During a meeting of the European Parliament's budget committee on 16 April 2015, it became clear its members were set to propose an increase to their monthly allowances, as part of a broader plan of staff reshuffle. An MEP received at this point an allowance of €21,379 a month for expenses like assistants' salaries, supplies, and studies. This proposal would increase it by an extra €1,500 per month bringing the annual allowance total to €275,000 per MEP or around €1 billion over the EP's five-year term. Such change would happen as soon as new rules on local assistants were agreed. |
