Money for Nothing - Eurocrat paid more than the PM to do nothing for
up to 5 years.
Paying an EU Minister to do nothing seems rotten but then
getting value for British tax-payer’s money has never been a high priority for
the EU which is a bonfire of taxpayers’ hard-earned cash.” - UKIP MEP Jonathan Arnott
Press Release
• Last night (24.10.2016) in the European Parliament Budget Committee an amendment was passed which will allow an employee of the European Economic and Social Committee to be put on leave and given a maximum of €18,000 per month allowance until he retires, which could take up to five years.
According to the Staff statutes, 5% of all EU staff eligible for retirement, can get full pay for doing nothing up to a maximum of 5 years.
The staff member in question was on AD14 which means his basic is 12k euro per month.
UKIP MEP and member of the Budget Committee Jonathan Arnott commented:
“For this individual to be paid this staggering amount of money and then be explicitly asked to do nothing flies in the face of hard-working Brits who do a hard day’s work for their money.”
