# Regulation No 31 (EEC), 11 (EAEC), laying down the Staff Regulations of Officials and the Conditions of Employment of Other Servants of the European Economic Community and the European Atomic Energy Community, Article 50


A senior official as defined in Article 29(2) may be retired in the interests of the service by decision of the appointing authority.
Such retirement shall not constitute a disciplinary measure.
An official thus retired who is not assigned to another post in his category or service corresponding to his grade shall receive an allowance calculated in accordance with Annex IV.
Income received by the official from any new employment during this period shall be deducted from the allowance provided for in the preceding paragraph if that income and the allowance together exceed the total remuneration last received by the official calculated by reference to the table of salaries applicable on the first day of the month for which the allowance is to be paid.
The person concerned shall be required to provide on request written proof and to notify his or her institution of any factor that may affect entitlement to the benefit.
The allowance shall not be subject to a correction coefficient.
Article 45, third, fourth and fifth paragraphs, of Annex VIII shall apply by analogy.
When the official's entitlement to the allowance ceases, he shall be entitled, provided he has attained the age of fifty-eight years, to receive payment of pension without applying the reduction laid down in Article 9 of Annex VIII.
