He also points out that his place of domicile at the time of recruitment was Hohenschäftlarn, which was at least 80 km distant from his place of employment, The Hague, as required under Article 71(2)(b) of the Service Regulations, and that it is “immaterial” that he was subsequently transferred to Munich.
It adds that the intention and purpose of Article 71(2) do not justify the payment of the education allowance in the complainant’s case, because the allowance aims at mitigating the disadvantages arising from geographical separation and at facilitating the education of the employee’s children within their family’s previous environment.
