Article 17 Removal expenses

Contract staff members shall be entitled to reimbursement of the costs of removal from their previous place of employment to the location of the Institute.

The same entitlement shall apply when contract staff members leave the service of the Institute and return to the country where they resided before joining the Institute or when the contract staff member moves to another country within the European Economic Area.

Reimbursement of costs shall cover removal of contract staff members' personal household effects, excluding motor cars, boats or other forms of transport.

Reimbursement shall be made to the contract staff member concerned, on production of a certified copy of the bill by the contract staff member. The Institute may pay directly for the removal, on production of the bill by the removal firm.

The conditions and other details of reimbursement are set out in Annex VI.
