Poland In EU's Top Ten
Poland received 2.7 billion euro from the EU budget in 2004, which places Poland in the 10th place among all 25 EU member states.
The number – reduced by Warsaw’s fees paid to the common purse – gives Poland a net profit of 1.4 billion euro. A report on last year’s budget, presented by the European Commission, indicates that all new member states benefited from entering the EU, yet the old members remain the biggest beneficiaries.
