Baroness Ashton, the EU’s foreign policy chief, is in line to rake in £400,000 over three years from European taxpayers – without having to do any work. Her job ends next year and her generous golden goodbye will amount to £133,500 a year – the equivalent of 55 per cent of her £287,543 salary – until the end of 2017.
On leaving office, the high representative of foreign affairs will immediately get one month’s salary, or £23,962. She will then receive more than half her annual salary for the next three years.
When she reaches retirement age in 2021, she will become eligible for her EU pension which will be worth £61,000 a year .... http://www.dailymail.co.uk
