Man kan ikke forlange, at de lande, der kun bliver bevilget 50% af bruttonationalproduktet i forhold til de nuværende medlemsstater, skal være nettoydere, lige så snart de tiltræder, fordi indbetalingen skal ske direkte, men tilbagebetalingen vil først ske med en vis forsinkelse.
You cannot demand that countries whose gross domestic product is certified as being only 50% of that of the existing Member States, that they should start out as net contributors, for the precise reason that payments have to be effected directly, whilst repayments would be made only after a period of time had elapsed.
