Derbyshire
County Council employs more staff than the European
Commission
Very misleading, and totally wrong. The European Commission claims to employ only around 40,000 staff, most of whom are lawmakers. Derbyshire County Council employs teachers, social workers, park rangers, street sweepers – surely these can’t be compared to bureaucrats!
But the real figure for EU employees is nearer 170,000 anyway, according to Open Europe. http://www.openeurope.org.uk/media-centre/summary.aspx?id=656
