Since there is some confusion in media and in public discussions with regard to the nature of this payment and the legal and political arguments supporting the EU’s claim, Eulalia Rubio, senior research fellow at the Jacques Delors Institute, reminds us what is in the “bill” and what is the position of the EU on this question.
