What do they say?

Hi ,just came across it there's a letter each month. The link i've put up , it explains about the EU cohesion fund of £57 billion pounds of which we have contributed to., but ain't allowed to have access to for UK projects.The Cohesion fund is for projects in Bulgaria ,Poland Malta etc.
Poland alone have had £23B, one Polish city Lodz has received £0.6 Billion to upgraded the railway. Our £39B exit fee is earmarked for these projects.
If you are a remainer it will open your eyes to what the EU is and has been up to and what a bad deal we have had being part of it.

I'm confused, if we're leaving of course we're not going to get access to it?

We have had access to it and are entitled access to it until 2020.

As per below;




In 2014-2020, the UK will manage seven**** operational programmes under EU Cohesion Policy. Of these, six will receive funding from the European Regional Development Fund (one for Northern Ireland, two for Wales, one for Scotland, one for Gibraltar and one for England) and six will receive funding from the European Social Fund (one each for England, Scotland, Northern Ireland and Gibraltar, two for Wales).

How much will the EU invest in the UK from 2014-2020? For 2014-2020, the UK has been allocated around € 11.8 billion (current prices) in total Cohesion Policy funding:

€ 2.6 billion for less developed regions (Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly, West Wales and the Valleys).
€ 2.5 billion for transition regions (Northern Ireland, the Highlands and Islands, Cumbria, Tees Valley and Durham, Lancashire, South Yorkshire, East Yorkshire and Northern Lincolnshire, Lincolnshire, Shropshire and Staffordshire, and Devon).
€ 5.6 billion for more developed regions (Northumberland and Tyne and Wear; Cheshire; Greater Manchester; North Yorkshire; West Yorkshire; Derbyshire and Nottinghamshire; Leicestershire, Rutland and Northamptonshire; Herefordshire, Worcestershire and Warwickshire; West Midlands; East Anglia; Bedfordshire and Hertfordshire; Es***; Inner London; Outer London; Berkshire, Buckinghamshire and Oxfordshire; Surrey, East and West Sus***; Hampshire and Isle of Wight; Kent; Gloucestershire, Wiltshire and Bristol/Bath area; Dorset and Somerset; Eastern Scotland; South Western Scotland; North Eastern Scotland; East Wales).
€ 866 million for European Territorial Cooperation.
€ 206million for the Youth Employment Initiative. Of this, the ESF will account for a minimum of €4.9 billion. The final share for ESF is fixed in light of the specific challenges the country needs to address in areas covered by the ESF.

The total allocation from Cohesion Policy funding for the 2007-2013 period was € 10.6 billion. Since the beginning of the 2007-2013 funding period, amongst other achievements, ERDF investments have helped the UK:

create more than 87 000 jobs;
assist the start-up of more than 29 000 businesses;
support more than 1 770 research and technical development projects. The ERDF provides investment for a wide variety of projects in order to stimulate and strengthen innovation in regions. This is achieved by increasing technology transfer from universities, institutes and businesses to improve products and processes, and boost commercialisation of innovations. It also promotes a shift towards knowledge-intensive growth clusters, supports businesses in their start-up phase, and encourages adoption of environmental best practice. ESF projects aim to enhance the employability and up-skilling of young people, particularly the ones not in employment, education or training (NEETs), the long-term unemployed and disadvantaged, to combat poverty, and to increase the participation of women in the labour market. In the current ESF programme in England there have been over 4 million participants (1.56 million unemployed, 554 000 inactive, 663 000 with basic skills needs, 17% disabled, 19% aged 50 and over, 36% women and 19% from ethnic minorities) of which 360 000 were in work after leaving, 150 000 gained basic skills and over 430 000 gained full qualifications at level 2 and over.

How have you sourced this figure? What does it include/exclude?

[9goals2hattricks3pen]

For 2016

UK Total Contibution £18.9 billion

Rebate £4.2 billion

EU Funded public & private sector credits £5,6 billion

Net Contibution £8.1 billion.

If my number of noughts is correct that's £267 per year for each UK tax payer.

WARNING: This net figure is less than the £9.4 billion our own Office for National Statistics calculates as the net figure. The £8.1 billion is from a highly dubious source not exactly known for its efficiency. The European Commission.

All these figures quoted may be relevant or not, true or false, but the bottom line is, as a nation, we voted to come out. I'm a Tory voter but Theresa May is making a complete 'pig's ear' of it. The problem is that at heart she is a remainer and there lies the problem. What the final outcome will be, I haven't a clue, but what I do know is that if the government reneges on what the majority voted for then my faith in democracy will be completely and utterly shot!

Can I ask you a question and also make an observation

Q. Why do you think every impartial and independent financial research or fiscal study appear to point out that we will be economically worse off for leaving the EU?

My observation is that its because the benefits of our single market membership is worth more than our contributions. Remember our contributions pay for many centralised European institutions which benefit the UK.
