HL Deb 14 March 2003 vol 645 cc210-1WA
Lord Pearson of Rannoch

asked Her Majesty's Government:

After accession, how many people from each of the applicant nations will be employed by the European Union; and what will be their average salary. [HL2026]

Baroness Symons of Vernham Dean

I cannot predict how many people from each of the applicant countries will be employed by the EU after their accession. The EU does not have quotas for employing staff of different nationalities. It employs staff solely on the basis of merit and suitability.

The following is a breakdown of the number of staff at each grade (top figure in cell) and their relative monthly salaries (bottom figure) within the Commission. Salaries are given in euros. Echelons are the individual pay steps within each grade.
