Recital 7
(7) Demographic changes and the changing age structure of the population concerned require that the pension age be increased, subject however to transitional measures for officials and other servant of the European Union already in service. These transitional measures are necessary to respect acquired rights of officials already in service who have contributed to the notional pension fund for European Union officials. The pension age should also be made more flexible by making it easier for staff to voluntarily continue to work until the age of 67 and making it possible, in exceptional circumstances to work until the age of 70.

5a. Article 11a shall be replaced by the following: 'Article 11a 1. An official shall not, in the performance of his duties and save as hereinafter provided, deal with a matter in which, directly or indirectly, he has any personal interest such as to impair his independence, and, in particular, family and financial interests. This shall also apply with regards to matters on which the official has been actively working in the course of a previous occupational activity, whether gainful or not, undertaken within the past three years, in particular if the occupational activity in question was performed in collaboration with a stakeholder in the matter. 2. All newly appointed officials shall complete a comprehensive declaration of interest including information about previous occupational activities for the three years prior to the date on which they start to work in the institutions, as provided for by each institution in accordance with Article 110. 3. Any official to whom it falls, in the performance of his duties, to deal with a matter referred to above shall immediately inform the Appointing Authority. The Appointing Authority shall take any appropriate measure, and may in particular relieve the official from responsibility in this matter.

Article 1 – point 5 b (new)
5b. Article 16 shall be replaced by the following: 'Article 16 An official shall, after leaving the service, continue to be bound by the duty to behave with integrity and discretion as regards the acceptance of certain appointments or benefits. Officials intending to engage in an occupational activity, whether gainful or not, within two years of leaving the service shall inform their institution thereof. If that activity is related to the work carried out by the official during the last three years of service and could lead to a conflict with the legitimate interests of the institution, the Appointing Authority may, having regard to the interests of the service, either forbid him from undertaking it or give its approval subject to any conditions it thinks fit. The institution shall, after consulting the Joint Committee, notify its decision within 30 working days of being so informed. If no such notification has been made by the end of that period, this shall be deemed to constitute implicit acceptance. All institutions and agencies shall regularly publish a list of all cases assessed under this Article, without prejudice to the provisions of Regulation (EC) No 45/2001 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 18 December 2000 on the protection of individuals with regard to the processing of personal data by the Community institutions and bodies and on the free movement of such data1, and shall produce an annual report which includes statistical information and details of emerging trends. The list shall include the name of the official, particulars of his former role, his proposed new role, the proposed date of his departure from the institution or agency concerned and of his assumption of functions in his new role, the final assessment under this Article and any restrictions placed upon his acceptance of the role. Leave on personal grounds may not be granted to an official for the purpose of his engaging in an occupational activity, whether gainful or not, which would involve lobbying or advice on lobbying an institution on issues relating to those with which he has been directly dealing within the institution during the past three years. The term "lobbying" shall be interpreted, in accordance with the definition used by the EU Joint Transparency Register, as meaning activities carried out with the objective of directly or indirectly influencing the formulation or implementation of policy and decision- making processes of the institutions. ________________ 1 OJ L 8, 12.1.2001, p. 1.';
