| schestowitz[TR2] | "Dear Colleagues, | Mar 11 06:30 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | The EPO is in an excellent financial situation thanks to the extraordinary efforts of EPO staff. | Mar 11 06:30 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | In the context of the review of the salary adjustment procedure for the period 2026-2031, EPO staff was expecting the Organisation to fulfil the principle of reversibility to the former underlying methodology and that the President would fulfil his promise that “[t]here is no desire to cut staff purchasing power or impose unnecessary savings”. | Mar 11 06:30 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | Instead, the proposed orientations on the new salary adjustment procedure plan a further erosion of EPO salaries and benefits, estimated at –1% per year below the evolution of costs of living according to the simulations over the period 2014–2025 provided by the Office. The proposed orientations again bear significant legal risks. | Mar 11 06:30 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | First, the financial implications show additional savings of 1.4B€ on top of the originally planned 2B€ for a total of 3.4B€ savings without any financial justification. Second, the proposal abolishes the historical principle of parallelism with civil servants (i.e. specific indicator) reflecting wage inflation. Third, in the proposed adjustment formula the reference salary scales in Belgium are not linked to anything reflect | Mar 11 06:30 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | ing the evolution of the prices of goods and services at the reference country such as national inflation (HICP BE). Therefore, the proposal cannot maintain purchasing power in any place of employment. | Mar 11 06:30 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | On 6 March 2026, the Central Staff Committee (CSC) sent an open letter to the Administrative Council to address i.a. these legal risks and the impact on recruitment and attractivity. | Mar 11 06:30 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | Read more in the open letter." | Mar 11 06:30 |
