DECISION No 2026/01 OF THE REGIONAL STEERING COMMITTEE OF THE TRANSPORT COMMUNITY OF THE WRITTEN PROCEDURE AMENDING DECISION NO 2019/3 OF THE REGIONAL STEERING COMMITTEE OF THE TRANSPORT COMMUNITY OF 5 JUNE 2019 ("Off. Herald of RS", No. 63/2026)

THE REGIONAL STEERING COMMITTEE OF THE TRANSPORT COMMUNITY,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the Transport Community, and in particular Article 24(1) and Article 30 thereof,

Whereas:

(1) Annex II to Decision No 2019/3 of the Regional Steering Committee of 5 June 2019 (‘Decision No 2019/3’) lays down the Staff Regulations of the Transport Community. The salary scale corresponding to the classification of posts in the Transport Community Permanent Secretariat (the ‘Secretariat’) is set out in the Appendix to those Staff Regulations.

(2) Section 9.1 of Annex II to Decision No 2019/3 states that the salary scale corresponding to the classification of posts in the Secretariat should be regularly reviewed by the Steering Committee to ensure that it remains competitive and in line with the requirements of the Secretariat.

(3) The salary scale provided in the Appendix to the Staff Regulations has remained unchanged since its adoption in June 2019. The salaries of all staff members should therefore be increased by 20% on 1 January 2026 as a one-off adjustment. This increase should also be reflected in the table headed ‘Indicative monthly salaries of staff members of the Secretariat’ in the Appendix to Annex II to Decision No 2019/3. An annual salary indexation should be introduced, taking place for the first time on 1 January 2027.

(4) To ensure that the annual salary indexation aligns with the annual adoption cycle of the Transport Community budget, this decision should apply retroactively from 1 January 2026,

HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:
