"I think we need a cap for the bonuses, as part of your income, or part of the revenue of the company you are working (for) or part of the income of that company," he told reporters.

"I hope to see a European agreement on this. We of course know that (the) United States is very often against this idea. It's not the only regulation that needs to be done."
