Euro Area

[Philippus Flavius Homovallumus]

EDIT: how does the CAP hurt British farmers?

British farmers don't qualify like French farmers, or Italian farmers.

You might ask why that is - it's known that on Sicily there are twice as many cows on paper as on the ground. Britain makes a net loss on the cap, on fishing, and a net loss on EU spending overall.

France makes a net gain.

The point to understand is that we'd rather spend the CAP money in Wales or the North than France.

Edit: The immigration problem is due to the 1997 treaty and then the admission of former Warsaw Pact countries. We quite like the Poles coming over here, always have, but we can't provide jobs for all of them and our own unemployed.
