The President selected a base-2 scenario which foresaw deflation and an overall deficit of 3.8bn by 2038, and added a 2bn arbitrary buffer for closing the alleged gap. [11:02] schestowitz In May 2020, SUEPO mandated Ernst & Young to perform an analysis. Comparing the key assumptions of the 2019 study with those of other EPO documents, Ernst & Young found that the 2019 study consistently took an overly conservative approach. It was clear that the EPO had no deficit. [11:02] schestowitz In spite of this evidence, the President put in place as of July 2020 a new salary adjustment procedure aimed at closing the alleged gap and which cuts staff purchasing power. Instead of the alleged deflation, inflation materialized at the historical level of +9,1% in Germany[1] since then. At the same time, EPO salaries were adjusted by only +0,5%. [11:02] schestowitz Over the same period, the EPO saved on liabilities and increased its assets in the treasury fund and the pension reserve fund. Within only 2 years, the new salary adjustment procedure saved 1,33bn of the 2bn planned to be saved over 20 years. At the end of 2021 the actual budget surplus came to 385.7m, 10.6% better than 2020, and significantly above the budget figure of 214.8m.[2] [11:02] schestowitz The generated savings are currently not managed by staff. Staff has no say in the supervision of the treasury fund of the EPO and there is currently no mechanism to make cash payouts out of the pension reserve fund. [11:02] schestowitz In view of the excellent performance of the EPO, staff should be thanked for their effort instead of having a historical loss of purchasing power. This situation is neither justified nor sustainable. For the above reasons: [11:02] schestowitz SUEPO Munich requests an extraordinary salary adjustment to be applied as of 1 July 2022.
