"Madam President, thank you, and how wonderful it is to see you in the Chair once more. I think we all agree that remuneration should be aligned with performance. We have all been angered by what we see as directors, bankers and others who seem to be rewarded for failure, especially when their actions have led to an increase in debt and contributed to the credit bubble and the problems that we have seen. However, we should be aware of the unintended consequences of any regulation, and I am afraid that all too often, we are not. If you regulate the variable part of remuneration, if you regulate bonuses in a way that is not aligned with performance, how will these organisations respond? They will simply increase the non-variable part. They will increase the basic salary and reduce the variable part of remuneration. What you then end up with is a situation where performance and reward are actually far less aligned than they were before. Let us make sure that we study the unintended consequences of our actions."@en1
