola, Azerbaijan, Barbados, Benin, Cambodia, Cape Verde, Democratic Republic Congo, Egypt, Eritrea, Ethiopia, Georgia, Guinea, Guinea-Bissau, Laos, Mali, Namibia, Niger, Panama, Rwanda, Singapore, South-Sudan, Sri Lanka, Sudan, Timor Leste, Turkmenistan, Vanuatu. 1 for July 2018 (Mongolia) …plus 12 other new PPP data 7x ISRP locations AUS, CAN, JAP, KOR, MEX, NZL, USAWDC 5x ECP locations IS, NO, CHBer, CHGen, TR (not Balkans)

Summary of UN P2P processed in 2018 and integrated for CC production Duty stations Number of surveys processed (2017 UN Surveys) 28 Impact = move CC <100 to CC >100 Impact = move CC >100 to CC <100(Rep Dem Congo from 227 to 88) 1 Restarted (South Sudan from 0 to 125)(West Bank/Gaza using Jerusalem) 2 New delegation (Mongolia from 0 to 66.5) Replacing oldest survey (Namibia) Feb-2008 Replacing most recent survey (Eritrea surveyed every year) Jun-2016 => Average BH coverage 63/80 = 79% => Average BH estimated 17/80 = 21% Egypt, Rwanda, Ethiopia, Rep Dem Congo, Guinea Bissau, Vanuatu, Niger, Sudan, Sri Lanka, Barbados, Benin, Cape Verde, Angola, Guinea, Mali, Namibia, Azerbaijan, Cambodia, Georgia, Laos, Panama, Singapore, South Sudan, Eritrea, Timor Leste, Turkmenistan, Mongolia

% Coverage DS by P2P since 1991 90% DS processed within 9 years 100% DS with CC>100 processed within 6 years Except for NY and Nouméa (9 years) 90 % within 9 years hence 131 out of 145 Keeping in mind 10 DS (meaning an additional 7%) have a CC = 0 means 141 out of 145, this left 4 DS not accounted which are: bangladesh Dhaka; Vietnam; Pakistan; West Bank Gaza were surveyed in 92, 96; 99 and 2000 respectively. Other DS like New Caledonia, Hong Kong were surveyed in 2009. Taiwan in 2016

90% coverage comments Target per manual = refresh basic data 5-7 years UN cycles =5 yr so theoretical max. delay =10 yr 90% coverage of 145 DS means 131 DS covered Adding 10 DS with no CC means 141 DS (97%) Leaves 4 DS that were surveyed before 2009: Bangladesh Dhaka 1992 Vietnam 1996 Pakistan 1999 West Bank Gaza 2000 [NB. now use Jerusalem]

Decrease CC Dem.Rep.Congo Both X-rates CDF and USD were fixed. Parity Dem.Rep.Congo was expressed in USD. UN P2Ps processed gave the following results: Ex: 1 Kg rice that was priced 7.64 USD in 2016 was priced 2.39 USD in 2017. Inflation and X-rates are not linked since the difficulty to keep the PPP expressed in USD once a P2P survey is performed.

X-Rates CDF and USD (to Euro)

History 13 DS & USD or local money

New Caledonia Satellite office Delegation Pacific Fiji French overseas territory Decolonisation started 1988: independence referendum 1998, 2018 and 2022. Not yet independent, not covered by UN and not surveyed since 2009. Options: CC New.Cal. =CC France (c.100 excl rent) Or =CC Fiji (c.80) Or New survey (for 2 pers) Or PPP extended as now

New-York (UN reference city) UN new approach (2016) using ECP methodology First UN test suggest a difference of 18% ECP products (new to UN, albeit similar) Shops selected using ECP approach (new to UN) Eurostat is seeking cooperation with BLS-UN-ISRP to run next survey in NY using ECP approach. All UN next P2Ps are pending decision on New-York results (Ref city) Eurostat will use ECP prices collected in Brussels. Meanwhile CC = extrapolating 2009 survey…

Summary of ECP processed in period NB.
