The European President (or European Union President to be more precise) , Earns 350.000 Euro (525.000 Dollars) starting in 2010 (the first year this function will be operational). That`s without any travel ,representation and security costs which are paid outside of his salary and reaches many millions. With this he earn slightly more then the US president (400.000 dollars/267.000Euro) but also represents a greater number of citizens. The EU currently has just under 500 million citizens and more nations are about to join. The EU is also working on it`s own EU military and in the future most likely will allow EU citizens to vote for their own President unlike the indirect vote now which has EU citizens choose their representatives who then elect the EU president.
The President of the European Council serves a term of two and a half years, which can be renewed once, allowing for a maximum of five years in total. This position is distinct from other EU leadership roles, such as the President of the European Commission, who serves a five-year term that can also be renewed.

The executive branch of the European Union (EU) is primarily represented by the European Commission. It is responsible for proposing legislation, implementing policies, and managing the day-to-day operations of the EU. The Commission also ensures that EU laws are applied properly across member states and represents the EU in international affairs. Additionally, the President of the European Commission leads this branch and coordinates its activities.
There isn't actually a President of the European Union. However, the President of the European Council is often referred to as such. Belgian leader Herman Van Rompuy currently holds this position.
No. As I am sure you know, the European Union is a conglomeration of countries that are part of the union. Many organizations have presidents - most companies with a board of directors have a president, non-profit organizations frequently have a president.
Europe does not have a president. Europe consists of many different countries, some of which have presidents and some of which have other kinds of leaders like kings or queens.The European Union is an organisation which has 27 countries as members, which is just over half of the countries that are in Europe. In the European Union, none of the "Presidents" have any executive authority over member nations, and instead coordinate the policies of the EU itself.President of the European Council (EU)The first President of the newly-instituted European Council is Herman Van Rompuy from Belgium, appointed in December, 2009.President of the European Commission (EU)The President of the commission, the major policy body, is José Manuel Durão Barroso, who took office in October 2004 and was re-elected to a five-year term in 2009.President of the European Parliament (EU)This official presides over debate in the European Parliament, in the manner of Speakers of a congress. The current President, Jerzy Buzek, was elected in 2009 to a 2 1/2 year term.None of these can be considered to be presidents of Europe.
