Because every EU member state is obliged to contribute about 1% of its GNI to the Union’s budget, the UK’s data revision had to lead to a back payment of billions of euros. But British Prime Minister David Cameron’s government has declared that it does not intend to pay money that “the European Commission was not expecting and does not need.”
由于每个欧盟成员国都有义务贡献其1%的GNI作为欧盟预算，因此英国的数据修正导致它需要多缴纳数十亿欧元。但英国首相卡梅伦政府宣布不会支付“不在欧盟委员会意料之中，也不在其需要之中”的钱。
