REGULATION (EU) No 1216\/2012 OF THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND OF THE COUNCIL<\/strong><\/p>\n

of 12 December 2012<\/strong><\/p>\n

introducing, on the occasion of the accession of Croatia to the European Union, special temporary measures for the recruitment of Union officials and temporary staff<\/strong><\/p>\n

THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION,<\/p>\n

Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, and in particular Article 336 thereof,<\/p>\n

Having regard to the proposal from the European Commission, submitted following consultations with the Staff Regulations Committee,<\/p>\n

After transmission of the draft legislative act to the national parliaments,<\/p>\n

Having regard to the opinion of the Court of Justice\u00a0(1<\/span>),<\/p>\n

Having regard to the opinion of the Court of Auditors\u00a0(2<\/span>),<\/p>\n

Acting in accordance with the ordinary legislative procedure\u00a0(3<\/span>),<\/p>\n

Whereas:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/colgroup>\n\n\n
\n

(1)<\/p>\n<\/td>\n

\n

On the occasion of the accession of Croatia to the European Union on 1 July 2013, special temporary measures should be adopted to derogate from the Staff Regulations of Officials of the European Union (\u2018the Staff Regulations\u2019) and the Conditions of Employment of Other Servants of the European Union, laid down in Council Regulation (EEC, Euratom, ECSC) No 259\/68\u00a0(4<\/span>).<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n\n\n\n<\/colgroup>\n\n\n
\n

(2)<\/p>\n<\/td>\n

\n

Given the size of Croatia and the number of persons potentially involved, the special temporary measures should remain in force for a substantial period. The date of 30 June 2018 appears to be the most suitable expiry date in that regard.<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n\n\n\n<\/colgroup>\n\n\n
\n

(3)<\/p>\n<\/td>\n

\n

Given the need for the planned recruitments to take place as soon as possible after accession, this Regulation should be adopted before the actual accession date,<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n
