Mr. Kyle O'Sullivan:

I know it is true of the EU budget that the spending takes place in all the larger instruments in all of the member states. The largest recipients of Common Agricultural Policy funding will be France, Germany and other larger net contributors. Certainly every state gets back. However, in terms of the net balance, when one calculates exactly what goes in and what goes out, there are slight differences in net contributors. It is probably fair to say that most of the EU spending is spent in the territories of the net contributors because they are the larger member states.
