The report adopted today will help improve the employment conditions of accredited parliamentary assistants undertaking their duties in one of Parliament’s three places of work. The changes it contains have long been awaited both by the assistants themselves and by Members of this House. The report introduces a distinction between local assistants and accredited assistants, in view of the specific nature of the work of the latter group of assistants.
Pursuant to the clearly drafted assistants’ statute, accredited parliamentary assistants will henceforth enjoy many privileges hitherto reserved exclusively for servants of the other European institutions. Most importantly, they will benefit from privileges that will eliminate unnecessary uncertainty relating, for instance, to where taxes should be paid, healthcare and social insurance. In addition, the statute will put an end to the lack of clarity relating to assistants’ remuneration. Assistants will be allocated to specific grades and basic rates of remuneration clearly laid down.
The statute also benefits Members of this House. Mutual trust constitutes the main foundation of Members’ work with the assistants they employ and of their relationship with the latter. The statute does not restrict Members’ freedom to choose the assistants they wish to work with. It does not therefore endanger the independence of Members of the European Parliament in the exercise of their duties."@en1
