It is thus that we discuss – as if it were the most self-evident thing in the world – how the candidate countries will in future finance the British rebate, even though they are barred from being given one themselves. In terms of the history of the EU, that is a one-off; previously, all net contributors got a rebate in their first year.
C’est ainsi que l’on discute, le plus évidemment du monde, du financement de la réduction de la contribution britannique par les nouveaux pays membres dans la future Union européenne, réduction qui leur est, à eux-mêmes, refusée.
