    Nation has its fingers crossed that we won’t imo. Remainers still have time to overturn this

    No chance. There’d be an uprising in Boston and they’d march on London fuelled on steak bakes and injustice.

    Yep, still not as good as big business though. I suppose job security might be better, unless you are British. I assume they will have their contracts terminated in 2019, and will have to live on universal discredit and what they can pick up stacking shelves.

    Correction coefficient (updated 16/03/2017)
    The basic salary is subject to a country correction coefficient to compensate for the cost of living compared to Brussels. The current London correction coefficient is 141.8% and it is reviewed on annual basis. The future location of the Agency will depend on the future relationship between the UK and the EU, which is unknown at present. Representatives of the Member States will determine the Agency's location by common agreement.

    so does this mean they get paid an extra 41.8%over working in brussels

    No, depends where they come from. Paris, less than 41.8%, Bucharest, probably much more.

    What you fail to understand is that I only say "**** 'em" because the EU have been so uncooperative. Even now, I suspect the improved offer from the UK won't be enough for our masters.
    I'd like a good deal for everyone. The EU negotiators don't!!

    They will take the deal because that won't want to lose our money. Don't listen to all the 'scare boys' Col.

    It would be funny if it wasn’t so serious. It’s still a bit funny in fairness.
