In the debate on latest economic developments – focussing on Greece – during the Commission meeting on 14 February, the following point was raised (among others):

“the problem posed by the discrepancy between the huge sacrifices asked of the great majority of the Greek people and the fact that senior executive pay remained untouched, making the efforts required by the population hard to accept” (minutes, see page 15)

Is it just me who never heard that argument from an EU Commissioner in public?
