Since the discussions on a reform of the staff regulations are still ongoing the Commission suggested to the Council and the European Parliament at the end of November that the method be prolonged temporarily for one year, together with a special levy of up to 5.5% which would otherwise also expire at the end of this year.
Kuna arutelu personalieeskirjade reformi üle on alles pooleli, tegi komisjon nõukogule ja Euroopa Parlamendile novembri lõpus ettepaneku pikendada nimetatud meetodi kohaldamist ajutiselt ühe aasta võtta, koos kuni 5,5%ni ulatuva erimaksuga, mille kohaldamine lõpeks samuti 2012. aasta lõpus.
