Having regard to the Staff Regulations of Officials of the European Communities and the Conditions of employment of other servants of the Communities laid down by Regulation (EEC, Euratom, ECSC) No 259/68, and in particular the first paragraph of Article 13 of Annex X thereto,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,

(5)
Provision should be made for any such recovery to be restricted to a period of no more than six months preceding the date of entry into force of this Regulation and for its effects to be spread over a period of no more than 12 months following that date, as is the case with the weightings applicable within the European Community to remuneration and pensions of officials and other servants of the European Communities,
