Original Note:
EU officials pay taxes, levied directly and returned to the EU budget, regardless of their nationality. Thierry Breton's salary in the EU is around €22k gross monthly (not €20k net), which is 10 times less than his previous position at Atos. https://www.capital.fr/economie-politique/commission-europeenne-thierry-breton-divisera-son-salaire-par-dix-1353722 https://france.representation.ec.europa.eu/informations/y-t-il-trop-de-fonctionnaires-europeens-et-coutent-ils-trop-cher-2024-05-13_fr#:~:text=Fin%20d'un%20mythe%20%3A%20oui,au%20budget%20de%20l'UE. https://www.lesechos.fr/2013/02/les-fonctionnaires-europeens-beneficient-dun-regime-fiscal-particulier-316847
