ACCESS TO THE COMMISSION’S INTERNET SITES
PMO Contact has become STAFF Contact :
From the 15th of May 2019 STAFF Contact has replaced PMO Contact.
This tool will contain all the information for the retired people of the Institutions and will
allow them to ask questions while offering greater level of security.
In order to be able to connect to STAFF Contact, you will need to have an EU Login account.
EU-Login Account is the European Commission’s user authentication service which allows you to access to:
– My Intracomm , the Commission’s intranet site and the “Retirees” portal, specially created to make it easier to navigate the site = https://myintracomm.ec.europa.eu.retired/
You can also contact the PMO Pension by phone : +32 2 2978800, from Monday to Friday , 9h30 – 12h30.
– JSIS on line, to manage your situation regarding sickness insurance =
https://webgate.ec.europa.eu/RCAM/
If you already had access to JSIS on line (via the former ECAS account), hardly anything will change : instead of entering your old login, you will be asked to enter your email address, which will subsequently be your unique login.
Please note that, in order to create an EU login account, you need to have a mobile phone, computer or tablet and an email address.
If you don’t have this kind of equipment, you can continue to send your mail by post or
to leave it directly to MERO, Av. de Tervuren 41 – Brussels
(see page 8 of this Vade-mecum).
But, anyway, you will always receive information directly concerning you in paper form: administrative information, specific information, Info Seniors, VOX bulletin, etc..
If you don’t have an EU Login account (formerly ECAS account), you can create one with the help of the operating manual sent you in October 2016, which is also available on the AIACE website https://aiace-europa.eu/ (click on ‘Services’ – ‘RCAM on line’ – ‘How to create an EU login account’).
+ email : pmo.eu.login@ec.europa.eu

Annex ACA – List of health insurances and accident insurances
Supplementary cover for hospitalization / surgical operations
A serious operation with subsequent long-term rehabilitation (in hospital) and care can prove expensive: some tens of thousands of euros. In these circumstances, it can be necessary to have some back-up cover, especially if it enables you to go over the JSIS ceilings.
As from 01.01.2015, there are 2 collective insurance policies and 4 individual policies, well documented, available to retired Commission staff affiliated to the JSIS (all of them private but linked to JSIS rules), limited to hospitalization care :
- HOSPI SAFE by Allianz Care; negotiated by Afiliatys.
- HOSPITALIZATION by Cigna (BCVR 8673), negotiated by AIACE.
- EURPRIV SANTE by Cigna (BCVR 8672)
- EUROSANTE Option « Tranquillité » by Worldwide Care Allianz DE / Concordia / Vanbreda Risks and Benefits / introduced by Union Syndicale and Save Europe.
- EUROHOSPI by Santalia / EAS, introduced by R&D.
- EUCARE HOSPI by Santalia / WYR, introduced by FFPE.
- ELP GOLD EU – option 1 by Expat & Co, introduced by FFPE.
More extensive supplementary cover: hospitalization / surgical
operation / certain out-patient expenses / dental care / eye care /etc.
There is one collective insurance policy and five individual policies available to EU Institutions staff affiliated to the JSIS2. They cover more than hospital care:
- HOSPI SAFE PLUS negotiated by AFILIATYS with Allianz Care.
- EURPRIV SANTE PLUS by Cigna
- DKV EU Plus by the FFPE with DKV Lux., WYR and SE with INS consult.
- EU HEALTH by Foyer Global Health, Luxemburg (introduced in a independent way)
- EUROSANTE Option « Optimum » by Worldwide Care Allianz DE / Concordia / Vanbreda Risks and Benefits / INS consult, introduced by Union Syndicale and Save Europe.
- EUROSANTE + introduced by R&D with Santalia and EAS Brussels.
- EU CARE + introduced by FFPE with Santalia and WYR SCRL Brussels.
- ELP GOLD EU introduced by FFPE with Expat & Co and WYR SCRL Brussels.
- EURPRIV PLUS from Cigna similar to HOSPI SAFE PLUS.
Accident cover
Medical care costs due to an accident, are covered by the JSIS and the top insurances as if they were an illness (reimbursement 85 % or 80 %).
Specific accident insurance is necessary for 100% coverage, independently of the supplementary health insurances, in case of accident and to receive a lump sum in the event of invalidity or death when the accident insurance provided by the Staff Regulations is not available (retired staff or staff in invalidity).
Such a specific accident insurance for pensioners by AIACE (Insurance company: Cigna is also available for colleagues in invalidity.
____________
1 Cigna = ex Vanbreda International
2 EAS/ASSOR insurance was stopped by ASSOR in December 2012. EAS will try to propose a new policy early 2013
Changing insurance company for Hospi Safe
The framework contract which governs the insurance policy Hospi Safe (Cigna-Allianz BE) has ended on 31.12.2019.
A public procurement procedure was lunched by Afiliatys at the end of February 2018 in order to ensure the continuation of this complementary health insurance, Hospi Safe, for the 24,000 present subscribers.
The closure of the procedure took place at the end of April and was concluded as follows:
Hospi Safe the insurance policy proposed by Afiliatys.
Allianz Care(1) is the insurance company to manage this policy in replacement of Cigna, since January 1st 2020.

