    Obviously, does not happen for all and individuals can negotiate out also.

    It's not really about percentage but more about the cash he makes
    10% of 200 quid is a lot different to 10% of 500. He will have a set figure that it just isn't viable for them to go below so there is a hard stop. In general 10% isn't a bad rate at all and it's very uncommon they'll go down to 5%. But as I say it depends on how much actual cash we are talking and how many contractors they have on site amongst other things.

    They may do what the other lot are proposing. Move a small number of passport in people into EUroland and leave everyone else as is. Think it was DB proposing that.

    Merkel knows the impact she will not allow it to affect German finances so its unlikely to change!!
