Ireland nett contributor … to the EU itself. But let’s check the news:
“The Commission ordered Apple to pay €13 billion, plus interest, in unpaid Irish taxes from 2004–14 to the Irish state.”
With 5 million Irish inhabitants … that’s a €2600 present per inhabitant. So more than 10 years compenasting for the €234 nett payment. Good deal!

So which is it? Contributors or beneficiaries?
Stupid graph is stupid.

Would have to guess half of the countries due to taking their respective language’s code instead of the English one. EE is probably sth like Estonia? Followed by Latvia and Croatia? No idea what LT and EL might be then.

Really proud of Irish contributions after years of taking from the EU. The EU quite rightly gets a lot of credit for helping develop the country. It feels right to pay it back.
We invested the funds very well to be fair but I think most Irish people consider it a very cheap price to pay. Especially when the EU had our back in the Brexit negotiations.

It’s mind blowing how Hungry is constantly trying to undermine the EU for the benefit of Putin, while EU is such a cash machine for Hungary. Their entire economy will collapse if they are kicked out, it’s quite a gamble Ordan is playing.

Even though it’s not much, it’s still sad to see the fourth most populous and fourth largest economy in the EU not being a net contributor anymore.

I wonder why Luxembourg‘s net contributions are so low compared to their absolutely massive GDP-per-capita. Does anyone know?

Although this shows beneficiaries it is really only direct financial benefits. Germany has been a massive beneficiary from the EU over the past 20 years through a stable Euro and ease of export throughout Europe, but their EU costs were high too.

Italy is still a net contributor ?
No wonder people vote far right. 137% of GDP, while their money goes to eastern Europe.

Poland: 219€ of which 200€ went back to the German or Swedish construction companies Which won the tender for the implementation of the said project. Building materials imported from abroad, or bought in a local cement plant with French capital. Most of the crew was brought from the Philippines, Turkey and the Balkans. This is how projects are done in Europe. And then Poles are bombarded with statistics on flows in euros, so that we would keep quiet and allow ourselves to be molded by the German industry.
