Regulations for Members of the Seconded Staff of the European ...

Staff must declare all meals or accommodation provided by or reimbursed by any of the EU
Institutions, a European School, another administration or third party. The corresponding
deductions will be applied as follows:
The daily allowance is to be reduced by 30% for each meal provided by others. The reduction
for breakfast is 15%. The remaining 25% is considered to cover all other expenses.
Additional reimbursements may be made on submission of a duly substantiated application
approved by the authorising officer and accompanied by supporting documents where the total
justifiable expenses exceed that part of the allowance intended to cover sundries (25%), for
example: the costs of communications (telephone, mobile phone, fax, Internet, etc.) incurred
for official purposes and approved by the authorising officer (itemised telephone bills with
numbers and names of contact persons to be submitted identifying the official
communications).
