HUNGARY NET PAYER OF EU

In 2004 Hungary will be a net payer of the European Union though the government has counted in this year’s budget with a HUF 83,6 billion extra income. In contrast to this, Hungary must pay HUF 46,2 billion more into the common EU treasury than the sum which is expected from Brussels – this is the essence of the report of the Ministry of Finance and that of the minister without portfolio responsible for the coordination of European integration issues.
