A guarantee account in the name of each staff member concerned shall be opened in the institution's general accounts. At the request of each institution concerned, this account may be centralized in the Commission's general accounts. This account shall be credited periodically with the monthly allowance referred to in Article 31 and with annual interest corresponding to the annual average of the monthly rates applied by the European Monetary Cooperation Fund to its operations in ECU (6). It shall be debited by the amount of the deficit for which the person concerned is declared liable by the institution which appointed him, in so far as the deficit is not covered by payments from the insurers.
