Mr. Seamus McCarthy:

Members can see the contribution to the EU budget on the screen. The middle column deals with 2014 and the figure is €1.685 billion. The amount for 2015 is €1.952 billion. Again, it is cash accounting so it is the claim that was made at the time. There was probably a bit of settling up after the year. Members can see that there was an increase of between €250 million and €300 million.
