The Director of the Foundation having delegated his powers, the administrative authority referred to in Article 41h of the Conditions of Employment shall be responsible for settling claims to retirement, invalidity, survivor's or provisional pension. A detailed statement of the settlement shall be communicated to the staff member or to those entitled under him and to the Foundation at the same time as the decision awarding the pension.
A retirement or invalidity pension shall not be paid concurrently with the salary payable by the Foundation or by one of the institutions of the European Communities.
The grant of a retirement, invalidity or survivor's pension shall not give entitlement to the expatriation allowance.
The amount of pension may at any time be calculated afresh if there has been error or omission of any kind.
The pension shall be liable to modification or withdrawal if the award was contrary to the provisions of the Conditions of Employment and of this Annex.
Where a staff member dies and those entitled under him do not apply for their pension within one year from the date of his death, they shall lose their entitlement, save where force majeure is duly established.
A staff member or those entitled under him in favour of whom benefits arise under the pension scheme shall furnish such written proof as may be required and inform the administrative authority referred to in Article 41h of the Conditions of Employment of any facts liable to affect their entitlement.
Under conditions to be established by the Commission of the European Communities, staff members may request the Foundation to make any payments necessary to constitute or maintain their pension rights in their country of origin.
These payments shall not exceed 13·5 % of basic salary and shall be charged to the budget of the Foundation.
