SPECIAL ADJUSTMENT OF SALARIES AT 1 MAY 2022 FOR GERMANY
CCR Report (307th Report)
1. Introduction
1.1 Article 8 of the 280th Report by the Co-ordinating Committee on Remuneration (CCR) relating to the salary adjustment method for staff of the Co-ordinated Organisations [CCR/R(2021)4][2] stipulates that the CCR shall send to Governing bodies of the Co-ordinated Organisations a recommendation providing for a special adjustment of salaries when the relevant consumer price index in a country shows an increase of more than 7% over three consecutive months since the beginning of the reference period of 1 July of a given year to 1 July of the following year.
1.2 Each time the threshold of 7% is exceeded, the special adjustment shall be equivalent to the threshold, i.e. 7%, and shall take effect the month following the first month when the threshold is exceeded.
2. Results of the application of the procedure
2.1 In Germany, the increase in the official cost-of-living index, measured for the purposes of the 280th Report by the Harmonised Index of Consumer Prices (HICP), since 1 July 2021 has passed the threshold of 7% for three consecutive months: April 2022 (7.1%), May 2022 (8.3%) and June 2022 (8.2%), rising from the HICP value of 109.10 to 116.90, 118.20 and 118.10, respectively. The resulting special adjustment equals the amount of the threshold, which is 7%.
2.2 Therefore, the CCR recommends to Governing bodies that the salaries for all categories of staff in Germany be adjusted by 7% with effect from 1 May 2022.
3. Conclusions
3.1 Position of the CRSG
The CRSG welcomes the application of Article 8 of the 280th Report on the special adjustment of salaries at 1 May 2022 in Germany.
3.2 Position of the CRP
The CRP notes the 7 % increase in salaries for Germany in the form of a special adjustment, with effect from 1 May 2022, pursuant to the mechanism set out in the 280th CCR Report.
4. Recommendation
The Co-ordinating Committee on Remuneration recommends Governing bodies:
a) to decide that, as a special adjustment, the salaries, as adjusted at 1 January 2022, be increased by 7% for Germany with effect from 1 May 2022;
b) to note that, in accordance with the interpretation given to paragraph 3 of the 34th Report by the CCG [CCG(65)5], the salaries of auxiliary staff serving in the Co‑ordinated Organisations, if applicable, will be adjusted in accordance with the provisions of this report.