Annex R3 – Articles 24, 90 & 91 of the Staff Regulations
Article 24
The Communities shall assist any official, in particular in proceedings against any person perpetrating threats, insulting or defamatory acts or utterances, or any attack to person or property to which he or a member of his family is subjected by reason of his position or duties.
They shall jointly and severally compensate the official for damage suffered in such cases, in so far as the official did not either intentionally or through grave negligence cause the damage and has been unable to obtain compensation from the person who did cause it.
Article 90 (1)
1. Any person to whom these Staff Regulations apply may submit to the appointing authority a request that it take a decision relating to him. The authority shall notify the person concerned of its reasoned decision within four months from the date on which the request was made. If at the end of that period no reply to the request has been received, this shall be deemed to constitute an implied decision rejecting it, against which a complaint may be lodged in accordance with the following paragraph 2.
Article 90 (2)
2. Any person to whom these Staff Regulations apply may submit to the appointing authority a complaint against an act adversely affecting him, either where the said authority has taken a decision or where it has failed to adopt a measure prescribed by the Staff Regulations. The complaint must be lodged within three months. The period shall start to run:
– on the date of publication of the act if it is a measure of a general nature;
– on the date of notification of the decision to the person concerned, but in no case later than the date on which the latter received such notification, if the measure affects a specified person; if, however, an act affecting a specified person also contains a complaint against another person, the period shall start to run in respect of that other person on the date on which he receives notification thereof but in no case later than the date of publication;
– on the date of expiry of the period prescribed for reply where the complaint concerns an implied decision rejecting a request as provided for in paragraph 1.
The authority shall notify the person concerned of its reasoned decision within four months from the date on which the complaint was lodged. If at the end of that period no reply to the complaint has been received, this shall be deemed to constitute an implied decision rejecting it, against which an appeal may be lodged under article 91.
Article 91
1. The Court of Justice of the European Communities shall have jurisdiction in any dispute between the Communities and any person to whom these Staff Regulations apply regarding the legality of an act adversely affecting such person within the meaning of Article 90(2). In disputes of a financial character the Court of Justice shall have unlimited jurisdiction.
2. An appeal to the Court of Justice of the European Communities shall lie only if:
– the appointing authority has previously had a complaint submitted to it pursuant to Article 90(2) within the period prescribed therein, and
– the complaint has been rejected by express decisions or by implied decision.
3. Appeals under paragraph 2 shall be filed within three months. The period shall begin:
– on the date of notification of the decision taken in response to the complaint;
– on the date of expiry of the period prescribed for the reply where the appeal is against an implied decision rejecting a complaint submitted pursuant to Article 90(2); nevertheless, where a complaint is rejected by express decision after being rejected by implied decision but before the period for lodging an appeal has expired, the period for lodging the appeal shall start to run afresh.
4. By way of derogation from paragraph 2, the person concerned may, after submitting a complaint to the appointing authority pursuant to Article 90(2), immediately file an appeal with the Court of Justice, provided that such appeal is accompanied by an application either for a stay of execution of the contested act or for the adoption of interim measures. The proceedings in the principal action before the Court of Justice shall then be suspended until such time as an express or implied decision rejecting the complaint is taken.
5. Appeals under this Article shall be investigated and heard as provided for in the Rules of Procedure of the Court of Justice of the European Communities.

From Monday to Friday: without appointment, from 8h30 to 12h00 and from 13h00 to 16h30.

Name, nationality, marriage, cohabitation, matrimonial property regimes, separation and divorce, parental arrangements and maintenance obligations: these are all things that can get more complicated if you are living abroad. Which law applies? Which is the competent court? May non-officials – retired officials, students, citizens of the new Member States, their spouses, partners and children – reside freely in Member States other than their own and work there?
