<\/span>Adaptation des salaires en 2018<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Mise \u00e0 jour : le taux pour l’adaptation 2018 est de +1,7%  duquel il faut d\u00e9duire 0,2 pour l’augmentation des cotisations retraites pour les actifs, soit : 1,5% pour les actifs et 1,7% pour les retrait\u00e9s. – Update : adjustment rate for 2018 is : +1,7%, from which 0,2% is deducted for the pension contribution. Therefore, the net rate will be 1,5% for active staff and 1,7% for pensioners.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Adjustment of the pay and pensions of officials and other employees for 2018<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1. Adjustment of the pay of officials and employees of the European Union<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

At this stage, the figures are unknown. Some significant changes are still possible, depending in particular on the calculation of the pay increases of the German officials (+7% over 3 years). However, it is not certain that these increases will be included by Eurostat in its evaluation of September 2018, as the date to be taken into account is the effective date.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In any case, we can estimate the salary increase to be at least +1.5% for 2018. This minimum rise corresponds to the rate of inflation in Belgium in 2018. U4U\u2019s estimate is that this increase could be as much as 2%, if the situation in Germany is taken into consideration, according to the specific indicator that measures changes in the national civil services (excluding inflation).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. Pension scheme for officials and agents of the European Union<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The latest figures published concerning the debt to the budget of the Member States on 31 December 2017 amount to just over EUR 73 billion. This debt is mentioned in the 2017 EU balance sheet (amount to be called for from the Member States).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The change in this debt between 2016 and 2017 (+8.9%) stems from the application of the interest rate on the last day of the year to the virtual capital, in accordance with the accounting standards; although it would be necessary to apply an average rate corresponding to the lifetime of this debt, i.e. 60 years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The adjustment of the pension contributions of officials and agents to the pension scheme could increase slightly in 2018. This relates to the five-yearly actuarial assessment rather than the annual adjustment of the five-yearly assessment. In this case, the provisions of the Staff Regulations stipulate that the change must be strictly applied; unlike the annual adjustment, which only applies beyond +0.25% or -0.25%.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The calculation of this adjustment to the rate of contribution to the pension scheme for officials and agents is based on the following data, as provided for in annex XII of the Staff Regulations:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
