".
The Left Party believes that it is wrong in principle to vote on our own salaries and other remuneration.
The Left Party is in favour of proposals finally having been made to do away with the standard reimbursement of MEPs’ travel expenses. It is good that, in the future, reimbursement should be on the basis of actual costs.
The Left Party is not, however, in favour of the proposed salary, the level of which is too high. High salaries must not turn elected representatives into a financial elite.
Tax must, of course, be paid on a national basis, and there must be no EU tax.
An unduly favourable pension system should also come in for the same criticism.
For these reasons, I shall abstain in the final vote."@en1
