Indeed. The problem is that populist politicians in "paying" countries can use this as an argument for an EU exit. See Brexit. It's hard to sell to pay billions

Indeed. The problem is that populist politicians in "paying" countries can use this as an argument for an EU exit. See Brexit. It's hard to sell to pay billions, especially if stuff like hours/week, retirement age etc. are often nicer in those countries that need the money.
