7 REFORM OF THE EU STAFF REGULATIONS The Council approved guidelines for future work on the proposal for a Regulation aimed at amending the staff regulations for European Union civil servants, with a view to facilitating agreement on an overall negotiating position. It requested the Permanent Representatives Committee to continue work with a view to concluding the dossier as soon as possible. The guidelines approved by the Council cover the key outstanding issues, in particular the pensions system, pay and allowances. The Commission's proposal is part of an overhaul of personnel policy covering all aspects from recruitment to retirement. Enlargement of the EU will require administrative changes, in particular with the integration of large numbers of staff from the new Member States. The reform is due to be concluded by June 2003, when current arrangements on pay and pensions will run out. The proposal is aimed at: Strengthening the principle of merit in the EU civil service, with a better link between performance and career development. Modernising policy on equal opportunities, social facilities and working conditions, so as to continue recruitment and to maintain highly qualified multi lingual staff; Maintaining budgetary rigour by respecting the expenditure ceiling provided for under the EU's financial perspectives and ensuring cost control in the medium term. 6942/03 (Presse 64) 7
