Recital 6
(6) The potential advantages for officials and other servants of the European Union of the application of the method should be balanced by the continuation of the system of special levy, to be renamed as 'solidarity levy'. While the rate of the special levy in force during the period from 2004 to 2012 increased gradually over time and averaged at 4.23 %, it seems appropriate in the present circumstances to increase the solidarity levy at the uniformnd to transform the rate of that levy into a progressive rate of 6% to 12%, so as to take account of a difficult economic context and its ramifications for public finances throughout the European Union, but at the same time to respect principles of social justice. Such a solidarity levy should apply to all officials and other servants of the European Union for the same period as the 'method' itself.
