    I remember a friend applying to be an EU Auditor and having to get her application in before she was 45, but after googling it looks like it was eventually abolished in 2002

    For some jobs I think it was a low as 30 or 35 though

    I am not too sure, by the looks of it, that they have to be there to accrue it...

    No wonder they want to double the size of the 'bailout' fund...
