Not all member states contribute equally to the EU budget; some are net contributors, while others are net beneficiaries. At the end of EU-financed investment projects – payments for which are agreed and executed in the annual budget framework – the money is transferred to the beneficiary.
各成员国对欧盟预算的出资并不是对等的；一些国家是净贡献者，一些国家是净受益者。在欧盟出资的投资项目结束时——期支出在年度预算框架内同意并执行——资金便被转移给了净受益者。而净受益者所得到的资金是由净贡献者出资的。
