Disclosure of senior management salaries helps reduce excessive compensation, which is a very common problem due to the often cozy relationship between the supervisory board and senior management. Human nature is guided by self interest and there have been plenty of non-profit scandals over the years. If you are a running a company or organization in the public interest, you sure as hell should be willing to disclose your compensation. The only real motive for not dosing so is embarassment as how much money you are making.
Good ideas are good ideas whether Europe practices them or not, Gert. And let me add that given the scandals in European cooperates and at the EU Parliament, European transparency standards are low and inadequate. Privacy is used as a cover for inadequate disclosure and bad deeds. Regards, Roderick.
