Statistics and figures can be very deceptive. This video explains a few effects that distort the figures of contributions to the EU by the Member States. Using the 2015 operating budgetary balance we try to give a more nuanced insight into the net cost of the EU.
Regardless of your opinion about the (cost of the) EU, nuanced facts make for a better discussion.
For more information on the EU and its institutions please subscribe to our channel. In this series we explain complex aspects of the EU in a comprehensive and understandable way. If however, despite our diligence and help of Dr. Jan Oster, we have left something out or made a mistake, please be so kind to tell and forgive us.
