Sallaries in the Eurozone

Jean-Clod Trishe
The sallary of the chief of European Central Bank Jean-Clod Trishe was increased with 2% last year. This in fact is not against of its exhortations not to increase the sallaries of the workers in Europe. The increasing of Trishe's sallary is only with 2%, which is lower than the inflation in the Eurozone, wrote Bloomberg.
The sallary of Jean-Clod Trishe reached 345,252 EUR, which is 6,780 EUR more than the one from 2006. This was written in the yearly accounting reports from European central Bank. The reports were published into public for the first time yesterday. Just to compare, the chief of the Federal reserve Ben Bernanke is getting 191,300 USD, and the president of Bank of England - Mervin King is getting 283,564 pounds.
Trishe claims, that the increasing of the sallaries in the Eurozone is some threat to the pricing stability in time, when the inflation had reached 3.2%. The European central Bank is taking for its own general object keeping the inflation in the borders of 2%, but the inflation for the previous years was 2.1% and the increasing of the sallaries of German workers had been 1.4%, and it is the largest increasing for the previous 6 years.
