Judgment_paragraph 67 · European Commission v Council of the European Union (C-40/10)

67In the light of the foregoing considerations, it must be held that, even though the Council has not amended the wording of Article 65 of the Staff Regulations, it has, by the adoption of Annex XI to the Staff Regulations, adopted provisions for the implementation of that article. The general guidelines contained in that article are clarified in detail in Article 3 of Annex XI to the Staff Regulations, by which the Council establishes, for a certain number of years, the specific rules relating to the procedure laid down in Article 65 of the Staff Regulations, in particular the criteria governing exhaustively the annual adjustment of remuneration.
