EU Institutions: Finance
The question
To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, how much HM Government has contributed to the European Commission and EU institutions in each of the last ten years.
Answered by Lucy Rigby
When the UK was a EU Member State, financial contributions were made directly to the EU budget. These were disclosed in the annual HM Treasury EU Finances Statement (EUFS). Since the UK’s withdrawal from the EU, payments under the financial settlement in the Withdrawal Agreement continue to be disclosed annually in the EUFS. These can be found at https://www.gov.uk/government/collections/eu-annual-statement.
Financial contributions for UK association to the Horizon Europe and Copernicus programmes under the Trade and Cooperation Agreement are reported in the relevant department’s annual accounts as part of normal budgetary disclosures.
