Where a husband and wife are both members of staff, each has the right in respect of
himself or herself and in respect of dependants to the flat-rate payment of travelling
expenses, in accordance with the above provisions; each dependant shall be entitled to
one payment only. The payment in respect of dependent children is fixed at the request
of the husband or wife, on the basis of the place of origin of one or other of them.
Where a member of staff marries during a given school year and thereby becomes
entitled to the household allowance, the travel expenses payable for the spouse shall be
calculated in proportion to the period from the date of the marriage to the end of the
school year.
Any alteration to the basis of calculation which may arise from changes in family status
after the date of payment of the sums in question shall not render the member of staff
concerned liable to make repayment.
Travel expenses for children aged two to ten years shall be calculated on the basis of
half of the kilometric allowance and half the flat-rate supplement, the children being
deemed for the purposes of calculation to have completed their second or tenth year on
1 January of the current year.
2. The flat-rate payment shall be based on an allowance per kilometre of distance between
the member of staff's place of employment and place of origin; such distance to be
calculated according to the method laid down in Article 60(2) of these Regulations.
The kilometric allowance is set out in Annex VI to these Regulations.
To the above kilometric allowance a flat-rate supplement shall be added, which is
likewise set out in Annex VI.
The kilometric allowances and flat-rate supplements shall be adapted every year in the
same proportion as remuneration.
3. A member of staff whose service is terminated in the course of a school year for any
reason other than death shall, if he is in active employment in the service of the
European Schools for less than nine months of that year, be entitled only to part of the
payment provided for in paragraph 1, calculated in proportion to the time actually spent
in the service of the Schools.
