Romanian MEPs To Be Paid EUR2,000 A Month - Sources

Romania's representatives in the European Parliament are to receive monthly wages of approximately EUR2,000, equal to the salaries of the MPs in Bucharest, official sources said Tuesday.

The sources said the MEPs' salaries will be paid from the Romanian budget until the next EP elections in 2009.

Under a government ordinance approved early this year, Romanian senators, deputies and secretaries of state within the government receive equal salaries, of nearly EUR1.800 a month.
