Each member of the Board of Directors receives a fixed basic fee which is determined in advance and is laid down in the regulations. This is identical for each member. The Chairman and Vice-Chairman receive higher fees. Additional fees are paid for membership and chairmanship of specialist committees in order to take into account the individual responsibility and workload involved. The remuneration established for each member is paid in cash on a quarterly basis.
