Welcome back, UK!
(The UK should not demand special conditions after causing cost and temporary instability by leaving the EU.)
- rob74 3y agoThe UK has always demanded (and received) special conditions, not just on Horizon, but on lots of other things too, even while it was still in the EU.
- FiniteField 3y agoWhich was entirely fair considering that extremely significant, costly parts of the EU structure and policies are essentially special conditions to other countries. The Common Agricultural Policy was/is basically a free fund of N billion EUR/year to France. It all goes back to the fact that the entire EU has grown out of what was ultimately a deal between France and Germany, which has always left the UK out as the other one of Europe's big 3 countries. In fact France even blocked the UK from joining at all in the first place.
