Summary:Parliamentary salaries as well as expense allowances for Members of the European Parliament have been subject of political debates for many decades. Particularly in Germany, the controversy between parts of the media and the European Parliament about the amount and modalities of financial allowances culminated in the context of the European election campaign 2004. In June 2005, a statute for Members of the European Parliament was adopted terminating the debate at least for the time being and preparing the floor for a standardized regulation for the first time. Parliamentary salaries (related to national regulations so far) will be subject to a European Union wide regulation from 2009 onwards. At the same time, considerable specifications were made regarding additional benefits for European parliamentarians.
