I worked with Brussels for one of the 'h2020' projects, that checks out. COVID didn't change anything. And this high level of pay have _no_ impact on corruption. Zero. None. In my experience, it's the opposite even. Bureaucrats keep saying 'i don't think that's a good idea, let's ask the experts we hired what they think' and the elected/appointed official say 'lets do it anyway, my friend as SAP/Atos say we're good'. French are the worst also, but maybe because I feel like Atos is the worst company that ever existed and appointed officials call them for everything. You want some subvention? Use 85% of it to buy their bullion shit, as well as their service contract (which is them basically sending mails to redhat because they're incompetent fucks). They hire incompetent at all levels. The few who aren't probably leave early.
