Written question asked by Lord Stoddart of Swindon (Independent Labour), in the House of Lords. It was answered by Lord Sassoon (Conservative) on Monday, 13 December 2010.
EU: Salaries
- Question
- To ask Her Majesty’s Government whether the decision of the European Court of Justice to overrule the decision of member states on increases of European Union employees' salaries constitutes a loss of power by member states.
- Answer
-
The judgment does not constitute a loss of power by member states. It clarifies the measure of influence that member states can exercise over annual salary adjustments for European officials. The Government do not believe that this level of influence, or the current system, is appropriate. We are pushing actively for reform and will engage fully in a review of the system for salary adjustments, starting next year.
