2/9 Given that the salaries in Europe are much higher than on the world market, the European Commission proposes to lower the salaries in Europe in 2010 to the world market level and to compensate for the difference through income support.
3/9 A salary of, for example, € 15 per hour is reduced to € 3 per hour, supplemented by a fixed monthly amount of € 1920 (€ 12 x 160 hours). Overtime is not supplemented with this income supplement.
4/9 The employee who wants to claim this income supplement must prove that he has worked in the EU. The rules will be stricter in 2011. To be eligible for this income supplement, employees must use public transport and must not be late for work more than 3 times a month.
5/9 The income supplements are paid with a one-month delay to make checks possible.
Fortunately, the crisis is over and the world wage has risen up to € 4 per hour. The income supplement drops to € 1760 per month. The rules will become even stricter in 2012.

6/9 To be eligible for this income supplement, the employee must prove that he is disposing of his household waste separately and using green energy.
The additional requirements require more checking time, so the allowances are paid one month later.

7/9 In the meantime, the next crisis has arrived and world wages have fallen to € 2 per hour. Because the budget is now completely out of control, it is decided in 2013 to reduce 5% on all allowances in excess of € 15,000 per year.
8/9 The savings are partly used to pay food distributions. All income supplements are also freely published on the internet. The supplements have no inflation correction and remain based on the reference year 2009.
9/9 Fortunately this is fictional. No workers' union will accept such a policy.
Although ...
The common agricultural policy has been designed and implemented in the above way. And there are even agricultural trade unions that defended such a thing (LTO).

Perhaps this is easier to read in an unroll
