Probably, and will of course be a great boost to their gold, jewel encrusted pensions.

A time to get the bad news out I guess...

...MEPs; salaries From July 2009, instead of MEPs receiving the same salary as national MPs, as is currently the case, MEPs will all be paid the same salary directly from the EU budget, amounting to 38.5% of that of an ECJ judge.

2010 is the first full year in which MEPs will receive their new salaries. The total 2010 budget for MEPs’ salaries is €69.7 million . Divided by 736 MEPs (the number of MEPs that will be elected under the Nice Treaty) this equals €94,762 or £81,745 per MEP...

Apparently the Italian guys took a large reduction, whilst the Rumanian receives a large increase...
Par for the euro-course.
