As the European Court of Justice has already confirmed several times (the last time on 24 November 2010 in Case C-40/10), under the Staff Regulations the Council has no margin of discretion, but has to adopt the adjustment value calculated by the Commission.
Euroopa Kohus on juba mitu korda kinnitanud (viimati 24. novembril 2010 seoses juhtumiga C-40/10), et personalieeskirjade kohaselt ei ole nõukogul muud võimalust kui komisjoni arvutatud kohandusväärtus kinnitada.
