Top Eurocrats get hugh payrise
Herman Van Rompuy, EU President is one of over 1000 eurocrats earning more than David Cameron
GREEDY Eurocrats are on course for three pay rises in the next 12 months, boosting their already generous salaries by more than five per cent, the Daily Express can reveal.
While European families are being called on to make huge sacrifices to bring their countries out of recession, they must also pay to make Brussels bureaucrats richer by thousands of pounds a year.
Last night UK Independence Party Euro MP Nigel Farage said: “Their arrogance is laid bare. All of us face pay cuts and loss of jobs while they get richer. This proves that the only recession-proof job is working for the European Union.”
