In 2017, Germany, with a net contribution of €12.8bn, was the largest contributor, followed by the UK, with €7.43bn. Poland was the biggest net recipient of the EU budget (getting more back than it contributed in the first place), followed by Greece, Romania, Hungary and Portugal.
I have never understood why rich countries like Germany, UK, France, Italy, Sweden, The Netherlands, etc., give so much money to poor countries. In exchange for that money, the largest contributors only receive contempt and insults in return.
