Administrative Circulars No. 12 A (Rev. 2) - "Education fees” and No. 12 B (Rev. 2) - “Education fees and language courses”

Administrative Circulars No. 12 A (Rev. 2) entitled “Education fees” and No. 12 B (Rev. 2) entitled “Education fees and language courses”, approved by the Director-General following discussion at the Standing Concertation Committee meeting of 27 June 2013 and entering into force on 1 August 2013, are available on the intranet site of the Human Resources Department (see here).

Administrative Circular No. 12 A (Rev. 2) is applicable to Staff Members (except former “Local Staff Members”) recruited before 1st January 2007. Administrative Circular No. 12 B (Rev. 2) is applicable to Staff Members recruited on or after 1st January 2007, to Fellows, to Scientific Associates, to Guest Professors and to former “Local Staff” recruited before 1st January 2007.

They cancel and replace Administrative Circulars No. 12 A (Rev. 1/Corr.) entitled "Education fees” and No. 12 B (Rev. 1/Corr.) entitled “Education fees and language courses” of December 2009.

These circulars were revised in order to implement the modifications introduced into the Staff Rules and Regulations in January 2013 relating to the introduction of the status of Associate Member State and new categories of associated members of the personnel. In particular, it was necessary to replace the notion of “European territory of one of the Organization’s Member States” by the notion of “territory of one of the Organization’s Member or Associate Member States”.

Furthermore, Administrative Circular No. 12 B (Rev.2) now refers to “Scientific Associates” and “Guest Professors” instead of “Paid Associates”.

Finally, aspects of payment of meal expenses (Administrative Circular No. 12 A (Rev.2)) and accommodation fees (Administrative Circular No.12 A and B (Rev. 2)) are specified in more detail.
