One consequence of last year’s enlargement is that it is forcing a far-reaching re-negotiation of all aspects of the EU budget. Most of the ten new members are much poorer than the old members, and are thus much less able or willing to pay large financial contributions.
去年欧盟扩大的一个结果就是迫使欧盟对其预算进行更为广泛的全方位再谈判。新成员国的大多数都是比老成员国穷得多的国家，因此他们也更无力或不愿支付巨额的财政派款。他们希望成为纯粹的财政受惠者，这将有助于他们的现代化。
