Net payers and receivers from the EU budget

  1. There seems to be a country or two missing from this graphic….

  2. I like how nobody shows a graphic of how the “red countries” dominate the markets of the “blue”. Most of things I have on shelves has Germany/France etc. on them. Even the EU budget goes to them, as all investments made with it require their products.

  3. Is this including the funds for Poland that are still “frozen” or without?

  4. Oooh, yes, Poland bad bad take lot money. Countries missing? Oh they are definitely not taking much. (Well just because we are small we wouldn’t look that bad here but per capita… Oh boy)

  5. So that’s how Poland are paying for this fancy big new army of theirs.

  6. Oh yes, Germany and France are so good and they do it for charity. It is not that these countries dominate the markets of poorer countries and use cheaper labor for greater profits.

  7. Ah yes, the famous “polan bad” plot in a new incarnation. Worth mentioning that for every euro that comes to Poland 0,75€ goes back to Germany and France through Lidl, Auchan etc. which totally dominate the market (not even talking about other types of goods) so it’s not charity – “germoney pays and polan takes so polan shut up and listen”

  8. There must be a mistake, here I always read Italy would be a failed state without the money of the hard working Northern Europeans

  9. Why do we keep giving money to Hungary when they’re openly working for putin and against us?

  10. What you see is price paid by WE, what you don’t see is value extracted by WE.

    This gets posted often.

  11. I wish my country did more policies similar to Israel and relied on its own/the United States. I’m not against the EU or euro by any means because it’s going to be a suicide now but I’m also annoyed that some people in other countries think it’s some type of charity and they have a moral superiority. We did great before the EU and it seems like it’s a mix of benefits and losses, of course working on mutual benefit is great and it’s usually the enemies of the EU that want to push division but sometimes it’s hard to dismiss that part. I don’t like that my country has been bailed out so I do hope we will become contributors like Ireland once/if we pass the EU average considering we grow now.

  12. Poland is the biggest beneficiary but it also has a number of inquiries into rule of law and the EU money is currently withheld at least to some extent.

  13. Why are we giving money to hungary? theyre clearly prorussia
