- Co-ordinated organisations
-
The expression coordinated organizations refers to several European intergovernmental organizations that have a common system of remuneration and pension. They are independent but have a common method of adjusting their salary scales. They also have two common technical support sections based in Paris at the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development: the Inter-organisation Study Section on Salaries and Prices (IOS)[1] and the Joint Pension Administration Section (JPAS).[2]
