On the birth of a child to a member of temporary staff, the person who has actual care of the child shall receive a grant of EUR 198,31.

The same grant shall be paid to a member of temporary staff who adopts a child who is less than five years of age and is a dependant within the meaning of Article 2(2) of Annex IV.

The grant shall also be payable in the event of termination of pregnancy after not less than seven months.
